I'm singing a song about the song I'm singing
in an effort to forget what I was thinking
and it doesn't make it that much easier
that you're staring at me from your rear view mirror
but happy people, let em stare

why do I cry everytime a kid walks by
I send a message, I send a message
that's why can't I just fall asleep, why can't I just fall asleep
while happy people
happy people (x3)
happy people in the mirror are sadder than they appear

I'm giving up I cant take it anymore
oh no they're so annoying
I think it's time that all the sads we got together and we beat the glads
I think it's time that all the sads we got together and beat other dads (?)

that happy people (x3)
happy people in the mirror have gotten over their fears
happy people in the mirror need a swift kick to the rear
happy people in the mirror watch a student production of king lear

happy people I dont need em
happy people I can beat em
happy people what is your secret
happy people you can eat it

happy people (x4)
have fun all you happy people

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”

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.
