Dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her shoes
(Let the shore’s tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
I’m weary, I’m not quite rested yet
This could be obvious to you
(Let the shore’s tide take you in, let the shore tide in)

In this shore’s tide, we’ve been treading air…

I’ve been trying to reach you, but my extension cord wouldn’t reach that far
Now you've lost your chance
I’ve been patiently waiting, the indicator light is flashing on
Now you've lost your chance

Yea! Dear sleeper you could've had the better bed
I loved to watch the way you grew
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
In this short time we've been treading air

In this shore’s tide, we’ve been treading air…

I’ve been trying to reach you, but your extension cord doesn’t reach that far
(Doesn’t reach that far, reach that far)
I’ve been patiently waiting, the indicator light is flashing on
It’s flashing on, flashing on…

In this coma, sleepless dancing
We’ve been treading air

I’ve been trying to reach you, but your extension cord wouldn’t reach that far
(Doesn’t reach that far, reach that far)
I’ve been desperately waiting, the indicator light is flashing on
It’s flashing on, flashing on…

I’ve been trying to reach you, but your extension cord wouldn’t reach that far
(Wouldn’t reach that far, reach that far)

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
