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.
I promised you on an ocean of
Mother of pearl, gold, and indigo
Cut through the waves, I watched you swim away
I'll never love you more than today
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Now black light sets on my short day
Oh, you betrayed me, you gave it away
You don't mind picking up salt to rub into my wounds
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you betray me
Or save me
Save me from you
(Miami ba...)
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you betray me
Or save me
Save me from you
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you betray me
Save me
Save me
Mother of pearl, gold, and indigo
Cut through the waves, I watched you swim away
I'll never love you more than today
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Now black light sets on my short day
Oh, you betrayed me, you gave it away
You don't mind picking up salt to rub into my wounds
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you betray me
Or save me
Save me from you
(Miami ba...)
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you betray me
Or save me
Save me from you
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
Would you betray me
Save me
Save me

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.
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/
Magical

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.
I found this: Yannis Philippakis told The NME: “It’s just to do with having bad experiences every summer on Greek beaches, where I’d have a crush on somebody and it wouldn’t go well. I’ve never been to Miami, but I wanted to set it there because I like the imagery of Scarface: bad suits, turquoise beaches and really white teeth.”
Makes sense to me!!
I did my best. I'm sure I may have botched up a few lines. Let me know if anyone has suggestions and I will correct whatever is agreed upon.
By the way... The "Miami bd" part over the choruses, I'm pretty sure it's saying Miami, but I have no clue what the second word is. I just put "bd" for filler until someone figures it out.
first line is "i promised you open ocean glow"
line is "miami bad"<br /> <br /> also there's the (in miami) after the 'would you' lines
Thanks Demon. Not sure how I missed that (In Miami) part. Now that you've pointed it out it's crystal clear.
Miami is a wonderful place located in the sunshine state. It is all about the kind of happiness that comes along with beaches and fun in the sun. It is a vacation destination that is warm. Miami is the place in his mind that is inverse to the situation he is dealing with in a relationship with someone at his home. Many people use their imaginations to escape a situation that is tough to deal with.
This song is about someone betraying something for something else more superficial
saw them in boston, and the explanation he gave was, "this song is about losing your dignity at the beach . . . which tends to happen to me a lot."
love this song. wish i knew what miami had to do with the song.
Im watching this Coachella live stream, and as is said above, Yannis stated "it's about a bad experience at the beach."Anyway, great band. Not their strongest lyrics, but incredible groove
I thought it was "Miami bug".
