Broken glass and red lights flash I can
(If sunrise sunrise is your muse than I can)
See the city burning for miles
Run back for all you can
(If secrets secrets never change)
Then I’m easy to replace
So come on baby its okay to
(I’ll be the last thing on your mind)
Say the words you’re dying to say
I’m clocking out for this one
(I’m falling falling faster than you’ll ever run)
And I’ll promise to show you the way

So call me on all my lies
Feed me on resignation
Its all a game till you break a heart
Then it’s a battle station

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

So choose the place (I’ll choose the time)
And pretty soon (You’ll realize)
This trace of lipstick down his back (down his back)
Is all we had
Over and over we lie (so here we lie)
Swimmin in sheets of white (bedsheets of white)
One day in this sea you’ll be drowning with me

So call me on all my lies
Feed me on resignation
Its all a game till the teardrops fall
Then it’s a battle station

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

I know you thought that I was perfect
But im not sure now that I am worth it
WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL
I’LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR CALL
To set me free AGAIN

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

My tongue is still guilty if theres
One thing about me that still changes you
My empty streets still prove
That you’ll NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this time

NEVER second guess me
Never stop to undress me
With your eyes
We might win this 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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
