Long Distance

A

Long distance last goodbye
can't give it one last try
it's all over we didn't even cry
all I know is the world came between us and the love got left behind
no news flash funeral half mast flag on the day that our love died
and i'd tell you face to face but I can't look you in the eye
I just called to say goodbye

did you burn my pictures yet
anything to try and forget
it's all I can do just to stay on the line

all I know is the world came between us and the love got left behind
no news flash funeral half mast flag on the day that our love died
and i'd tell you face to face but I can't look you in the eye
I just called to say goodbye

we both know how hard it is for both of us to try and we both know how hot it is
in richmond in july
so what am I supposed to say?
how's the weather anyway?
this time I called to say goodbye

who'd thought it would end like this?
with out even a good bye kiss no one can say we didn't try.

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”
