I was your boyfriend when we were 15, it's the happiest that I've ever been
Even though we didn't understand how to do much more than just hold hands
There's so much about you I miss, the clumsy way we used to kiss
I wish I'd convinced you you'd made a mistake, if memory serves we're still on a break
Other girls went and other girls came, I can't get over my old flame

I'm still in love with, Emily Kane
Every girl I've seen since looks just like you when I squint
I know you said it's for the best, I still don't understand why you left
There's so much about you I miss, every time I see a couple kiss

I hope this song finds you fame, I want school kids on busses singing your name
Other girls went and other girls came, I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with, Emily Kane
I don't even know where she lives

I've not seen her in ten years, nine months, three weeks
Four days, six hours, thirteen minutes, five seconds
Other girls went and other girls came, I can't get over my old flame
All my friends think I'm insane, I'm still in love with Emily Kane
There's a beast in my soul that can't be tamed, I'm still in love with Emily Kane

I thought I'd never love again, I'm still in love with Emily Kane
The torch I hold is always a flame, I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I hope this song finds you fame, I want school kids on busses singing your name
All my friends think I'm insane, I'm still in love with Emily Kane

Emily Kane, Emily Kane, Emily Kane

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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/

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.
