Running With the Light

A Skylit Drive

You brought this on my head It's calling me
You sent me to my death I figured out why
You can look into my lies but never
You could never turn back all the clocks to take back what you did to me

Go and find your own way
Hey! Don't turn around
Is there anything left to believe in?
Go and find your own way
Hey! Get out of this town

Don't even blink
Your time has run out
Spill your guts all over the ground
Don't even blink
Your time has run out
Catch your breath
It's all over now

An infinite control shoots my body away from the soul
And now you see how I feel
You've been down this road too many times
All the streets run together

The goal of this game is to live in the night
I've never seen you frightened like I see you
I might just make this the day that everything is okay

To take back what you did to me

Go and find your own way
Hey! Don't turn around
Is there anything left to believe in?
Go and find your own way
Hey! Get out of this town
Don't turn around
Get out of this town

    My Interpretation

    Wanted to share my interpretation of this song, let's see what people think. Firstly, like many of their songs, this one is linked to Final Fantasy 10:

    The first verse: "You brought this on my head. It's calling me. You sent me to my death. - Priests in Bevelle sentencing Yuna and co to Via Purifico I figured out why." - Figured out Yevon's dirty little secret

    "Go and find your own way. Hey! Don't turn around. Is there anything left to believe in? - Yevon religion turned out to be 'fake' Go and find your own way." - They refused the final summoning, so they have to find their own method to defeat Sin

    "Hey, get out of this town!" - Ran away from Bevelle after all the problems

    "Don't even blink, your time has run out." - They become 'heathens' and run from the temples

    "You've been down this road too many times, all the streets run together." - May be linked to Yuna living in Bevelle before or how all
    summoners meet the same fate.

    "I might just make this the day that everything is okay." - If they find a way to defeat Sin and bring an eternal calm

    Hope this makes sense, and please reply and add anything else

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
