You are all I have
You are all I have
You are all I have

If you go away I don't think that I will survive
I'll wait outside the front door 'til you arrive
The light of day will shine inside of your eyes
Inside your eyes I'll see me there by your side

Am I all you have?
Am I all you have?
Am I all you have?

If I go way I know that you will survive
You're stronger than me, I have just realized
You won't be outside of the door 'til I arrive
The light of day will shine inside of your eyes

    Captures the fragility that radiates through much of Hayden's work. Even when things are going right in a relationship, Hayden is thinking about its demise. The girl is everything for Hayden, what provides him with life. The reverse isn't the same for the girl, but perhaps this is what Hayden likes about her. Anyways, love how the verses play off each other comparing him to the girl and Hayden being so open about being afraid to lose the one thing that matters to him.

    This song reveals such a deep-seeded paranoia and probably a bad track record with women. Also Tubesocks, I agree, he sounds very "fragile." Good way to put it. God, this song gives me such an emotional response every time I listen to it. Does it do the same for anyone else? I mean, I listen to many different styles of music and many different artists, but I can't think of another song that makes me as emotional as this, except for a few Jeff Buckley songs.

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”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
