This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Wanna tell you 'bout a girl I know
For this we'll call her Sandy
She's got legs up to her armpits
And her voice is sweet like candy
She's an angel
Head over heels but you can't tell
You know you love her but
You wanna keep your distance
There's just one big problem
And that's her damn persistence
And I know her
It's just one smile bowls you over
And you may well put up a fight
But she's still gonna stay the night
It's all that she ever wants
And then she gets inside your head
You won't remember what you said
It's all that she ever wants
And then she crawls inside your skin
You won't know what a mess you're in
It's all that she ever wants
And no she hasn't got a clue
Of what the hell she wants to do
Well she's not even faithfull
But you don't even blame her
If you were that fine then
You would be the same and
You don't own her
But ask her nicely and she'll show ya
When you first met her
The match was made in heaven
Little did you know
You were the fifth one out of seven
But you still stay there
And you're still acting like you don't care
She's still deciding
What it is she wants to do
But you know that her long term plans
Don't include you
But you're still hoping
It's your special way of coping
She absent minded and
She may forget your name
But your caught up in her
And you love just the same
There's no denying
You know you're getting close to crying
She's inside your head, you won't know what you've said
She's inside your head, you might as well be dead
For this we'll call her Sandy
She's got legs up to her armpits
And her voice is sweet like candy
She's an angel
Head over heels but you can't tell
You know you love her but
You wanna keep your distance
There's just one big problem
And that's her damn persistence
And I know her
It's just one smile bowls you over
And you may well put up a fight
But she's still gonna stay the night
It's all that she ever wants
And then she gets inside your head
You won't remember what you said
It's all that she ever wants
And then she crawls inside your skin
You won't know what a mess you're in
It's all that she ever wants
And no she hasn't got a clue
Of what the hell she wants to do
Well she's not even faithfull
But you don't even blame her
If you were that fine then
You would be the same and
You don't own her
But ask her nicely and she'll show ya
When you first met her
The match was made in heaven
Little did you know
You were the fifth one out of seven
But you still stay there
And you're still acting like you don't care
She's still deciding
What it is she wants to do
But you know that her long term plans
Don't include you
But you're still hoping
It's your special way of coping
She absent minded and
She may forget your name
But your caught up in her
And you love just the same
There's no denying
You know you're getting close to crying
She's inside your head, you won't know what you've said
She's inside your head, you might as well be dead

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
these guys are so upbeat and funny. this is on of their best songs. [spunge] rocks.
