Good golly said little Miss Molly
Whe she was rockin' in the house of the blue light
Tooty Fruity was oh so rotty
Rockin' to the East and West

Loucile was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddy's will
Come on baby, drive me crazy
You can do it, you can do it

I'm a speed king, hear me sing
Yes, I'm a speed king, see me fly
Sat. night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about now, ain't gonna save

People gonna rock, people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Heard headed woman, soft heart man
They been causin' trouble since it all began

Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans
'Cause I'm a speed king
Hear me sing, speed king, see me fly

Good golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of the blue light
Tooty Fruity was oh so rotty
Rockin' to the East and West

Heard headed woman, soft heart man
They been causin' trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans.

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.
