Shout shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on I'm talking to you come on
Shout shout let it all out

These are the things I can do without
Come on I'm talking to you come on
In violent times you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white they really really ought to know

Those one track minds that took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye you shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy, you shouldn't have to shout for joy
Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without
Come one, I'm talking to you, come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell

As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Will you never shout
I feel as though you're never gonna let it all out

Will you never shout'
I feel as though I know
you're never gonna let it all out
Will you never shout'

I feel as though I know you're never gonna let it
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart

I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without

Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
I'd really love to
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without

Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

    Since it seems very few have actually said what they believe this song is about, I'll go ahead and share. I believe that this song is about not bottling up your emotions. You should express yourself and screw what other people think. Shout and let it all out

    In reference to the one guy that told us about the RATM album renegades, it was complete shit, Rolling Stones sounds WAY fuckin better than RATM, and anyway out of the eleven or ten songs on that album, I only liked three. And to THIS song, it's awesome, and just because YOU may not like Tears for Fears doesn't mean you have to be a complete douche bag licking, dog fucker to ppl who DO like them. Personally, I hate 80s music, but I'm not gonna go on an asshole tirade on people who do like it. So anybody that does that kind of "Ur moosik sux" bullshit can have a nice hot cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP, courtesy of me.

    maybe it lacks feeling for a reason, maybe theyre trying to make a point. like sarcasm in a song ya know... its like if you dont stand up for what you believe ur weak so "Shout" like... hinting that ppl say they shout but its weak. idk, just a thought. they probably have little emotion for a reason im just saying.

    Disturbed is awesome. They took this eighties song and refined it and put there special touch on it and made it into one kick ass song.

    The Tears For Fears version makes me laugh because it's so 80's... and then I can never fully get over it when I'm listening to Shout 2000.

    "Shooouut... shoooUuUUt lllllleddit all ooooouuut" - It always sounds kinda gay when Tears sing it... dunno why I think that... but hey there it is.

    A pity - because other than that I can tell that it's a great heavy song.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
