Holding you
Couldn't be alone
Loving you
Couldn't be alone
Kissing you

Holding you
Couldn't be alone
Loving you
Couldn't be alone
Kissing you
Tell me how can you, tell me I belong, tell me I belong

Its not why I trust you, not why I trust you, not why I trust you
Not why I trust you
It's not why I trust you, not why I trust you, not why I trust you
Not why I trust you

Tell me, how can you
Holding you
Couldn't be alone
Loving you
Couldn't be alone
Kissing you
Tell me how can you, tell me I belong, tell me I belong

    Listen,

    I think the whole point behind skewing the tones and pitches of the lyrics from ray-j's One Wish, was to create a lyrical Ambiguity so that one takes it how one wishes.

    I feel that most accurately, the song promotes a more tender and sad subject of break ups in relationships.

    If it were meant to be seen as "good at being alone" one could see it from the perspective of the speaker saying 'It never works out for me, its like I'm good at being anti-social or having relationships not work out'

    From the other side of things, "couldn't be alone" makes everything seem like the speaker is saying something like, 'baby I can't live without you, don't break up with me.'

    Furthermore, I personally don't hear, "Its not why i trust you" but rather "He better trust you" as if the significant other in the relationship is leaving him for someone else. "He better trust you" in this case is synonymous to 'he better treat you well' sort of a bitter 'I hope you're happy!' kind of thing.

    But that's just my opinion.

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.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
