Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me, I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder, this wasn't a vision
This time, where are you Houston?
Is somebody out there? Will somebody listen

Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I hope I won't forget you

My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much

Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
This time I don't want to
Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I hope I won't forget you

Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
This time I don't want to
Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back? Should I go back? Should I?
I hope I won't forget you

    Best song on the album in my opinion. The lyrics really do express the feeling of lonliness, depression, and the ultimate boredom of a person void of companionship.

    I don't think NASA would be very happy if he decided not to return their space shuttle.

    I think Blink 182 has a lot of songs that don't seem deep but if you are a true fan you see into the lyrics and realize how much meanings a lot of their songs have just like this song. I effin love it. (:

    This song doesnt sound so deep but i think it really is...Its about a guy in space looking down at the world thinking about how bad it has become with crime etc....and hes wondering is it worth even going back to this place or am i better off here without all that bad stuff

    It's about doubt, lonliness, fear... the feelings you get when you're alone enough to see the world from an outside perspective as opposed to that of being someone inside it.

    Awesome song.. It's somewhat creepy. The whole premise is good tho. Tom says in the album booklet that he just thought of a guy floating in a space shuttle out in space deciding whether or not to come back to Earth or not.. you know, if it's worth it.

    amazing song. been a fan since they were just blink and I thought they were headed in a downward spiral once i heard Enema, but this cd fucking amazes me. They have done a complete 180 and used their intelligence not to talk about dick and fart jokes (which is funny) - but rather have created a dark, emotional album. I love it.

    I love this song, in fact my domain name is from it. I think this song can apply to a lot more than an astronaut. "This time, where are you houston? Is somebody out there, will somebody listen?" I love that part, and if you really listen - it's also about a lonely person.

    I think it' one of the best songs on this album (if i have to pick any) I love the sound of the guitar and the way tom sings on this. i like the whole space theme and how he could imagine it from that point of view. it's different... but not unexpected seeing as tom is a trekkie and all

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
