Bring me back home
Where the trees grew tall and children walk
From shore to shore

Take your photos back
I have enough of my own baby
So take your memories back

And I think I speak for everyone
When I say this place is not our home (it's not our home)
But I hope that we can someday find
A better place for you and I (for you and I)

Send the mailman
To homes of broken souls and awkward lines
Letters mean nothing

Search through your
Drawing pad where I left you notes
You won't look over

And I think I speak for everyone
When I say this place is not our home (it's not our home)
But I hope that we can someday find
A better place for you and I (for you and I)

Close the door (say, "Screw the world")
Pull the plug (kill the patient)
Draw the shades (block my light)
No, the moon's not coming (out tonight)

And I think I speak for everyone
When I say this place is not our home (it's not our home)
But I hope that we can someday find
A better place for you and I (for you and I)

Through all these years, dealing with fears
No one should have to know
I can't decide, to stay or hide
So I'll just follow
You through the door, you selfish whore
Let's both run out on my life
I'll be a man, though I can't stand
I'm still alive, I'm still alive

And the third time isn't such a charm

    They don't belong together, they need to find their own homes. She did something to him and he realized that he can't stand her. She left him and he's stuck where he is. He knows he's still alive, but he doesn't know what to do. Name of the song: It's happened for the third time, this is no charm.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue

“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.
