Freedom's the source of the lightning sparks when you're dancing

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

Freakin' out in (on) the sun

This is time on (on) the run

This is life that tear me down

This is life this Sunday kite

That's life with anything,

Girl just start pretending

You're the stuff

You're the mind

Just get on down

Stop the time

This Saturday night

Appetite

This is what you can be

Somethin' like

Dynomite

This is what you can be

Do it right

Escalate

This is what, like candy

Oh, you're so good

You're so good

You're so good

You're so...

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

Just show me you're love

Just show me you're love

Hey, just show me you're love

Just show me you're love

Spotlight

Blue suede shoes

Give a fuck

Attitudes

Hot night

What to do

Run down mansion

Laural canyon

Kill your time

Genocide it

Warpin' space

Back to grace

Hey, take your place

Do the movement

You'll kiss bliss

When you are ruin

Connecting things

Connecting bings

Unified front

Expanding sun

Toasted

Before you know it

Let go

That soul you're holdin'

Pressure builds

Now you're exploding

Flashin' light

Bliss tonight

Pressure builds

Now you're exploding

Out your mind

Out of sight

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

Just show me you're love

Just show me you're love

Hey, just show me you're love

Just show me you're love

Freedom's the source of the lightning sparks when you're dancing

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

Freedom's the source of the lightning sparks when you're dancing

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

Just show me you're love

Just show me you're love

Hey, just show me you're love

Just show me you're love

La-da-dee-down

Freedom's the shine, let it peal your mind when you're dancing

La-da-dee-down

    the grammatical choice is interesting, because it sounds the same, but the lyrics would change meaning depending on if it is

    just show me you're love or just show me your love

    HMMM

    hehe

    I don't even think he's saying "your." It just sounds like, just show me love.

    So few comments. Weird.

    No, there's definitely another syllable in there between "me" and "love." And Luxamnesiac makes a good point.

    I think the song is a plea for a friend (I see the friend as a girl) to let go and dance. To dance so freely that lightning sparks from you and your body shines. "Just show me your love" seems to hint that a boy is asking a girl to dance with him, and there's something intimate about it. And that very long, catchy verse ("Spotlight, blue suede shoes...") sounds like a description of their night out dancing.

    It's all about the DANCE! Gotta love it.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
