A light snow is falling on London
All sign of the living has gone
The last train pulls into the station
And no one gets off and no one gets on

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone

One light burns in a window
It guides all the shadows below
Inside the ghost of a parting
And no one is left, just the cigarette smoke

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone

Don't fight me
I know you'll never care
Can I call you on the telephone now and then?

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone

Don't fight me
I know you'll never care
Can I call you on the telephone now and then?

    My Interpretation

    A person living an ordinary life and slipping through the cracks, hardly being noticed, being desperate for some semblance of human contact, but also thinking that others won't find them interesting enough to spend time with. "Don't hate me--I'm not special like you" describe an inferiority complex pretty well.

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”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
