save me from monotony
the world's a big monopoly
hide me in the city lights
take me out on city nights

save me from this blood i see
if you are in then let me be
i hear the concrete calling me
just show me life and i'll agree

i hear the footsteps just behind
i hear the footsteps in my mind
i need a world so i can't be seen
i need a world that's so unclean

and i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies
i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies

take me to an underground
with the lights off so i can't be found
i think now i begin to see what god's got in store for me
find me in the city slums
beat on me like money drums
show me how to live in here
show me love
don't show me fear

and i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies
i will be the thing that creeps
in the city that never sleeps
i will be the thing that lies
city light that never dies

break me down
and build me up
steal the bread right from my cup
and only once
and only twice
i look into those city lights

into the light show

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”

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.

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.
