Cool my brains and soothe my head
Stimulate me, my co-co-co
Sneak into my empty bed
And educate me, my co-co-co

In the summer, in the spring
In public places, my co-co-co
On an island far away
Lemonade with my co-co-co

And when I was down and failing life
You came to save me, my co-co-co
And when they said I'm telling lies
You believed me, my co-co-co

And through the noise I heard a song
You were singing, my co-co-co
And when you said that nothing's wrong
I believed you, my co-co-co
But you were gone when I came through
And I remember you first
Well someday I'll dance with you
When I'm dreaming, my co-co-co

I sat alone and I didn't care
I sat two years in the same old chair
I saw three roads and I didn't know
Which way to go-go-go-go

I need some help from a little love
I need some help from a little above
And you were there, I'm still in love
I won't forget you Coco
I won't forget you Coco
I won't forget you no, no

Because you're my Coco
My Coco, my Coco
You're my Coco, yeah, my Coco

    To quote the singer of the band:

    "'My Coco' is about those first few months when you meet somebody and everything's just new, great and spontaneous. You know when you start dating someone, and everything's great? It's giddy and amazing and explorative, and you can't wait till she calls you? Coco is actually an ex-girlfriend though that's not her real name… Eventually, the relationship started going in a downward spiral, and I lost all that initial giddiness…"

    no way. this song is not about coke, you crack heads. it has to be about when you first meet someone. the beat of the music and the guitar and the progression of the song personifies that human emotion. i can't see any other way of describing it. and even if it is about coke... you can suck my balls.

    What?! Why has nobody commented on this song! This is the best song in the world. Every time I hear it, I just want to get up and dance. I'm guessing it's about a girl.

    Yes...just look at the interview portion posted above. It's about the honeymoon period before a relationship turns to shite. That, and if you've ever met the band, they're just not effing cokeheads.

    after further consideration, this song might also be about sex.

    "Sneak into my empty bed And educate me, my co-co-co"

    Yeah, it could very well be about sex.

    it could go either way. but, since the singer himself stated it was about a relationship, the cocaine assumption is irrelevant.

    so shut up.

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”

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
