Powered by the eye of harmony
I can travel anywhere in space and time
I'm linked to the Doctor symbiotically
Got his imprint on my briode nebuliser

There used to be 305 of me
But the rest were decommissioned and replaced
Takes 6 pilots to fly me properly
Only happened once at the Medusa Cascade

The last Type 40 in the universe, but there's still so much to see
But I'll be going on adventures as long as there's huon energy
My chameleon circuit hasn't worked since 1963
But the Doctor won't give up on me

My interior's in a state of temporal grace
Though on occasion that gets circumvented
Inside me there's an awful lot of space
Because I'm dimensionally transcendental

I've withstood falling down for miles and miles
Suffered three thousand degree heat without scorching
Hit by the Titanic when I was in mid-flight
Every time he's sure to fix me

The last Type 40 in the universe, but there's still so much to see
But I'll be going on adventures as long as there's huon energy
My chameleon circuit hasn't worked since 1963
But the Doctor won't give up on me

The last Type 40 in the universe, but there's still so much to see
But I'll be going on adventures as long as there's huon energy
My chameleon circuit hasn't worked since 1963
But the Doctor won't give up on me

The last Type 40 in the universe, but there's still so much to see
But I'll be going on adventures as long as there's huon energy
My chameleon circuit hasn't worked since 1963
But the Doctor won't give up on me

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”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
