Red hand print on the white of your cheek
Pack your bags quiet while the lion sleeps
Watch you mother put her name to the line
Next to the place where your father signed
And inevitably what you used to be
Will succumb to the pull of gravity
And you'll never know, you will never see
With virgin eyes again

'Cause this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
And you know in time, you'll wake to find you're
A little unbroken

Hold the answer to the light, see your future
Two line blue line tragedy
He brings the metal to the fire for the first time T
Ells you it's the last time and it will be
Cause inevitably what you used to be
Will be tainted by the hand of curiosity
And you'll never know, you will never see
With virgin eyes again

'Cause this is the day that everything
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
And you know in time, you'll wake to find you're
A little unbroken

So how can I explain?
The isolated rain the follows you
Wouldn't you agree running always slows you down
So welcome the pain
Stop yourself from delaying it
Because the real life
Will never go away

'Cause this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
And you know in time, you'll wake to find you're
A little unbroken

A little unbroken
Oh, a little unbroken
Oh, a little unbroken
Oh, a little unbroken

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
