You never listen to me
You cannot look me in the eyes
And i have struggled to see
Why it's so easy to push me aside
I no longer believe
That you were ever on my side
How could you know what i need
When I'm the last thing on your mind

Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
Everything goes over your head
So disconnected
You got me hanging by a thread
So disconnected
When will this cycle end

You don't really know me
I don't think you've ever even tried
Put on the same routine
And so you never have the time
What do you want me to be
Don't you want me in your life
I feel so incomplete
You left me too far behind

Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
Everything goes over your head
So disconnected
You got me hanging by a thread
So disconnected
When will this cycle end

It's to hard to just move on
It's easier said than done
It's too hard to just move on
It's easier said than done
It's too hard to just move on
It's easier said than done

Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
Everything goes over your head
So disconnected
You got me hanging by a thread
So disconnected
When will this cycle end

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
When will this cycle end
(so disconnected, so disconnected)
When will this cycle end

    These two sections of lyrics pretty much explain what my relationship is like with my ex...

    "You never listen to me, you cannot look me in the eyes and I have struggled to see, why it’s so easy to push me aside I no longer believe that you were ever on my side, how could you know what I need? When I am the last thing on your mind"

    The two main parts are "so easy to push me aside" and "the last thing on your mind". She says that I mean a lot and I'm her best friend, but never really shows me or makes me feel that I am what she says. I get pushed away by her for other things and sometimes I feel like she doesn’t think of me at all.

    "You don't really know me I don't think you ever even tried, we're on the same routine and still you never have the time. Who do you want me to be? And do you want me in your life? I feel so incomplete, you left me too far behind"

    The key part in this section is "do you want me in your life", It doesn’t feel that she want me in her life basically.

    I think on the fourth "so disconnected...." it is "So disconnected, when will the cycle end"

    God who typed these lyrics? Comon ppl, take some time to neat and actually put the right lyrics... Anyways, this is the song that made Trapt my favorite band. Its not my fav anymore, but this is the one that got me. Its so awesome. I think its about, not neccisarily a romantic relationship, but with any1. Some1 wasnt listening to him. Its about someone being discconected with reality. Its someone arguing with him and not listening to a word he has to say. Thats my two cents neways.

    Correct lyrics: You never listen to me, You cannot look me in the eyes and I have struggled to see, why its so easy to push me aside I no longer believe that you were ever on my side How could you know what I need? When I am the last thing on your mind

    (Chorus) Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    You don't really know me I don't think you ever even tried We're on the same routine and still you never have the time Who do you want me to be? and do you want me in your life? I feel so incomplete, you left me too far behind

    (Chorus) Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    It's too hard to just move on It's easier said then done (x3)

    (Chorus) Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    I rather think this song is about a relationship or a friendship in which one of the partners turned away but never really left the other. So the relation turned to a kind of loveless routine ("We're on the same routine and still you never have the time") because no-one of the two wants to be the one to end the relation/friendship. ("When will this cycle end?") But by living this kind of not-realtin (or however you like to call it) the lyrical I gets quite bitter and begins to doubt if there was ever a real relationship between the two.

    I feel you nike or and1. This chick I thought was really interested in me. Tries to tell me She loves me, she wants me, she wants things back to the way they were before. And I'm sitting her trying to explain to her while she's dating some other guy. That I love her more than anything and what not. And she tells me she's sorry and what not. Yet she won't prove shit to me. She keeps running back to him and he's probably cheating on her as well. And I feel I'm the last thing on her mind anymore. She never listens to me on anything. Tried helping her fix her goddamn problems all the time. Ugh.

    Anyways this is what I think it means. It's the same shit I'm going through with my so called ex/fling?

    You never listen to me, You cannot look me in the eyes and I have struggled to see, why its so easy to push me aside I no longer believe that you were ever on my side How could you know what I need? When I am the last thing on your mind

    I try telling her how much I love her and what not. And she can't even see me, she has her eyes in some other direction it feels. I can't understand why she keeps pushing me aside when I keep getting back up to prove to her over and over again. I cannot feel that I can believe anymore or anything about how she feels because she won't even prove shit to me. And she won't ever even bother to be with me like she so called proclaims to. Then she's like you should be with someone lse and chasing someone else. How can she understand what I want when she can't even think of how what I want or how I feel about her. When I'm right there in front of me.

    So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    I'm always going through maybe she will finally but she never does. She tells me she does then changes her mind and goes back to him every time and it causes me to smoke cigs again when I'm trying to quit. It's so goddamn stressful. She acts like she does but she doesn't do nothing. And I'm always at the short end of things. I don't know what to do anymore with her. Wondering when will she quit playing these fucking head games and start proving instead of talking it.

    You don't really know me I don't think you ever even tried We're on the same routine and still you never have the time Who do you want me to be? and do you want me in your life? I feel so incomplete, you left me too far behind

    She doesn't even seem to really know me at all. Cause if she did she would see everything I'm saying and proving to her. She told me a few months ago that she was in love with some other guy and her ex still. Broke my trust because I thought I was the only person she loved. Talked about wanting to gain my trust to be a good girlfriend to me everytime I asked and yet when some other dude ask she says yes. And told me the reason was because didn't hear me ask her or some bullshit like that. She wants me in her life but doesn't. And I'm sitting here wondering if she really wants me in her life or is she just using me for the gain. I feel incomplete because she's broken my black broken heart over and over because she leds me on. And by dating that other douche bag. I feel left behind.

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/

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.
