Nas grandes cidades do pequeno dia-a-dia
O medo nos leva a tudo, sobretudo a fantasia
Então erguemos muros que nos dão a garantia
De que morreremos cheios de uma vida tão vazia
Então erguemos muros que nos dão a garantia
De que morreremos cheios de uma vida tão vazia

Nas grandes cidades de um país tão violento
Os muros e as grades nos protegem de quase tudo
Mas o quase tudo quase sempre é quase nada
E nada nos protege de uma vida sem sentido
O quase tudo quase sempre é quase nada
E nada nos protege de uma vida sem sentido

Um dia super, uma noite super
Uma vida superficial
Entre as sombras, entre as sobras
Da nossa escassez

Um dia super, uma noite super
Uma vida superficial
Entre cobras, entre escombros
Da nossa solidez

Nas grandes cidades de um país tão irreal
Os muros e as grades
Nos protegem de nosso próprio mal
Levamos uma vida que não nos leva a nada
Levamos muito tempo pra descobrir
Que não é por aí não é por nada não
Não, não, não pode ser é claro que não é, será? (Será?)

Meninos de rua, delírios de ruína
Violência nua e crua, verdade clandestina
Delírios de ruína, delitos e delícias
Violência travestida, faz seu trottoir
Em armas de brinquedo, medo de brincar
Em anúncios luminosos, lâminas de barbear

Um dia super e uma noite super
Uma vida superficial
Entre as sombras, entre as sobras
Da nossa escassez

Um dia super, uma noite super
Uma vida superficial
Entre cobras, entre escombros
Da nossa solidez

Viver assim é um absurdo (como outro qualquer)
Como tentar um suicídio (ou amar uma mulher)
Viver assim é um absurdo (como outro qualquer)
Como lutar pelo poder (lutar como puder)

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
