Someone Else's Arms

Mae

Two days and I've not slept a wink
These thoughts that I've been thinking
This is the mark I aim to miss (again)

You toss and turn
I lie awake
Who knows what I've been drinking
Another cheap meaningless kiss (to give)

From the beginning
Dove down and lost with all his charm
Just wanna wake up
Wake up in someone's

I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up

Six days and I can see the same
Brown eyes in this reflection
Is this the man you say I’ll be (become)

You toss and turn
I lie awake
Into the sand were sinking
Holding us back from breathing free (undone)

From the beginning
Dove down and lost all his charm
Just wanna wake up
Wake up in someone's

I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up

I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up

More than words
Keep to yourself
Like a curse
Fares thee well

One-man game
One truth to tell
All this blame
Hammers your way to hell

I've got a feeling
It's not the safest place to start
This heavy breathing
It seems we’re better off breaking hearts

And from the beginning
Dove down and lost all his charm
Just wanna wake up
Wake up in someone's

I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up

I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up

I just wanna wake up
In someone else's arms

    There are three lines in which ADimeADexter wrote:

    "Dove down and lost all his charm"

    The correct line all three times is:

    "Dove down and lost WITH all his charm"

    This really changes up the meaning of the line when you read it as he didn't lose his charm, but lost with his charm still intact; it just wasn't good enough.

    Also on line 16 ADimeADexter wrote:

    "Is the man you say I’ll be?"

    The Correct line is:

    "Is THIS the man you say I'll be?"

    ...everytime I hear this song and the line comes to:

    "All this blame, hammers your way to hell"

    I swear it sounds like "hamburgers way to hell" ...mmm hamburgers, in someone elses arms, I could go for that.

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.

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.
