That Hump

Erykah Badu

If I could get over that hump! (mmm)
Then maybe I will feel better
Maybe I won't fall!
If I could get over that hump! (mmm)
Then maybe I will

Oh Lord knows I'm
Lord knows I'm trying
Said I'm tired (of this shit)
This dope
But it make it better
But it's dragging me lower
Hey and I know it's just (oh)
Lord knows
But If I (could get over that hump!) baby
Then maybe I will feel better
Maybe I won't fall (I won't)
If I could get over that hump!
Then maybe I will

Oh I just, I just want to fly far away (far away)
Oh I'm living check to check
I'm just trying to pay my rent
And I can feel it
Coming down around me and these children
A boy, a little girl and
She so pretty
Oh feel me
We just need a little house
Come with God with a spouse, this building, building oh
My brother's sleeping on my floor
A bitch could us a little more yeaow
Then maybe I will feel better
Maybe I won't fall (If I oh)
If I could get over

Since
We are lying here
Know I want, I want, I want you boo, to know
I ain't never done dope to cause
Only a smoked a joint or two
A toke me and you, boy
I know they both been through it
Day and night, night and day
Day and night and day and night
But I can't judge nobody
'Cause what if it was you
What if it was you
Bring it back girl
What if it was you
You

Oh Lord knows I'm
Lord knows I'm trying
Oh said I'm tired yea oh
This dope
Tired of this dope
Without his dope
Tired of this dope
Hmm, without

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
