There's a crack in the stack when you find that you're on your own
Raising stakes in the race, selling out so you don't get sold
Something for nothing hasn't been left for me
Tear away everything and I'm wearing memories

Take a chance on a chance, try leapfrog with a unicorn
Figure out when to shout when you sit on a corporate thorn
I bet you sleep tight every night wondering
If the one you've become is what you hated

The more I gave, the more you take
Why can't you stay?
What should I do?
Now that we're through
One thing is true
The way that I feel
YEA!

Have a drink on the fink 'till we kill off the disco fad
Fuzzy dice mixed with ice, give it up for the other man
I'm getting cold shakes from the state that I'm in
Your getting colder, I'm getting older
Stop the landslide

The more I gave, the more you take
Why can't you stay?
What should I do?
Now that we're through
One thing is true
The way that I feel

I'm pulling hair in despair
Cracker Jacks for the funeral
Pull a shade, so I can break the walls around me

What should I do?
Now that we're through
One thing is true
The way that I feel for you

    It seems like just another end of love song. The girl takes what he offers her and leaves, but he still loves her. Seems like he's kind of lost, but getting back in there.

    In the beginning he sounds alone, wrapped up in his memories with the girl. Then he talks about taking chances, getting back into the dating world, maybe. He's trying to move on, but she's evil about the breakup.

    Ahh well, I don't really know. I was just listening to the song and wanted to try to break it down a bit.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
