Lyrics From Songs That Seem To Make No Sense

REO Speedwagon. He says he believes her and not the rumors but he also accuses her of lying and cheating. Which is it??

"'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain."
America -- "Horse with No Name."

One partial sentence, three negatives. My head wants to explode.

The lyrics describe someone (a guy in my opinion) who has heard rumors about his woman. He claims not believe them, but deep down knows they are true. Unfortunately, he loves her! So, "Take It On The Run" suggests escaping a difficult, heartbreaking situation.

I love this song by Pink Floyd but the lyrics are somewhat baffling.....

Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" is a song about absence, longing, and the complexities of human connection. It's a reflection on the band's experience with their former member, Syd Barrett, and the broader themes of disillusionment and the search for meaning.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

You are giving me flashbacks!

Come to think of it, they aren't all that bad.
