On a blue antique night
In early October
His wavy brown hair
Stuck wet to his shoulder

And its click, click, click
Go the heels of his feet
Listen
How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited

The milk's in a pile by the door
Her series is playing on terrestrial T.V. the neighbours they don't even know
And its click, click, click
Go the heels of his feet

Listen
Did you hang her out to dry?
The meal that she was going to eat for her dinner
Is left on a plate by the stove

While there's unopened bills and letters and junk mail
All strewn on the mat by the door
And its click, click click
Go the heels of his feet

Listen
Did you hang her out to dry?
Rama lama lama
Shake, shake, shake, shake

How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited
The papers are filling the close
While she's face down on porcelain
An inchful of bathwater

The neighbours they don't even know or care
And its drip, drip, drip
Goes the tap on her ankles
Listen

Did you hang her out to dry?
Rama lama lama
Shake, shake, shake, shake

    This is more like it. Some good old-fashioned foot-stomping Scottish indie rock. Great.

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”
