We see ourselves like stars
At once so close and yet so far
Bodies so familiar
We both would know them in the dark
The only constant thing has changed
Even the strongest ones can shake
Don’t want it all to go to waste
But it feels like we’re about to break

You raise your voice and slam a door
Somewhere we’re we over? Pause
I sit alone and feel regret
You go out drinking to forget
And when we meet by accident
A subconscious coincidence
There’s an uncomfortable suspense
A thousand words hanging unsaid

I know you so well
But we dance like strangers tonight
No one could ever tell
We used to hold our bodies tight
Trying to have a real good time
But something just doesn’t feel right
The music’s playing but we never hear
Plus we dance like strangers
We dance like strangers tonight

You’re surrounded by your friends
Even them stories with no end
They all agree and nod their heads
But they can never comprehend
‘Cause they don’t know you like I do
There’s no one else that we include
I’ve seen you act like such a fool
But if held my hand when I was blue

I know you so well
But we dance like strangers tonight
No one could ever tell
We used to hold our bodies tight
Trying to have a real good time
But something just doesn’t feel right
The music’s playing but we never hear
Plus we dance like strangers
We dance like strangers tonight

I wanna meet you for the very first time again, again
I wanna start anew with a stranger like you again, again
I wanna meet you for the very first time again, again
I wanna start anew with a stranger like you again, again

I know you so well
But we dance like strangers tonight
No one could ever tell
We used to hold our bodies tight
Trying to have a real good time
But something just doesn’t feel right
The music’s playing but we never hear
Plus we dance like strangers
We dance like strangers tonight

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.

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.

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.
