One Day

The Juan Maclean

You've denied me baby
The satisfaction of your love
So I've been walking home alone
Cause you left me out in the cold
He left you out now I'll take you home

I'll be here after midnight wearing my delinquent frown
But you know it won't be long before I have to put your picture down
Just take it down you gave her up

I cant hear you baby
When you tell me you don't want me now
So I'll be hanging by the phone
Though I know you'll never make the call
Don't make that call he'll put you down

Call me in the daylight speaking of a future plan
But when you make demands
I know that I could never be your man
They're not demands they're just the plans

One day baby you'll realize that I know
One day baby you'll realize that I know
One day baby you'll realize that
I know I know I know I know I know

Before I knew you baby
I could have guessed that you'd be this way
But it wouldn't stop my love
Now I'm in a familiar place
He lost the scene there's something wrong

Feeling without recosts
Wish I could undo the time
I was walking home alone
So dejected by my own design
Haey

If its not over baby
For me boy this is just the start
I still got all my love to give
Enough love to fill your empty heart
He emptied it now fill it up

Caring without pretense
A picnic on the hillside
Clothes of many colors lying on the bedside
Tokens of a lifetime memories I wanted wanted wanted
Haey

Hear if you try
I'll tell you what you want to hear if you try
I'll tell you what you want to hear if you try
I'll tell you what you wanna wanna wanna wanna

Hear if you try
I'll tell you what you wanna hear if you try
I'll tell you what you wanna hear if you try
I'll tell you what you wanna wanna wannawanna

One day baby you'll realize that I know
One Day baby you'll realize that I know
One day baby you'll realize that I know
One day baby you'll realize that I know I know I know
One day baby you'll realize that I know
One day baby you'll realize that I know
One day baby you'll realize that I know I know I know

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
