I opened up your letter
When things were looking good
You said goodbye in glitter
I guess I knew you would

Be the kind with hearts on her I's
You're the junior prom queen in disguise
You can go, now that I know
That I will be OK alone

I took you out to dinner
Romance and candlelight
Two pills and bottled water
Suppress your appetite

It's the way your telephones ring
When I'm sharing an epiphany
You should go, now that I know
That I will be OK alone

You made me feel
Like I was someone
You loved for real
But now I find that you're
Handing out your
Candy valentines
All over town
What a sweet letdown

You made me feel
Like I was someone
You loved for real
But now I find that you're
Handing out your
Candy valentines
All over town
A repeat letdown

So I tore up your letter
I lit a cigarette
No reason to remember
So easy to forget

All the times you straightened my hair
Now I stay home watching Millionaire
All day, I think I can say
That I will be OK alone

You made me feel
Like I was someone
You loved for real
But now I find that you're
Handing out your
Candy valentines
All over town
Well, I will be OK alone

    The lyrics are pretty blunt, but the tune is fun. It's a great song to sing along to.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
