The night is getting darker
Soon the stars
Will be falling down to rescue us
Sing a song for me
Lift me higher with your words
Sing that cold melody

Now follow me
Onto the moonlit sidewalk
And take my hand
Grip it tighter
Don't let it go

Passion's taking over skies
Leaving sand behind for them to choke on
They'll try to speak negatively about us
But they can't say another word
They'll realize jealousy
Has taken over their minds
Trying to break us down
But what they don't know
Is it only makes us stronger

Did you feel that breeze?
A tide of chills swept over me
It must of been
From the brush of your hand
Pull me into your arms
A little closer, baby
I wanna see you standing next to me

So take a walk with me
But keep the pace down
I don't want this night to end
Can't we run away together?

Passion's taking over skies
Leaving sand behind for them to choke on
They'll try to speak negatively about us
But they can't say another word
They'll realize jealousy
Has taken over their minds
Trying to break us down
But what they don't know
Is it only makes us stronger

Passion's taking over skies
leaving sand behind in the wind
For them to choke on
They'll try to speak negatively about us
But they can't say another word
They'll realize jealousy
Has taken over their minds
Trying to break us down
But what they don't know
Is it only makes us stronger

The night is getting darker
And soon the stars
Will be falling down to rescue us

    I hate when people say things like, "She shouldn't be on Disney, she's too good." Or "I didn't think that someone from Disney could write deep lyrics like these." Just because they started out in Disney or are on Disney, doesn't mean they're stupid or they suck! They're people like everyone else, Disney does not hold people back, they're holding themselves back!

    My favorite song by Demi! It sort of just reminds me of two people who have a close relationship & are possibly dating. They're just spending time together & cherishing the time they have together at that moment.

    Now that I listened to the song more.. I understand the lyrics better.

    I think it's more about a couple that are close or are dating and people don't approve of their relationship and they do a lot of talking behind their backs, but the couple ignores them because they just don't care.

    The night is getting darker (the pain fo their words is getting worse) Soon the stars will be falling down to rescue us, (soon hope will come within their dark time) Sing a song for me, (comfort me) Lift me higher with your words, (show me why were together so i wont feel so bad about what they say) Sing that cold melody. (relate with me the pain of the situation)

    So follow me Onto the moonlit sidewalk And take my hand Grip it tighter, don't let it go

    Passions taking over skies (their loev over rides their words/meanness) Leaving sand behind for them to choke on (the space they left ..they cant say anythign if they arent there) And they'll try to speak Negatively about us, But they can't say another word (they are their for them to hear it) But they'll realize, Jealousy has taken over their minds And the words they try to break me down When they only make us stronger

    Did you feel that breeze? A tide of chills just swept over me (she was thinking about their words/ the pain) It must of been from the brush of your hand (his loving ations comfort her and convince her its ok) Pull me into your arms A little closer, baby I wanna see you standing Next to me

    So take a walk with me, But keep the pace down I don't want this night to end (the darkness, the love within the darkness) Can't we run away together? (cant we be free with day and night)

    Passions taking over skies Leaving sand behind for them to choke on And they'll try to speak Negatively about us, But they can't say another word

    Passions taking over skies Leaving sand behind for them to choke on And they'll try to speak Negatively about us, But they can't say another word But they'll realize, Jealousy has taken over their minds And the words they try to break me down When they only make us stronger

    The night is getting darker And soon the stars will be falling down to rescue us

    i actually at first thought it was about how people are jealous about her rise to fame and friends who are ditching her and so on.

    But i understand the whole "relationship" thing.

    Lover this song <3

    this song is so beautiful. in my opinion this song is about two people inlove. and they dont care what other people think about their relationship. they love each other despite of what other people think. and all those negative things that people say about their relationship only makes them stronger. this song is amazing.

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.

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
