Loud screams, fighting words
Awful things were said,
You might not be able to take back
She puts her hands on his face
And tells him
Get out, get out
Just leave, she pleads
He can't believe what he's done
As he's walking down the street
The night keeps warning him to turn around

underneath the night sky
Take flight
Underneath the night sky
She cries
Underneath the night sky
One last time
You know where I'm going
Oh underneath the night sky
Remembering the reasons why
Underneath the night sky
I'll fall for you tonight again

on his way to familiar arms
Someone who will know him
The girl who understands
Stops dead in his tracks to see
It's too much too give up
Not too late for apologies
Turns down the wrong street
Give me all your money
Should know better than to be here alone
Tries to run, doesn't feel like a fight
She could hear the shots ring out from home

underneath the night sky
Take flight
Underneath the night sky
She cries
Underneath the night sky
One last time
You know where I'm going
Oh underneath the night sky
Remembering the reasons why
Underneath the night sky
I'll fall for you tonight again

(don't forget to hold her tight
Everything can change so fast)

underneath the night sky
Take flight
Underneath the night sky
She cries
Underneath the night sky
One last time
You know where I'm going
Oh underneath the night sky
Remembering the reasons why
Underneath the night sky
I'll fall for you tonight again

don't forget to hold her tight
Everything can change so fast
No no no
Don't forget to hold her tight
Everything can change so fast

    Ok I thought this song was self explanatory but I guess not. I think it means these two got into a fight because he cheated on his girlfriend (he can't believe what he's done)...she tells him to get out and he decides to go to the other girl's...but then he stops in his tracks and realizes what he has with his girlfriend is too much to lose and he it's not to late to go back and fix things...after this realization is when the mugger comes and ulimately shoots him. The girlfriend can hear the shots and goes to him, hence underneath the night sky she cries.

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
