Hello?
I know how your mind works.
I know what you're doing okay.
I am so sick of waiting for you
You've got 5 seconds and I'm hanging up.

Well everybody talks
But nobody understands
And everybody takes
Just as much as they can

But at the top of the stairs
There's a room with a key
'Cause I've got a secret inside of me

'Cause everybody's lost
And nobody's found
The path we should walk
Across this treacherous ground

But I go where I like
And I do what I please
'Cause I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away

And everybody comes
And everybody goes
When your number comes up nobody ever really knows

My eyes are wide open
And my conscience is clean
'Cause I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away

Seems like everything I do
Everything I play
Everything I try every single day
Always seems to come out backwards for me

Meanwhile
Everybody laughs,
Everybody lies
Everybody lives
Everybody tries just to make it feel like another day

If everybody shut up
Maybe I could hear myself scream
'Cause I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away

Seems like everything I do
Everything I play
Everything I try every single day
Always seems to come out backwards for me

Meanwhile
Everybody laughs,
Everybody lies
Everybody lives
Everybody tries just to get through another day
And everybody cooks
And everybody bleeds
And everyone dies
When no body sees
But I'm never gonna give up
I'm never giving in to your whim
Because I got a secret inside of me
And I'm gonna lock it away
Yeah I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away

Hello...
Please would you just pick up the phone
What the hell is wrong with you?
Well is this what you wanted?
Well congratulations
You're such a child.
Goodbye.

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”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
