Faint white figures paint my sleep
Please don't tell my secrets, keep them hidden
(You got it, you got it, you got it)
If the words that matter reach your face from floor
Will you be wondering if, or
(Do I need what is given or honest?)
Does it cost me scarring if the words stay true
Even number, your nephew
(I don't want it, don't want it, don't want it anymore)

And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may
And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may

In a pain that buckles out your knees
Could you stop this if I plead?
(You got it, you got it, you got it)
So destined I am to walk among the dark
A child in keeping secrets from
(Will they know what I've done in the after?)
In the sought for matter when the words blame you
In a blood red summer I'll give you
(I don't want it, don't want it, don't want it)

And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may
And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may

What did I do to deserve?
What did I do to deserve this?
What did I do to deserve?
What did I do to deserve this?

What did I do to deserve?
What did I do to deserve this?
What did I do to deserve?
What did I do to deserve this?

What did I do to deserve?
What did I do to deserve this?
What did I do to deserve?
What did I do?

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”

Plastic Bag
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.
