I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Losing you will be the hardest thing to do
My heart is open like an open book, and yours is closed
I never thought it would be like this
So how do we move on?

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Remember long walks, sandy beaches, all those swims together?
We were like a merry-go-round going around in circles
You said we'll always be together
But you weren't telling the truth
You were telling lies

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Pick up the phone, give me a call, and talk to me
It shouldn't have been like this
I can't take it no more

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight

    In "Losing You", Jan Terri expresses her never-ending love for her unnamed lover, who decides to break up their relationship. It has been speculated in past years as to why he had left her. Some say that her hectic travel-ridden schedule (as implied by her music video) prevented the couple from developing genuine intimacy. Others claim that the breakup was due to Terri's horrible fashion sense (she uses her belt as a bra in the video). But from analyzing her poem in depth, it can be concluded that Terri's lover was simply fed up with her nagging, which is apparent from the fact that she repeats the chorus, "I don't wanna lose you tonight / You're the only thing that matters / I don't wanna lose you this way / Just need your love" a total of ten times throughout her song.

    Fans of Imogen Heap will immediately find the parallels between "Losing You" and Heap's single, "Hide and Seek." Both songs deal with the incredible hardships that come with a love relationship. Yet, while Heap utilizes a Vocoder to enhance her voice, which consequently coats her song with a sense of artificiality, Terri refrains from using such tools. Instead, Terri retains the natural authenticity of her heartfelt emotions, accentuating the tragedy of her desperation to win back the heart of the man whom she loved.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
