This is really only all we have (bury all of me)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (before I have a chance)
Coldest eyes, and the softest touch (To open my eyes)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (and see you laughing)
These typed letters
Beneath me (is this all we have?)
Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Or is this all just twilight)
And maybe things will turn out fine (beyond the skyline blinding me?)

Hide behind your crystal screen
And blow kisses at me
Just remember, what we said wouldn't happen, go
Write your name on my chest in kerosene
Spark a match, and you
Won't be cold again

This is really only all we have
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light
Coldest eyes
You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch
Daytime, twilight, twilight, light (twilight)

Gag and destroy me
Gag and destroy me

I have a (sorry I didn't hear you)
Collection of thunder that I stole (I was busy dying in the corner)
Thunder, that I stole (those three words)
From your windowsill (destroyed every inch of me and, yet you keep speaking)
Stole right from your windowsill (ahh)

    Correct lyrics;

    This is really only all we have: (Bury all of me) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. (Before I have a chance) Coldest eyes, and the softest touch. (To open my eyes and see you laughing.) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. These typed letters. (Is this all we have?) Beneath me. (Or is this all just twilight beyond the skyline) Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Blinding me) And maybe things will... turn out fine.

    Hide behind your crystal screen And blow kisses at me. ...Said wouldn't happen.... Go. Write your name on my chest in kerosene. Spark a match, and you, won't, be cold again.

    This is really only all we have: Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light.

    Coldest eyes. You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch.

    Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Light!

    Gag and... destroy me. Gag and... destroy me.

    (Sorry I didn't hear you) I have a (I was busy Dying in the corner) Collection of thunder that I stole (Those three words) I stole. That I stole. (Destroyed every inch of me and you keep) From your windowsill. (Speaking.) Stole... From your windowsill.

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.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
