Whisper, whimper on
I won't forget to close your eyes for you
I'll sing before you lie down, down
And push your sleep along
I'll sink below the ground
Find the weeping, wailing calls you echo
And I'll build a house around you
Stir a moat until you drown, down

I'll whisk away your heart sigh and bury it in mine
I'll whisk away your heart sigh and bury it in mine

Only lonely, hidden breath beneath the floor
Only, only, where your tears drip from the drawers
Only lonely, hid the morning from the stars
Only, only, weeping glimmers in the dark

I can hear your back crackin'
Over the sky so you can wear it
Thunder whispered low, so
You could bare it in

I'll whisk away your heart sigh and bury it in mine
I'll whisk away your heart sigh and bury it in mine

Come down, come now back
Carry on, wearily on
Come down, come now back
Carry on, wearily on

Only lonely, hidden breath beneath the floor
Only, only, where your tears drip from the drawers
Only lonely, hid the morning from the stars
Only, only, weeping glimmers in the dark

Whisk away your heart sigh and bury it in mine
I'll whisk away your heart sigh and bury it in mine

    I read these lyrics as reaching a hand out to the listener who resonates. It provides a comfort to those who might have a heavy heart hidden under the surface. It acknowledges that lonely space of sorrow and sits with it. It also points out a different kind of beauty and strength in those depths and invites you to use that as you carry on the best you can.

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.
