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.
Look how you've grown,
it's etched in skin and bone,
dressed in make-up
and bleached out in the roses.
That¹s hollow and tasteless,
where spirits make love and pretty corpses hold their brides.
Do you know I'd never hurt you?
(I loved you so much, we are not broken, we are deathless.)
So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.
Few words can kill me,
they inspire in your hands!
The sun outside these glass-shaped walls
will burn the flesh off paper dolls,
my lips and tongue they bleed...
We won¹t fall, we¹ll be together,
just the two of us.
That¹s hollow and breathless,
it kills me slowly,
I¹m lost and lonely!
Do you know I'd never hurt you?
(I loved you so much, we are not broken, we are deathless.)
So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.
I am so sorry,
so take this rose
take this rose
and break this bottle of aged pills,
taste the blue ones
and we will sleep through December.
Awake to the birth of an Angel,
she has your eyes,
and I will hide them, don't worry.
And soon she will grow,
I can¹t believe this is all my fault,
yeah, soon she will grow,
unbury me, and put me back together again.
Taste it!
Sad rose for life
because I am already dead!
So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.
So taste it and we will never be alone,
I¹ll take the first bite,
yeah, I am Ghost,
say goodnight to you,
my darling, my darling.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
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.
i reallly like this song a lot. i can't believe i'm the only one to comment on it.
