Chase faded days
With eyes that cannot see
I wanna feel it again
Washing over me
Discover all of you
One moment at a time
taste smell secret cell
Your soul it touches mine

I wanna feel up
Hope knows I need it this way
Like I'm walking on clouds
I can't come down
Even if you wanted me to
I can't come down
Even if you wanted me to

No one can stop me
I'm never satisfied
I take what I want
I refuse to be denied
Live in the moment
The future can disguise
It's starting to touch us
but I still can't touch the sky

I wanna feel up
Hope knows I need it this way
Like I'm walking on clouds
I can't come down
Even if you wanted me to
I can't come down
Even if you wanted me to

    I like your take on the "selfish sex"

    but my interpretation of the song is that Kirsty is describing the amazing surreal feeling of having a big crush on someone. Wanting to know everything about them, and not giving up until she actually gets "them", in addition the "walking on clouds" hook is describing her emotional high from this "crush" that she is feeling.

    I had this same feeling.. and can relate to the lyrics. Anyway songs like this can be interpreted in many ways, this was my interpretation :)

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
