So you honestly believe in me
Though I wake up every night, oh
And I've been dreaming of a second rush
While the first one leaves your eye

What if you'd never been through lies
Young sorrow, Wailing loans
What if you'd never seen through that
To the fields of our home

Always rumors of a flame in town
Not by parents ever traced, no
Just a part of what we do out here
Subtle early, vicious late

What if I'd never been through finds
Of sorrow, wailing loans
What if I'd never seen through that
To the fields of our home

When all falling down is just the travelling need
Of a wave
And the burn of salt in the cuts come around
Heal again

There was always racing on that crossing street
Where you'd land on quiet heels
Will there ever be a sane time to
Let them know how walking feels

What if we never see through crying tomorrows,
Wailing loans
What if we never see through that
To the fields of our...

The more we believe in these frozen grounds
Suddenly hunger disappears
Will we fall as we run with our closing eyes
Is this a lifetime or some years

    Seems to be staying through the hardships in a relationship to reach better times.

    These are just some spontaneous ideas while listening through the song.

    The lines: So you honestly believe in me though I wake up every night and I've been dreaming of a second rush while the first one leaves your eye

    Sounds like his partner fully believed in him and the relationship despite him having doubts. This commitment added to his already existing guilt of having the doubts in the first place. The dreaming of a second rush could mean a new love, while the first one begins to fade.

    The fields of our home could be the union created by the two and possibly refers to both their physical and metaphysical connection/creation. If they had never seen though the doubt/hardship, they would have never made it home or back to the sanctuary of their connection/relationship.

    There was always racing on that crossing street where you'd land on quiet heels will there ever be a sane time to let them know how walking feels

    I believe the traffic on the crossing street is the street that one would have to cross/re join if it was decided to leave home. Leaving the sanctuary of love and back into the hard real world. His leaving lover quietly re-renters this life. He wonders if there will ever be an appropriate time to ask how her new life has become "how walking feels". It is very easy to relate to this line. He still cares deeply about this person and wants to know how her life is but feels that it is not ok to ask.

    Great song!

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
