Something in the way that I
Or the way.....?
Something in the shape and sound of your way

Will I fall to decide or will I grow to the meaning here
Or will I keep open eyes
I can still feel the beating of...us

'Cause I keep searching and all I ever find is a way things could be
Don't stay
'Cause I leave burns here for the mind

Something in the way that I
Or the way.....?
Something in the shape and sound of the way....

Somehow emotion feels stronger than I've felt for so long
I've grown here in this moment
I feel closer than I've felt for so long why?

So I keep searching and all I ever find is a way things could be
Don't stay
'Cause I leave burns here when all I ever find is a way things should be
Don't stay
For I get burnt here when
All I ever find is a moment of a word
The colder I become
Because I'm holding on inside

And I don't feel you there
Out there
I see you there
Out there

Why not come closer?

So we don't fit so we pretend so

So we don't fit so we pretend

    My belief is that a couple has broken up, and chose to remain friends. But because of that, the man wants even more to be a part of her love life. He thinks of all the ways they could have been together. He realizes that if they continue to see each other only as friends, he'll end up hurting himself. So he regrettably end their relationship entirely, with a broken heart and a clear mind.

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.

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.
