This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I look at you and then I see your fire
And I'm thinking about desire
Yes, I'm thinking about desire
Telling me the things you try to hide
And I'm burning up inside
Oh how I'm burning up inside
When I think about the first time that I saw your face
I never felt this way
Oh lord no I never felt this way
And now I'm wishing that you feel the same
And if there's anyway
I'll get down on my knees and pray
You're like a burning flame
And I'll never be the same
No, I'll never be the same
What kind of fool am I
To want your body next to mine
I want your body next to mine
I need you any time
And I'm breaking down inside
Oh Lord I'm breaking down inside
You cover me with all your hopeless little fantasies
I never had before
No, I never had before
And now I'm living in my own reality
Cause of the things you did to me
Oh, the things you did to me
And I'm thinking about desire
Yes, I'm thinking about desire
Telling me the things you try to hide
And I'm burning up inside
Oh how I'm burning up inside
When I think about the first time that I saw your face
I never felt this way
Oh lord no I never felt this way
And now I'm wishing that you feel the same
And if there's anyway
I'll get down on my knees and pray
You're like a burning flame
And I'll never be the same
No, I'll never be the same
What kind of fool am I
To want your body next to mine
I want your body next to mine
I need you any time
And I'm breaking down inside
Oh Lord I'm breaking down inside
You cover me with all your hopeless little fantasies
I never had before
No, I never had before
And now I'm living in my own reality
Cause of the things you did to me
Oh, the things you did to me

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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 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 song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think its about him trying to cope with the pain while trying to save their relationship after she confessed cheating on him. The lyrics sum up exactly how I felt having dealt with this myself.
I look at you and then I see your fire And I'm thinking 'bout desire Yes I'm thinking 'bout desire
[Looking at her, he loves her and desires her]
Telling me things that you try to hide And I'm burning up inside Oh how I'm burning up inside
[She confesses she cheated on him but still wants to be with him and he finds himself burning with pain and anger]
When I think about the first time that I saw your face I never felt this way No I never felt this way
[He thinks back to when they first got together and remembers how it was only their love and he didn't feel this kind of pain with her]
And now I'm thinkin' that you feel the same
[He realizes that she too misses the time where things were better and all they felt was their love]
And I hope if there's anyway I'll get down on my knees and pray
[He would do almost anything to get back the love they lost and rebuild their relationship]
You're like a burnin' flame And I'll never be the same No I'll never be the same You're like a burnin' flame And I'll never be the same No I'll never be the same
[Dual Meaning: She lights his fire, shes hot, BUT she has also burned him badly with her infidelity, now he must carry the scars of this terrible event with him and it has changed him forever]
What kind of fool am I To want your body next to mine? I want your body next to mine
[He feels like a fool for continuing to want her after what she has done]
I need you anytime And I'm breaking down inside Oh lord I'm breaking down inside
[He feels he still needs her in his life and the pain is eating away at him, breaking him down inside]
You cover me with all your hopeless fantasies I never had before No I never had before
[She shares fantasies of being with both him and her lover at the same time. He is turned on by the fantasies but also finds them agonizingly painful, leaving him conflicted on whether he wants to act them out or not]
And now I'm living in my own reality 'cause of the things you did to me Oh the things you did to me
[After everything she has put him through its like his entire world has been turned on its side and its like he no longer knows up from down, right from left. Nothing makes sense anymore and he no longer knows whats real and whats not]
This is how I have interpreted the song and is also exactly what I myself have been through not long ago.
However we made it through and we are still together, and probably stronger for having survived that nightmare.
