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.
[Ashanti]
(There's no me)
In the beginnin'
When no one else was around
You were there
(Don't you know that I would never...)
And now, that everything is good
You gotta know
I'll ride out wit'chu
Foreva
[Verse 1: Ashanti]
I neva thought that I could finally stay
That always got me comin' back again
Somethin' about the way you move
Ya got me hooked on you, no matta what I do
I neva felt this way for anotha
It's feelin' kinda strange but I love it
You gotta know that I will neva leave
You did that thang to me
And you will where I be
[Chorus: Ashanti]
There's no me, without you
I can't be, without you
Don't you know that I will never leave, leavin' you
All I need, need is you
[Verse 2: Ashanti]
You're always there to make me feel so right
You got me thinkin' bout you day and night
Thinkin' bout how my life is now
How you make me smile, and I love your style
We've been togetha through thick and thin
Whateva troubles you're in, I'm in
You gotta know that I would neva leave
You did that thang to me
And you will where I be
What you've done to me
You know that I can't see, myself
Livin' without you
Bein' without you
Breathin' without you baby
What you've done to me
You know that I can't see, myself
Livin' without you
Bein' without you
Breathin' without you baby
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Caddillac Tah (Ashanti)]
Yeah, now it don't matta if you hatin' us more
We gon' get that dough
Tha camp is strong
Can't do nuttin' else but flow
I chant this cause
I'm lettin' you all know
(It's Murda, murda) Yeah
Now you know I'ma put my life on the line for yours
Pullin' nine out the drawer
Strap up when it's time for war
Stack up, every penny money over these broads
Back up, against the wall in the right or wrong
I pledge allegiance to I-N-see, it's the clique
Until I die I'ma ride for my niggas, through thick
And thin, playa and we playin' to win
Steady ballin', soarin', long diggin' these broads in
Now my brothas keep my slugs a street and pluggin' heat
Ya fuckin' wit ma family so undastand be
There's no me without them, all we got is us
Me and Ashanti tearin' it up
Nigga what
[Chorus: x 2]
[Verse 4: Ashanti]
Murder I-N-see
You know that I can't see, myself
Livin' without you
Bein' without you
Breathin' without you baby
What you've done to me
You know that I can't see, myself
Livin' without you
Bein' without you
Breathin' without you baby
Murder I-N-see

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.

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”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
i haven't heard this song yet but i like the lyrics a lot. the first ad-lib that ashanti says in the middle really reminds me of this guy i love
i just wanted to add that i finally heard this song and it is so great. its better than what i thought it was going to be. deffinatly a song you could deicate to the one you love.
its i got his album coz its ja rule's song feat ashanti, NAS and 2pac. u cant hear tupac singing but near tha end u can hear "thou shall not fear no man but god...tho as i walk thru the valley of death....far away...." and something like that...its a phat song
the remix is better, the one with Nas and Tupac, this is not that one. The one under Ja Rule is the remix. :) Theres no me w/o u baby!
