I tried to stop myself
Told you those games ain't good for yourself
Gave you advice 'cause I thought you could hear
Better listen closely 'cause your end is near

Won't show you no mercy at all
Gonna kick you, kick you when you're taking your fall
Won't show you no mercy today
Gonna hit you, hit you when you're moving on your way

Put you in check 'cause I thought you were my friend
Sorry it had to come to the bitter end
Just like a blind man you can't see
Better move along and just let me be

Don't come to me for no sympathy
You won't get none here
Just leave you in fear

Won't show you no mercy at all!

What does it take to prove you were a fake
I thought so anyway,
Won't show you no mercy today!

Won't show you no mercy at all!

    This song is about showing a person no mercy, or hiding mercy from them. Like, if you had mercy and a person wanted to see it, you could leave the mercy in a box or bag and just not show them. Another way to not show mercy is to see a friend on the side of the road with a flat tire and then just drive right by. The lyric "Gonna kick ya, kick ya when you're takin your fall" seems to be in reference to hitting a person when they are falling over.

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.
