You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
When your low serotonin's got you brittle and glitchy
And your friend from the null set isn't calling you back yet
And your opening bombs and you're a few beats up ahead of the laugh track
How you gonna talk about who's toxic or not?
You gonna pick through the pills?
You gonna call in the cops?
The comedian claimed that he forgot all his props
And the jokes don't really work well without them
We were sleeping on the shuttle on the way to the club
And the holy perception and the most precious blood
It flooded the ruts and it soaked the upholstery
The driver made us walk the remainder
She came around the corner with a diplomat's shake
And some kind of crystal container
Yeah, mutually assured destruction is oftentimes a no-brainer
The drifters in the kitchen
Were thrashing through the passion
Boys, let's try to keep it on the carpet
You wouldn't be so impressed with the sunrise
If it wasn't for the darkness
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
But you settled for the first girl that said you were sweet
You bought a little house up on Sycamore Street
You hung around the money until they cut you a piece
You did good kid, you did good kid
But the things they didn't tell you when you went off to work
How does it feel? Where does it hurt?
You can't see the wires when they're under his shirt
But they're taking down every single detail
He came into the club with the commemorative plates
A depiction of the slaughter at Shiloh
And the light in his eyes was diminished
But they announced his arrival
Once the assistant hitched us into the harness
The wolves all started acting kinda sheepish
Woke up in a bed with a spray painted mattress
Dripping wet with the emotional weakness
And every single moment gets abandoned and emptied
Every single speaker gets blown
And now you wanna go home
Oh dude, they made a movie starring you
Oh man, this wasn't what you planned
You fold your hands and you laugh at the jokes
You did good kid, you did good kid
Oaks and acorns, and acorns and oaks
You did good kid, you did good kid
Searching out another mouth in the smoke
You did good kid, you did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid
When your low serotonin's got you brittle and glitchy
And your friend from the null set isn't calling you back yet
And your opening bombs and you're a few beats up ahead of the laugh track
How you gonna talk about who's toxic or not?
You gonna pick through the pills?
You gonna call in the cops?

You did good kid
You did good kid
You did good kid

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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”

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
