So much blood I'm starting to drown
It runs from cold to colder
Time to time the skies come down
And help me lose my way
Tears and lies for answers
You and open veins
God knows I'm gone
Girl I just want you to
Come on down

Lord, it's a storm in my head and I fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong, oh babe
Come on down
Come on down my babe, wrong time I know

Long gone day (woah, woah-oh yeah)
Hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Who ever said we'd wash away with the rain?

See you all from time to time
Isn't it so strange how far away we all are now
Am I the only one who remembers that summer?
Oh woah, I remember
Everyday each time a place was saved
The music that we made
The wind has carried all of that away

Long gone day
Hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Who ever said we'd wash away with the rain?

So many tears I'm starting to drown
The rains in heaven must all come down
Silver spoons that fix the crown
The luckless ones are broken
Fears and lies for answers
You and open flames
God knows I'm gone
And I just want you to
Come on down

Lord, it's a storm in my head and I fall
These Sins are mine and I've done wrong
I want you to, oh I just want you to
Come on down

I fear again, like then, I lost my way
Shout to God to bring my sunny day

    Life's like that. There ain't nothin' better than the innocence of youth, the friends you had back then and the shit you done together. How I wish I could be 15 once again, relive the best time I ever had. I ain't even able to ask 'em if they remember 'cause I'm so fuckin' far away, I ain't got no telephone numbers and shit to maybe give 'em a call. It's all gone wrong. Well.. at least I got this song.

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”
