Piece of Pie

Stone Temple Pilots

Yeah
Yeah

I broke the breadline
Nobody knows
I walked the front line
Still got far to go
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I broke the breadline
Don't wanna know

Yeah
Yeah

It's staring me down
Wearing a crown
Of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name, you know where to find me, yeah

I killed the manchild
I'll fast alone
I had the midwife
Naked and alone
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I killed the brainchild
I'll fast alone

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

It's staring me down
Wearing a crown
Of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name you know where to find me, yeah

Yeah
Don't wanna let me be a man
Yeah
Don't wanna lead me to your home
Don't wanna lead me to your, to your home

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

It's staring me down
Wearing a crown
Of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name you know where to find me

I killed the manchild
I had the midwife
I drank the water, I stand alone

I broke the breadline
I walked the front-line
Don't know my name you know where to find me, yeah

Yeah
Don't wanna let me be a man
Yeah
Don't wanna lead me to your home
Yeah
Don't wanna let me be a man
Yeah
Don't wanna lead me to your home

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”

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
