I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible
do what you want
do what you want

I was thinking I would disappear
I will slip into the groove
And cut me up
And cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
so now I set you free
I set you free

There's an empty space inside my heart
It won't take root
so now I set you free
I set you free

Slowly we unfold
As lotus flowers
And all I want
Is the moon upon a stick
Dancing around a pit
Just to see what is
I can't kick your habit
Just to feed your fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
do what we want
do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
That once held you but now I
Set you free
I set you free

Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what is
Just to see what gives

the bird that's flown into my room

Slowly we unfold
as lotus flowers
All I want is the moon upon a stake
and dancing round the pit
the darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed my fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart

    This is about some one who is in LOVE/ in LUST with someone but has finally come to terms that the person will not reciprocate and now they have accepted this but will still give all they have anyway.

    "I will shape myself into your pocket Invisible Do what you want I will shrink and I will disappear I will slip into the groove and cut me off"- This is someone who is willing to lose themselves and shape to other person's pocket, and lose their self-respect.

    "There's an empty space inside my heart Where the weeds take root And now I'll set you free I'll set you free"- This goes on to say that the spot that he/ she had for this person is now filled with weeds/ dirt/ filler and because of this they are letting him go in the the sense that he/she doesn't expect the same in return anymore.

    There seems to be someone else or a reason why they cannot be together but this person has lost all self respect because when this person/obstacle is gone, they will be there for them to do as they wish.

    "We will shrink and we'll be quiet as mice And while the cat is away Do what we want Do what we want"

    Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers

    From ancient times the lotus has been a divine symbol in Asian traditions representing the virtues of sexual purity and non-attachment. So this is someone who will give themselves sexually, emotionally, physically and now is not attached.This is a symbol of connecting, becoming one without the "title"

    This person is a weakness to them, a habit that cannot be quit. And when you give yourself to someone who won't give themselves to you- you are just... filling their "fast ballooning head"

    'Listen to your heart'.- seems to be a plea to this person to let go, and let this person back in.

    Ahh- we all have been there. <3

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.

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
