Every once in a while I see your face, I'm feeling half the man
Then you cup your hands, you throw me away, I'm under
But then everything beneath me fades, I'm feeling half the man
Then you shut your eyes, you close me away, I'm under

I'm alone with these thoughts of mine, people look and tell me justboy
I don't believe in anything, that's the message in your eyes (in your eyes)
I don't believe in anything, that's the message in your eye

I have tried so hard to leave this place, it leaves me under hand
I want to feel your breath here with me, and kiss you

I'm alone with these thoughts of mine, people look and tell me justboy
I don't believe in anything, that's the message in your eyes (in your eyes)
I don't believe in anything, that's the message in your eye

I am (hopin'), through the (dark clouds), light shall break and bring a bright sky
I am hopin', through the (dark clouds), light shall break and bring a bright sky
I am hopin', through the dark clouds, light shall break and bring a bright sky
Light shall break and bring a bright sky

    'i am hoping through the dark clouds light shall break and bring a bright sky' .......may also relate to the desire to get over the feelings that still linger...getting over someone is also like seeing the light or being in a bright sky.

    i think that this song is about a boy who is in love with someone, but she doesnt want him so he despairs and feels worthless and helpless. however he still hopes that she will change her mind

    also, i love the way the song starts all of a sudden, like, just drops u into the song from the intro, but then gets lighter with the guitar and vocals. anyway, i cant describe it but listen to it and u might understand me?

    i don't believe in anything that's the message in your eyes

    I love this hook. It's a really great song, quite obviously about a boy who's in love with a girl who doesn't feel the same way.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
