Why did she come tonight?
I was beginning to mend all
Slipped down, fell aside
You give me reason to do nothing but wrong

It starts with the sinner tonight
It feels so right
You leave me happy just to feed it a lie
While I just panick at the break of down

Why did you call tonight?
(I want to know if I can trick a lie)
I was beginning to build up
Dreams of a another night
(I want to know if I can trick a lie)
You send a shiver to a body that's cold

She says she will be here a while
I'm paralyzed
Feels like I'm loosing this fight
You just have it when it hits me

A race for luck when it stops
Plays on my hands
I've tasted lie
Dare me to believe
Our time is up
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe

Why did you call tonight?
(I want to love you like a trick of the light)

You follow the sinner tonight
It feels so right
You leave me happy just to feed it a lie
While I just panic at the break of down

Erase your life, fuck it up
Blood is on my hands
I've tasted lie
A race for luck when it stops
Dare me to believe
Our time is up
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't

If this is real then I know I should wake you up
There's no mistake I loose the feeling when the music stops
I wanna hit you but you're never gonna mean that much to me

(You will, but you don't)

Tonight I'll let you, I'm gonna find you within every touch
Whatever happens, let's forget about the venom in us
I wanna love you but you're never gonna mean that much to me

I don't believe
I don't believe
I don't
I don't believe in us

Why did you call tonight?
(I want to love you like a trick of the light)
Why did you call tonight?
(I want to love you like a trick of the light)

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”

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.
