10x10, 3x3
Was the house that buried me
Did I really drown?

Ten lines leading to the seashore
Water's going to lead the dogs my way
Ten wives tearing up my leisure
Pressing little mouths going to talk my way
Going to talk my way

Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Stolen my wife
Stolen my knife
Gonna take her into my life
Into my life

Three nails pounded in the front door
Start a few fires and end my stay
Well, even the urges in the back porch
Pressing little mouths going to talk my way
Going to talk my way

Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Stolen my wife
Stolen my knife
Going to get her into, into my life
Into my life
Into my life

10x10, 3x3
Was the house that buried me
10x10, 3x3
Was the house that buried me
Did I really drown?

Ten lines leading to the seashore
Water's going to lead the dogs my way
Ten wives tearing up my leisure
Start a few fires and end my stay

Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Stolen my wife
Stolen my knife
Going to take her into, into my life
Into my life

    I think it's about Karen imagining her death. She sees it as moving into a new home. Her home is 10 ft long and 3 ft high... a casket. (afterall, her home buried her) Three nails pounding in the front door.

    It makes sense to me

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”
