It's what I want
Hurry and buy
All has been tried
Follow reason and buy

Cannot shuffle in this heat
It's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve
It's all wrong, it's all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn, pure confusion
She's got pretty persuasion

It's what I want
Hurry and buy
All has been tried
Follow reasoning

Cannot put that in this heat
It's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persuasion

In the light, I saw
Quite a scene in there

It's what I want
Hurry and buy
All has been tried
Follow reason and buy

Try to put that in this heat
It's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve
It's all wrong, all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persua

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
