You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided

I have a wish, I want to learn
I wish to see, and I want to affirm
That what I see in reflection day to day
Isn't all I am

Say what you see
When you close your eyes and glide
The only shell who could
Circumvent the tide
Sheds of himself
That tells us what he knows
And a piece of him will stay
When the rest of him
Goes

You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided

You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided

I have a wish, I want to learn
I wish to see, and I want to affirm
That what is here, broken record everyday
Isn't all there is

Say what you see, when you close your eyes and glide
The only shell, to Circumvent the tide
Shells out himself, And tells us what he knows
A piece of him will stay
A piece of him to stay, helps me grow

The piece of you
That makes you, you
That part stays
You are divided

The piece of you
That makes you, you
That part stays
You are divided
Ahhhhh, ahhhh

You're only divided

The piece of you
That makes you, you
That piece stays
You are divided

The piece of you
That makes you, you
Don't be afraid

    I was in Seattle about a month ago, and i was going to see the space needle and the music center is right next to the space needle. So, we parked a few blocks away... and we where walking to to the space needle and I looked over and right there was the Incubus BUS!!!.. I started freaking out.. and then when we went past the music center, Incubus and Hoobastank where playing... I just about died b/c earlier that day, we originally planned to go to the music center.. and instead we went to the damn space needle.. i was soooo PISSED!!! IT DOESN'T HELP THE FACT THAT THE GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY HOT... AND BESIDES ALL OF THAT.. THIS SONG ROCKS!!! IT'S UP THERE IN MY NUMBER ONES!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
