Down the street half a block away
In a familiar place,
Regular people agree with each other in smoke signals

Down the street half a block away in a familiar place
Where regular people all agree with each other

Interprets the law as aging
With its eyesight failing, the law is aging

Oh, sitting across, telling stories,
So sit across the table, our eyes unclose like books we've read twice

So cry ghost baby
So on the shelves lined with spines
Dust collects from scattered ash
From an urn unturned
Spilling over someone regular.

And all the such regulars
Cry ghost or boast of a friend of a friend
Who saw a strange sight,
Or heard a strange sound.

Now whisper tall tales of murder


Down the street, half a block away
In a familiar place, with regular people

Agree with each other in smoke signals
Brought together to burn the that brings them together

Interpret the law as aging with its eyesight failing x2

Somebody's little girl
Dreams of the things she's read

Somebody, somebody's little girl
Dreams of the things she's read
And the monsters in her bed who hacked her
into blood-meat.

Somebody's little girl
Dreams of the things she read
While the monsters in her bed who hacked her
into blood-meat.

    Im not exactly sure what the theme of this song is about, but after reading over it, it might be about the ages of history becoming blurry. People begin to hear many different accounts of history, therefore a big rumour is started. Many historical accounts we hear are often mixed in with lies. This also plays a role into today's culture; Many lies are spread by the media in order to cover up the true details of the story.

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”

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
