You grew up
chasing your tail
round and round
you used to dizzy yourself

I look up
when did it start
you used to be
my sweet black angel

You turned back
back into yourself
Splints on flints
resetting themselves

In arms and cars
In armored cars
You felt the shelter
of your own arms

Tumbling glass
sat on the edge of edge
I was scratching the skin that
fell on my bed

I shook up
alive with myself
I felt alive, alive, alive

Tumbling glass
sat on the edge of edge
I was scratching the skin
that fell on my bed

I shook up
alive with myself
I felt a life, a life, a life

I have come in search of life
I have loves in dead of night
I have come in search of life
I have loves in dead of night

I walked fourteen miles
with nothing in sight
Just to deliver a note
from your old man

He says he's looking into
it but he's sure you'll be alright
It just takes more time then
we thought but it is fine

Here's to the ghosts
Who are blinded by light
How soon does it start
Whenever you'd like

Here's to the ghosts
Who are blinded by light
How soon does it start
Whenever you'd like

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”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
