Who's To Blame

RA

She asked me out
I thought there'd be no harm in dating
But soon her eyes would cut me like a piece of broken glass
And deep inside I felt myself disintegrating
I then found out what it's like to pay for someone's past

So tell me who's to blame for the pain you're giving me
So tell me who's to blame?
Is it you or is it me?

When we made love at first it seemed like God was coaching
As time went on it became a way to keep me in my place
No more respect. No more passion. No more lovers doting
Two people cursed. So pissed and sad
It's written on their face

So tell me who's to blame for the pain you're giving me
So tell me who's to blame?
Is it you or is it me?
So tell me who's to blame for the pain you're giving me
So tell me who's to blame?
Is it you or is it me?

I don't wanna feel this way
But I can't stop thinking
I can't stop feeling
I wish that things were right
I wanted to be with you
But I will never be enough

And you would never, ever, let me BE!!

Yeah!

So tell me who's to blame for the pain you're giving me
So tell me who's to blame?
Is it you or is it me?
So tell me who's to blame for the pain you're giving me
So tell me who's to blame?

Was it you?
Was it you?
So tell me who's to blame
Ohhh
Was it you?
Was it me?

    I tried to give accurate lyrics from what I can hear. I had trouble with some parts but they seem to make sense with the song. If you hear something else, let me know so we can come to a final conclusion.

    It's a shame that I couldn't find the lyrics ANYWHERE on the internet. . .

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.

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.

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,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
