Cats and crafts
put you in a tiny box that's filled with our victims who
can't explain how they love their moms
and all the hands that retreat
they try to slip right down their pussy
but theres nothing that you thought is wrong

But you are too beautiful to fuck
you're too beautiful
you are too beautiful to fuck
you're too beautiful

Slice my eyes
took me through another night that goes all night through
tries to seize what their hearts have lost
my best friend took me in
and made me down decide my own sins
and I said "can you
please forgive the love?"

'Cause you are too beautiful to fuck
you're too beautiful
you are too beautiful to fuck
you're too beautiful

    I love this song... To me it's about him seeing a girl who is simply to delicate and beautiful to fuck... Perhaps he wants to call it something different? She is too beautiful for him to use and move on.

    ok so if im going to be the first person to write something, ill just say what i heard saturday night at the kevin drew concert. he prefaced this song with a story about a ufc fighter who he apparently went to high school with. so this guy approaches kevin and tells him he'd like to talk to him about being gay since he heard kevin was (i still dont know if that's completely true or not). anyways, he said after making out with the guy a few times (not sure if that was a joke) he wanted kevin to go home with him that night, to which he refused, causing the muscle-bound ufc fighter to break a windshield. somewhere along the line, this guy tried to take a pair of kevin's purple doc martin boots. anyways, thats what he said at the show, or as close to it as i can remember.

    "Slice my eyes took me through another night that goes all night through" that's probably my favorite line. i'm debating whether or not it is eyelids as opposed to eyes. such a beautiful way of saying you're staying up all night.

    so i am the first to really take a crack at this one. sweet.

    i have so many fun or crazy ideas about this song. none of which i think really hold true cause i didn't write this song. Here goes...

    "Cats and crafts put you in a tiny box that's filled with our victims"

    This is how he sees someone. I'd venture to say that it is a girl. And he is likening her to a young, innocent, naive, little girl - with little pink bows in her hair and having a jewelry box with that ballerina that pops out of the top with music playing. She is that stupid ballerina.

    The end of that line "victims" alludes to all the others just like her, girls and guys alike, all the same age, all acting rather trapt in a rather silly reality.

    "who can't explain how they love their moms"

    Oedipus complex joke here. kinda funny really. a wiki paste about Oedipus : The Oedipus complex in Freudian psychoanalysis refers to a stage of psychosexual development in childhood where children of both sexes regard their father as an adversary and competitor for the exclusive love of their mother. The name derives from the Greek myth of Oedipus, who unknowingly kills his father, Laius, and marries his mother, Jocasta.

    so basically all dudes are fucked in the head being in love with their mom and how they struggle with the transference into the girls they meet. "they try to slip right down their pussy" these victims she is with, childlike boys, still wanting to mate with their mom, are now looking to do that to her. and he feels above it all.

    because...

    she is "too beautiful to fuck" damn, i bet she is really hot. so hot that your groin goes numb from visual and intellectual stimulus overload.

    "Slice my eyes took me through another night that goes all night through"

    slice my eyes is a re fence to boxers. when taken many blows to the face, specifically the eyes, blood floods the region to protect and heal from all the trauma. it can be so badly swollen that it blinds the boxer. to alleviate this, trainers would cut their eyes, or the skin swollen over them, to bleed it out enough to see. hes pretty beat up. and this isn't the first time since he says another night that goes all night.

    "tries to seize what their hearts have lost"

    now, my feelings about this part is that it becomes a lil corny. still well done. then again i may have missed the mark.

    a former love? they broke up, but they were in love for a reason, whatever the reason. and it was a pretty good thing. seize is a key word. how do you seize something that you know is gone with a girl? you pull some tricks, hint about the good times, you both eat it up and, bam. you find that sexual energy from long ago that made things so special.

    then again i could be putting my crazy thoughts of sexual perversion with my mom into this.

    "my best friend took me in and made me down decide my own sins"

    i am unsure of the accuracy of interpretation of this part. i welcome other ideas here for i am sure this part is better understood by others than myself. mine is rather simple... a friend took him aside and sat him down. they had a long talk about decisions he is making. about his previous rekindlement. and he responds "can you please forgive the love?" could be poking fun at the horrible mess he is in. it explains why he keeps getting mixed up with her to the disbelief of his friends.

    now, admittingly the interpretation of the chorus is subjective. i do not claim to have interpreted the true meaning, but since i get to write this and share it, i am going to assume you want to hear it. even if it is wrong. it could be said that it is beautifully innocent. it a world of sickening things and people, and the trends that are sent in socializing from them, that she is too beautiful to fuck. but the use of the work fuck defiantly shatters that idea. its a black listed word in a sentence of innocent white. (fuck off about any race parallels here) i find that the chorus is just saying that he sees more to her than that. that its a bit deeper than just sex. to just fuck her from looks. she is much too special than conquest.

    over all a song with a bit of complexity with a straight forward subject of a girl and guy in distress. ok, im done spinning lies. lates.

    the first line, according to the jacket in kevin drew's album is actually, "cats and christ put you in a tiny box...".

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
