== Zeds Dead - White Satin ==


Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end

And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you

Zed's Dead, baby

Oh my god I- [x4]

Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end

And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you

Oh my god I- [x4]

Nights in white satin [x2]
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send

Overall Meaning

The song "White Satin" by Zeds Dead is a cover of The Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" from their 1967 album "Days of Future Passed." The lyrics of the song deal with the confusion and turmoil that can arise from trying to understand oneself and the world around us in the face of others who may not understand or support us. The opening lines set the scene of the singer gazing at couples and feeling that they don't understand what he is going through. He expresses frustration with those who try to tell him what to do, but can't defend their thoughts. The chorus of the song, which is repeated throughout, features the singer proclaiming his love for someone, perhaps to counteract the feelings of confusion and frustration he is experiencing.


The song features a repeated phrase of "Oh my god I" which could be interpreted as the singer trying to find the right words to express his feelings or as an exclamation of the intensity of what he is experiencing. The final lines of the song refer back to the title of the original song, with the singer describing how he has written letters that he never intended to send, perhaps as a way of processing his emotions without fully exposing himself.


Overall, the lyrics of "White Satin" are a heartfelt exploration of the difficulties of understanding oneself and others and the power of love to overcome these challenges.

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.

Oh, how I love you
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bed sitter people look back and lament
Another days useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
