Staying Out For The Summer

Dodgy

I'm staying out for the summer
Playing games in the rain
The hills and the fortune
Got me fooled again

You see I work in a factory (I need the money)
I don't want to be late (Though I hate this place)
I got my debts to pay for (Free me from this race)
They're going to have to wait

If I ever see you again
I will tell you why (Tell you why)
I was low and insecure
I didn't want to make you cry

Well my good's turned bad
And it's just my luck that
You're not on my side
So what happens now? Where did you go?
With these feelings I hide?

Staying out for the summer!

I've had enough lining
Pockets I've never met
They've got me working all hours
I ain't gained nothing yet

If I ever see you again
I will tell you why (Tell you why)
I was low and insecure (If I ever see you cry)
I didn't want to make you cry

Well my good's turned bad
And it's just my luck that
You're not on my side
So what happens now? Where did you go?
With these feelings I write?

I'm staying out for the summer
Playing games in the rain
The hills and the fortune
Won't be the same again

I'm staying out for the summer
I'm staying out for the summer
I'm staying out for the summer

    here another dodgy fan :) I think this song is about a guy who has a summer love from past year(s), but doesn't have the money to see her the next year.

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”

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
