Tell Me (Demo Version)

Dropping Daylight

Called the race
Tell me it's over now
I cannot stand to look
In the face of my leaders now
I'm burning up tonight
I walk up the stairs
You tell me it's cold outside
I could use some air
Called the race
Tell me it's over now
And it's just not fair
Ooo, why
Is this happening
Now? Why, ooo, why

[Chorus]
Tell me what do you know
About moving forward
Tell me something to say
'Cause I'm screaming, screaming
Give me something to make
Before I burn these bridges
How much more can I hate
Without burning up?

Not giving up till I break down
Not giving up till I break down

I turn off the news
I try to get some rest
Wrap myself in heat
Burning up
Why does it take so long
To get myself to sleep?
Ooo, why
Is this happening
Now? Why, ooo, why (not giving up till I break down)
(Not giving up till I break down)

[Chorus]

Not giving up till I break down
Not giving up till I break down
Not giving up till I break down

Why, ooo, why (not giving up till I break down)
Is this happening? (not giving up till I break down)
Why, ooo, why (not giving up till I break down)
Is this happening? (not giving up till I break down)

[Chorus]

Why, ooo, why (not giving up till I break down)
Is this happening (not giving up till I break down)
Now? Why, ooo, why (not giving up till I break down)
Is this happening (not giving up till I break down)
Now? Why, ooo, why (not giving up till I break down)
Is this happening (not giving up till I break down)
Is this happening (not giving up till I break down)
Now? Why, ooo, why (not giving up till I break down)

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.

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
