Dark, you can't come soon enough for me
Saved, from one more day of misery
Everything I love
Get back for me now
Everyone I love
I need you now

Don't forget a million miles for me
Safe and another day passed by me
Everything I love
Get back for me now
Everyone I love
I need you now

So what, I lied
I'd lie to me too (so what?)
So what, I lied
I'd lie to me too (so what?)

Hold out for the ones you know will love you
Hide out from the ones you know will love you
You, you too

Right to the edge I'm barely there
Slow
To make my move, I'm almost there
Everything I say
I say to me first
Everything I do
I do to me first

(So what?) so what, I lied
I'd lie to me too (so what?)
So what, I lied
I'd lie to me too (so what?)

Hold out for the ones you know will love you
Hide out from the ones you know will love you
You, you too

Dark, you can't come soon enough for me

    Hawt song, correct. It's like "to hell with what you say our bodies are designed for, we're built for each other, dammit."

    "tell me I'm what your hands were made for tell me I'm who your mouth was made for" this song is just... sexy

    Either way, the song is about the frustration of being held to the wrong expectations and the desire to follow one's true passion. The song supports this theme in both a sexual and educational/motivational context.

    "you've got your prophets and your mathematicians the vocal fuel of a generation" this part is referring more to the motivational context...

    but who can deny the sexual power in Sara's voice? and "if you come down on me you'll get what you asked for"

    the version of this song with different lyrics than these (which is also like a full minute longer, and much better in my opinion) is from Under Feet Like Ours, their first studio album.

    This song was written by Sara..about her "being stupid" She was struggling in one of her classes in highschool, and her teacher expected it of her, and her difficulty with accepting the fact that this subject may not be her forte.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
