Wasted

The Donnas

I can't sleep, can't even breathe
You're a devious distraction
When you put your hands on me
You start a chemical reaction

Can't think straight, can't count to two
All the risks that we've been taking
I don't know what it is about you
But you always leave me shaking
Yes, I'm a train wreck in the making

So strung out, but it's not so bad
You're the fix I never had

The first time I saw your face
I got wasted on your love
I'm a total wreck, I'm a basket case
I'm a user, you're my drug

I can't seem to stop myself
When it comes to indiscretion
I left my conscience somewhere else
Another public make out session
It's a late night confession

Can't wake up and I can't come down
I want it bad, I want it now

The first time I saw your face
I got wasted on your love
I'm a total wreck, I'm a basket case
I'm a user, you're my drug
I'm wasted on your love

I'm already gone
I'm barely hanging on
I'm passed out on your lawn
All the damage that you've done
You're returning me into a fiend

The first time I saw your face
The first time I saw your face

The first time I saw your face
I got wasted on your love
I'm a total wreck, I'm a basket case
I'm a user, you're my drug

The first time I saw your face
I'm wasted on your love
The first time I saw your face
I'm wasted on your love

I'm a total wreck, I'm a basket case
I'm wasted, wasted on your love
The first time I saw your face
I'm wasted, wasted on your love
Wasted on your love

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,

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.

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.
