Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Back to the here and now, oh yeah

Show me how
Decide what you want from me
Tell me maybe I could be there for you

However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? How
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? How (however)
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me?

Back to life
Back to the present time
Back from a fantasy, yes
Tell me now, take the initiative
I'll leave it in your hands
Until you're ready, yeah

However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? How
However, do you want me? (Oh, well, how do you want me?)
However, do you need me?
However, do you want me? (However)
However, do you need me? How
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you need me?

I live at the top of the block (top of the block)
No more room (no more room)
For trouble and fuss (no, no, no, there's not)
Need a change, a positive change
Look, it's me writing on the wall
Ever, do you want me, yes

However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? How
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? How
However, do you want me? (Oh, oh, oh)
However, do you need me? (Tell me, now, how do you want me to be? Yeah)

Back to life, back to the day we had
Let's end this foolish game
Hear me out, don't let it waste away
Make up your mind, so I know where I stand

However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? How
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you want me? (However)
However, do you need me? (Do you need me?)
However, do you want me? (Need me)
However, do you need me? (Tell me now)
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me?
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? (Tell me, now, how do you want me to be? Yeah)
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me? How (oh, oh)
However, do you want me?
However, do you need me?

    WHAT? Not ONE comment on this song of songs? Now I KNOW that the world is doomed, and deserving of condemnation and judgement from a holy and righteous God.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
