I've never been
I've never been stuck
I've never been stuck in the middle
Stuck in the middle

You treat me right
But so does he
That's the dilemma
In this game of three
One has passion
And one has love
And all I know is
Don't wanna give them up (no no)

The rain of guilt
Now it's pouring down on me
It's flooding in
And I can barely breathe

(chorus)

I can't go
But I can't stay
I'm stuck in the middle
And it's a crazy place
And now I'm that girl
I used to talk about
I'm stuck in the middle
And I can't get out

Stuck (in the middle, in the middle)

I hear two voices
Asking are you true
I'm seeing double
When I kiss you (when I kiss you)
I wanna know what's crazy
About all of this
It might be twisted
But I kinda like it

The rain of guilt
Now it's pouring down on me
It's flooding in
And I can barely breathe

(chorus)

I'm stuck in the
Middle of love
And I'm trying to find my way
I'm not seeing clearly what's in my heart
Now there's a part of me
That says I can't keep holding on
And there's a part of me
That says just have it all

I can't go (I can't go)
But I can't stay (no I can't stay)
I'm stuck in the middle (stuck in the middle)
And it's a crazy place (it's a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy place)
And now I'm that girl (I'm that girl)
I used to talk about (I used to talk about)
I'm stuck in the middle (stuck in the middle)

And I can't get out

And I can't get out
No I can't get out
I'm stuck in the middle
No I can't get out
Can't get out
I'm stuck in the middle
Can't get out
No I can't get out
I'm stuck in the middle
No I can't get out

    Its about being in love with two different guys who are poles apart from each other and trying to decide who is really the true love of your life. Its about feeling scared, excited and wanting everything all in one.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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”
