Checking into leaving, yeah I'm folding
Tired of breakin' down and shaking
This life around
Tired of praying, yeah tired of trying myself
I'm tired of being taken all the way
I don't need to be godless, but I am
I don't need my head, keepin' all my problems
I don't need your hand of God
I don't need, I say I'm godless
With no where to fall, I'm all ready to fall
Day by day I'm like a paper puppet and I'm stumbling around
Aching on the brain and I'm in
Big trouble big trouble
Still got to breathe oh yea
Like my shame this will all go down
God damned me that's for sure and I believe
I believed I don't belong here
I don't need, to get my head kicked in
And I don't need to be another lost soul that can't find home
I don't need to get my face
Dragged down in the muddy water
I don't need to say I'm godless anymore
Still I'm gone still I'm on the run
Still I'm on the break of the edge
Still I'm, still I'm feeling dead
I don't need to be godless but I am
I don't need to be another lost soul who can't find home
I don't need your hand of god
I don't need to be godless anymore
With nowhere to fall

    the song is about a guy who is lost in the world.
    he thinks he needs to find god and he can't and he doesn't mean not to believe in Him.

    actually i think this song is about a person who doesnt believe in god and how religion seems to make him remember his problems when he wants to forget them, and how he doesnt need gods forgiveness and gods help

    This album seems to have a lot talking about atheist beliefs and falling away from god. The lyrics to the album are very dark and angry.. yet very powerful. I don't think the guy is trying to find god, but lose him, just my two cents.

    This cd is truly great, one of my favorites.. UPO is terribly good, if you ever get a chance to pick up their cd's do it.. the lead singer is spectacular. One of the best hard rock bands no one has heard of. Instuments: Decent
    Vocals: Great Lyrics: Meaningful Feel: I'd say they are like the band Cold but better.

    I'd say the guy is admitting he needs something. I'm kinda there myself. Perhaps he's been without faith in a higher power and is suddenly realizing that life's bland without believing in something. He's having problems. Life's getting him down. He hurts. And he's singing about all of that. Just because the song says 'god' doesn't necessarily mean JUST God, though. Maybe he needs a purpose and direction.

    the song is not just about God. It has other meanings. I am in this situation right now in my life. I pray and pray and still the world kicks me in the face and I am tired of the pain. Why pray to God if he is not going to answer you and continue to let you go through all the pain? I want to believe in God and I want to live for him but i can't because I pray for help to get through all this and there is nothing. Why should I believe in God if he doesn't believe in me.

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”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
