Maybe it's too late for an intellectual debate,
But a residue of confusion remains.

Changing with the times,
And amphetamine tortured minds
Are average the citizen's sources of pain.

Tell me what we're fighting forâ??
I don't remember anymore,
Only temporary reprieve

And the world might cease
If we fail to tame the beast
From the faith that you release
Comes an atheist peace.

Atheist peace.

Political forces ran
Political winds of discontent,
And the modern age emerged triumphantly.
But now that safety's gone,
And it's time to de-evolve
And relive the dark chapters of history

Tell me what we're fighting forâ??
No progress ever came from war,
Only a false sense of increase

And the world won't wait
For the truth upon a plate
But we're ready now to feast on an atheist peace.

Atheist peace

    I completely agree with the meaning of the song. I think relgion has its place, but people shouldn't care about what other people's beliefs are. A persons faith is personal to them and usually is not the same to each person. Personally I have a chirstian faith but I do not care what others believe. War is only caused by people who go hardcore into their religion and have seperate agenda along with it. I think government should be seperated from relgion but war would still happen becuase of that seperate agenda. I totally see where athiests come from and respect them. i share their scientific beliefs but i think a "intelligent creator" started everything off. I also agree with bad relgion when they say that organized relgion is bad, which it can easly go from innocent worship to hurting others easily.Bottom Line: People should belive what they believe and leave it at that and not try to oppress others with their beliefs. "Science without religion is lame, Religion without science is blind" Albert Einstein

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.

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”

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.

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.
