Check yes Juliet
Are you with me?
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside

Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back for us tonight

Lace up your shoes
Eh oh eh oh
Here's how we do

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run
Forever we'll be
You and me

Check yes Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing, wanting
Yours for the taking
Just sneak out
And don't tell a soul goodbye
Check yes Juliet
Here's the countdown
Three, two, one, now fall in my arms
Now they can change the locks
Don't let them change your mind

Lace up your shoes
Eh oh eh oh
Here's how we do

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run
Forever we'll be
You and me

We're flying through the night
We're flying through the night
Way up high,
The view from here is getting better with
You by my side

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run
Forever we'll be
You and me

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back.
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance.
Don't sell your heart.
Don't say we're not meant to be.
Run, baby, run.
Forever we'll be
You and me.

You and me
You and me

    very catchy. its about 2 lovers escaping from all the pressure because everyone wants them to be apart. its like a modern day romeo and juliet, but in song.

    very good.

    yes, this is like the play romeo and juliet. only the two people in love are running away in the middle of the night. the girl "juliet" isn't so sure about going away, so the guy is telling her that "they can change the locks, don't let them change your mind". smart, huh?

    i totally agree with welcome2hell69. it's definitely about a us-against-the-world kind of story, but the girl is a bit undecided still, and here is our dear romeo, convincing it that they'll make it somehow. it is somewhat clever..

    this song is fer sure about romeo and juliet if you read the book juliet is like "ohhh maybe we shouldnt be talking" and romeo is like running through life. romeo was desperate for juliets love so he stands out her window. the people who tear them apart is their families, capulets and montagues, who have been in a feud for awhile and dislike each other strongly. skeeking out is when romeo and juliet got married, they had to do it in secrecy. ya so definitley bout romeo and juliet. its a really amazing song end of discussion.

    "kill the limbo" means that she's stuck between going with him and staying, and she can't make up her mind about it, so he's telling her to "kill the limbo" and choose him. at least that was my interpretation.

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
