Well every man needs to get a little sleep
We all need sanctuary from the trouble on the street
Working hard and making money
But I rather be dreaming underneath the shady tree

And it's six in the morning
I've been up all night
Can't stop the wheels a turning
And I'm fearing delight
I'm so spun out but I think I know what we could do
I'm exploding with ideas but I can't call you
(Oh Lord)
I hear people in the tree
I'm going on a mission, unlock my ten-speed
(Oh Lord)
I hear the place is hot and swarming with police
There's a man on the corner with his camera on me

Well I'd do anything to get a little rest
I think a nightmare would be better than this
I think a nightmare would be better than this
There's a house that says "haunted" up the street
The last family that moved in evacuated in a week
That voodoo lady always got to me
But I'm searching for a spirit desperate for company

And it's six in the morning
I've been up all night
And I'm tossing and a turning
And I'm fearing delight
I'm so spun out but I think I know what we should do
I'm exploding with ideas and I can't call you
(Oh Lord)
I hear people in the tree
I got to take the world on a mission with me
(Oh Lord)
I had a close brush with forty-eyed destiny
And I hope that you're looking and you see right through me

Well I'd do anything to get a little rest
I think a nightmare would be better than this
I think a nightmare would be better than this

I think a nightmare would be better than this

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.

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”

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.
