I'ma gonna let go
I'ma gonna waste some time
Oh my my my, oh

You'a gonna say so
You'a try and say you're mine
Oh my my my, oh

(On and on and on, the light goes off and on)
I'm not cold,
I'm just a shakin
And a little of your love
Keeps me'a baking
I'ma get burned (get burned!)
I'ma get burned, burned, burned, oh


Know ya better come down,
I'm leaving you high and dry
Oh my my my, oh

I'ma gonna charge you
You'a gonna pay dem fines
On time time time

(On and on and on, the light goes off and on)
I'm not cold,
I'm just a'shakin'
And a little of your love
Keeps me'a baking
I'ma get burned (get burned!)
I'ma get burned, burned, burned, oh

(On and on and on, the light goes off and on)
Dare you to, but don't you dare
(When you come down, I'll be there, when I come down, we'll play fair)

(On and on and on, the light goes off and on)
I'm not cold,
I'm just a'shakin'
And a little of your love
Keeps me'a baking
I'ma get burned (get burned!)
I'ma get burned, burned, burned, oh

(On and on and on, the light goes off and on)

    I think that the lyric rendered here as: And a little of your love

    Should instead be: This little of your love

    I think what's going on is someone is being ignored by their lover. So, they feel like they're getting burned.

    This also explains the "When you come down I'll be there/ when I come down we'll play fair," he's saying that when things are bad for her, he'll be there to help her out, and help her recover; she's saying, yeah, I'll give you the attention you deserve when I don't have any better options.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.
