I seen you darlin'
Seen you hangin' round town
You in a short skirt
Shinin' eyes of deep brown
You had a dirty look
You caught me on your hook
Turn up the thermostat
I wanna see you sweat

Ah, yeah
Girl you've got something I
Like

I walked right over, said
Hi, how you doin'
You smiled at me
And girl you tore right through me
I said "Come on, let's dance
We've gotta take our chance"
You whispered in my ear
"You wanna get out of here"

Can you feel it
Rockin' the city
Ah, yeah
Straight out of nowhereness
Like a fist
Can't resist you, oh no
I tell you something

You know I love ya
Just wanna touch ya
Stand up
Knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat, hard to beat
Hard to beat

Woo, ah

Let's spend the night
Spend the night together
Heart beatin' so fast
As you take my shirt off
This girl I saw 'round town
Well now she's goin' down
Stuck on a losing streak
I think you've turned it round

Ah, yeah
Girl you've got something I
Like

Read all about it
Have you heard the latest
Boy in a band
Beef Hollywood actress
But baby, you and me
We came up from the street
No time to hesitate
We gotta push our weight

Can you feel it
Rockin' the city
Ah, yeah
Straight out of nowhereness
Like a fist
Can't resist you, oh no
I tell you somethin'
You know I love ya
Just wanna touch ya
Stand up
Knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat, hard to beat
Hard to beat

Goodness
No, I've never known a night like this
Can't believe it
You're so hard to beat
Hard to beat

Drive me crazy
My beautiful baby
Let's spend the whole day
Right here together
You know I love ya
Just wanna touch ya
Stand up
Knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat, hard to beat
Hard to beat

Ah yeah, girl, you've got
Something I like
Ah yeah, girl, you've got
Something I like
Ah yeah, girl, you've got
Something I like

When I'm sitting at home, sitting on the bus
All I ever do is think about us
On and on, I said
Yeah

Ah yeah, girl, you've got
Something I like
Ah yeah, girl, you've got
Something I like

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
