Fu.., fu.. fu.., I got this bad cold
And I got a life, I live it up
I live it up

(It's gonna go away)

I don't want this to go away
I'm so scared
(oh so cared)
I can't think of going on
We all crumble
We crumble under pressure
(pressure)
Pressure
(pressure)

(It's still gonna go away)

.... go live it up
We're livin it up

    The "it" in this song is Jon's fame. He knows he's going to lose it all one day but he doesn't know when and he's terrified of the fact.

    This is fucking emotional. I wish, along with "4U", this was longer.

    i think this song is about this monster who's terroizing everyone, and JD (or someone else) is assuring everyone that it's gonna go away

    Fun fact: This is the only nu metal song about getting the sniffles. When you're on tour a lot like KoRn your immune system takes a drastic hit. The crumbling under pressure is both him giving into the temptation to drink, and his white blood cells giving in to all the alcohol and lack of sleep, which lowers your immune system and leads to a nasty cold. But he's got a life, so he lives it up.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
