Love Me Like That (feat. Sheryl Crow)

Michelle Branch

Well you sold my heart
And I'll get it back
But look me in the eye, baby
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that

Well I've walked this world
Thought time's no more
And after all this walking
They've still got me crawling on the floor
Crawling on the floor

And out of this world
Keeps on turning
Keeps me yearning

How can you turn and walk away?
Pretending everything's okay
How can you turn your back?
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that

Well I find you sad
But I shatter like broken glass
But I thought we would be different, baby
Yeah, I thought we would last
Yeah, I thought we would last

And out of this world
Keeps on standing
Every minute that you're in me

How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's okay
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that

I might not believe me baby
Don't lead me on
With loving like yours
Believe me I'm better off,
I'm better off alone

Well I was your gypsy
Throwing diamonds at your feet
Drifted around you like a satellite
I gave you everything you need
Everything you need

I know this world keeps on turning
Keeps me yearning and yearning

How can you turn and walk away
Pretending everything's okay
How can you turn your back
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you
How can you just break away
Why can't you find the words to say
Love is something you can't forget
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that

How can you throw us away
Look at what you lost today
Now everything's a shade of gray
Now you're pushing me away
Say all the things you need to say
Thought we were going all the way
Play all the games you want to play
Sooner we'll stay away

So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
