Although my lover lives
In a place that I can't live
I kinda find I like a life this lonely

It rips and pierces me
In places I can't see
I love the rip of nerves the rip that wakes me

So I'm dissatisfied
I love dissatisfy
I love to feel there's always more that I need

So come on home
So come on home
So come on home, home

You're where you want to be
I'm where I want to be
Come on we're chasing everything we've ever wanted

Replace you easily
Replace pathetically
I flirt with every flirty thing that falls my way

But how I needed you
When I needed you
Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

Come on home
So come on home
So come on home, home

Blue light falls upon your perfect skin
Falls and you draw back again
Falls and this is how I felt
And I cannot forget
And I cannot forget

Come on home
So come on home
But don't forget to leave

    the lyrics seem to be wrong up there. they are actually:

    Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live I kinda find I like a life this lonely It rips and pierces me in places I can't see I love the rip of nerves, the rip that wakes me

    So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied I love to feel there's always more that I need

    So come on home So come on home So come home...

    You're where you want to be, I'm where I want to be Caught up chasing everything I've ever wanted I replace you easily, replace pathetically I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way

    But how I needed you, when I needed you Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

    Come on home So come on home So come home...

    Blue light falls upon your perfect skin Falls, and you draw back again Falls, and this is how I fell And I can not forget this And I can not forget this

    Come on home So come on home But don't forget to leave

    My interpretation of this song is that he has moved away from this girl he loves to "chase everything he's ever wanted" and likes the feeling of being dissatisfied because otherwise the time they spend together when she comes home is not deserved. the last line telling her not to forget to leave is because he enjoys being dissatisfied, and wants to earn her back by missing her. i think he likes to think he can replace her easily, but that the next line after this says "replace pathetically" suggests any replacement he might find is not as good as her, so he continues to ask her to "come on home"

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.

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.
