You're my concentration
Everything else is a bore
I've got myself snagged on you
No self-control now

All that I wanna do
Sleep in the shadow of you
For the rest of my life

Now we can chisel
Chisel off built up walls
Of pain deposited from past lovers
Memories they can sleep
And we can live comfortably
For the rest of our lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast (fast)
Like an avalanche

Indentured servant
A slave to a slave
Thank God for my hopeful heart
And for mutual feelings
Look how it's balanced now
Maybe we'll just settle down
For the rest of our lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion
I'm falling fast (fast)
Like an avalanche

Look how it's balanced now
Maybe we'll just settle down
For the rest of our lives
Lives

Wrong or right
Shipwrecked into you
Situation is foolish
Put up a fight
You're my big distraction
Obvious companion (distraction)
I'm falling fast (fast)
Like an avalanche

You're my big distraction
Obvious companion (distraction)
I'm falling fast (fast)
Like an avalanche

You're my big distraction
Obvious companion (distraction)
I'm falling fast (fast)
Like an avalanche

You're my big distraction
Obvious companion (distraction)
I'm falling fast (fast)
Like an avalanche

You're my big distraction
Obvious companion (distraction)
I'm falling fast (fast)
Like an avalanche

    I think some of the words may be wrong. I THINK. I just always thought it was a little different and it sounds like it when you listen to it but I may be wrong.

    "Or biggest companion" = "Obvious companion"

    "But I will fight" = "Put up a fight"

    Anyway.. this song is simply about having a crush on someone. And how when you have a crush it seems like they're the only person you want to see, talk to and be with. And sometimes it can be a "big distraction" to everything else in your life.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
