Close your eyes, make a wish
This could last forever
If only you could stay with me now
So tell me what it is, that keeps us from each other now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin

No, I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't want to know the reason why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cause I miss you

Take my hand, take my life
Just don't take forever
And let me feel your pain kept inside (ohh yeah)
There's gotta be a way, you and I together now
Yeah it's comin' to get me
You're under my skin

No, I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't want to know the reason why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cause I miss you

It's an illusion, how can I feel this way?
(If I can't have you)
It's an illusion, nothing is real this way
(If I can't have you)

No, I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't want to know the reason why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cause I miss you

I can't let you go, no
And I don't want to know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this (no no)
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss (I miss you) you

    About a relationship, which uncontrollable forces is separating, the only way they can stay together is through each others thoughts and memories

    “Close your eyes, make a wish This could last forever If only you could stay with me”

    Seen partially through the eyes of one half of the relationship, they try to plea with the other to stay, in denial of the situation, unable to hear reason

    “And I don't wanna know the reason why I can't stay forever like this”

    It's about someone who's in love with a girl, and eventhough they cant be together right now because of whatever reason. It seems like the girl feels SOMETHING back because the guy says "tell me what it is that keeps us from each other now" meaning they COULDD be together just because of feelings alone. Hm and then how the guy goes "close your eyes, make a wish, this could last forever" meaning...i guess it could mean various things but to me it means that "this" process of courting and stuff could take forever so make a decision kind of thing. i think its true beacause later the guy goes "but dont take forever" to decide kind of thing cuz he has his life too. it could also mean, "if you make the wish to stay together, we could last forever" kind of thing. but i think its more of the first one than the latter...if you look at the whole song.

    Anyway...i think basically its about a guy that loves a girl that likes him back but doesnt know to be together or not right now. and the guy is basically saying he loves her...and its kinda like a sweet song because hes saying eventhough he knows she's unsure, he likes being entrapped inside her beauty. "No i cant let you go now. You're a part of me now. Caught by the taste of your kiss...and i dont wanna know the reason why i cant stay forever like this." He doesnt want to know why he cant stay "caught" forever...because eventhough he knows he'll need to move on later, he's willing to stay in that feeling of missing and loving the girl whos not withi him right now. Like you know that feeling when you love someone and you dont know if they'll love you back, but you're still willing to let yourself love them kinda thing? its the beauty of agony. and i feel like that's what embellished here in the song...so beautiful :)

    lmao wait this is the more grammatically correct version:

    It's about someone who's in love with a girl. Even though they aren’t together right now he still feels for her and loves her with all his heart. The girl here, has feelings for him too as the guy says, "tell me what it is that keeps us from each other now" meaning they could be together because of feelings alone. But there’s something inside her keeping her from deciding to love him back because later the guy says, “take my hand, take my life, just don’t take forever. And let feel me your pain inside. There’s got to be a way you and I together now” meaning he wants to know the trouble inside of her which keeps her from being together with him; he wants her to let him in. Hm and then how the guy goes "close your eyes, make a wish, this could last forever" meaning...i guess it could mean various things but to me it means that "this" process of courting and stuff could take forever so please make a decision sort of thing. He’s not rushing her though because he soothes her by saying that she can “take his hand” and “take his life.” I think its true because later he says, "but dont take forever" (to decide). But “close your eyes, make a wish; this could last forever” could also mean, "if you make the wish to stay together, we could last forever" kind of thing. but i think its more of the first one than the latter...if you look at the whole song.

    Anyway...i think basically its about a guy who loves a girl who also likes him back but doesn’t know to be together or not right now. and the guy is basically saying he loves her...and its kinda like a sweet song because hes saying even though he knows she's unsure, he lets himself get consumed by her loveliness. "No i cant let you go now. You're a part of me now. Caught by the taste of your kiss...and i dont wanna know the reason why i cant stay forever like this." He doesn’t want to know why he cant stay "caught" forever...because even though he knows he'll need to move on later, he's willing to stay in that feeling of missing and loving the girl eventhough she’s not with him now. Like you know that feeling when you love someone and you dont know if they'll love you back, but you're still willing to let yourself love them kinda thing? its the beauty of agony. and i feel like that's what embellished here in the song...so beautiful :)

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
