When I stare in your eyes
You'll be there forever
To watch our life (to watch our life together)
You just like going to Heaven (my heart)
Oh, your vanity
I'm fallin', and I'm drownin'
But you're takin' me

One thousand on my feet
Stacks spreaded on my seat
Ten thousand on my eyes

Rollie Pollie on my wrist
Gotta make a flight, big day, slummin' on FaceTime
Fifty K, wonderin' why I'm stormin' off, no race
Emboldened by the bliss
I was sworn in by a kiss
Late from the country cadence
No peacemaker, I sweep up cases
Goin' on a walk with a new suit armor
New suit dead, Bottega, that's on it
Give me the heat from the sleep, then I harm her
Cupid creep in, sleep with a hammer
Three time to get me T-T-T'd
Still same phone, AT&T
Still givin' news very vividly
Beefin' up, fuck a beef
Smokin' on some vicious type of reefer (huh)
I need no beef, no cheese (yeah)
Even when I eat, they cheat (uh)
Every time we meet, naïve

When I stare in your eyes
Still be there forever
To watch our life (to watch out life together)
You just like going to Heav- (my heart)

One thousand on my feet
Stacks spreaded on my seat
Ten thousand on my eyes (eyes)

Yeah, it's mad how it gets so deep
It's mad how I gets so hot
It's mad how you get me by (by)

It's me, it's me, it's me, it's-

Look in my eyes, tell me a tale
Do you see the road, a map to my soul?
Look, tell me the signs whenever the smoke clear out of my face
Am I picture-perfect, or do I look fried?
All of that green and yellow, that drip from your eyes is tellin'
Tell you demise, I went to my side
To push back the ceilin', and push back the feelings, I had to decide
I replay them nights
And right by my side all I see is a sea of people that ride with me
If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child
The things I created became the most weighted
I gotta find balance and keep me inspired
Yeah, yeah
That shit wild, instead I'm a hero
I took it from zero, LaFlame Usain
I run it from miles, this shit wasn't luck
They got me fucked up, I put you on bust and take you around
A couple of guys inside of that school, I gave 'em the tools to get it off ground
They say they the ones when they make the errors
Can't look in the mirror, that shit wild
I stand on the stage, I give 'em the rage
No turnin' it down, can't tame it, can't follow it
We do it in streets, we do it for keeps
We do it for rights, got fifty-two weeks
This shit ain't for pleasure, I'm comin' to tweak
This shit is forever and infinity
Number eight, yeah, we write it and wrap it around
I take me beat and I turn into a beast
Bought the crib on a hill, made it harder to reach
Bought a couple more whips 'cause I needed more speed
Bought a couple more watches, I needed more time
Didn't buy the condo, it was smarter to lease
And I bought some more ice 'cause I brought in the heat
Made a cast of my dick, so she never gon' cheat
If I gave you a day in my life or a day in my eyes, don't blink

    Im pretty sure this is about the lead singer's child. It's about how he and his wife could see him grow in the uterus "We can see, what you'll be, you can't disguise"

    and how he will see tears in his father's eyes when he is born "Pretty soon you will see the tears in my eyes"

    this is the sweetest lyric on earth!

    yeah definetely for his growing child.

    love when it says shame about the weather, cause its always raining there where he lives, and he thinks his child deserves sun and rainbows.

    I don't think when he says, "Shame about the weather," that he's merely talking about the rain in the UK. I think he means it metaphorically to refer to the state of the world-- politics, environment, etc. As if to say, "Welcome to the world. Sorry we've messed it up so much, but we're glad you're here."

    to restless hearts: "It's a sin, it's a sin, where birds of a feather, are welcome to, land on you". I think hes trying to interpret that his child shares his personal traits/genetics. Its a sin because he might not want his child to share and deal with the same hardships and struggles that he went through that might have been self-distructive from his own personality and so on.

    Why does he sing 'it's a sin' though?

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,

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/

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.
