Thirty miles below the face of the earth the seconds tick with the crack of the whip
We never should have been so eager to embrace this abyss
Sometimes the sea tends to rumble and we're forced to abandon our ships
Feel the swelling of retreat as the autumn resists
Blood coming out, time is running out

Dragged down by the dayshift
When you're dealing with defeat you know you gotta be patient
The time comes when you face it and get back to basics
This ice age is a waste pit
We tried to wipe it out but it's becoming contagious
The time comes when you face it and get back to basics

You gotta never give it up

I never said I wasn't ready for the end; I just refuse to be buried like this
I guess I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six
Sometimes the land tends to crumble and we're forced to crawl on our fists
The belly of the beast is a bottomless pit
Blood coming out, time is running out

Dragged down by the dayshift
When you're dealing with defeat you know you gotta be patient
The time comes when you face it and get back to basics
This ice age is a waste pit
We tried to wipe it out but it's becoming contagious
The time comes when you face it and get back to basics

You gotta never give it up

So here's the story or so I'm told
It starts weary but finishes bold:
They'll never respect you if you fold

So here's the story or so I'm told
It starts out warm but finishes cold:
They'll never respect you if you fold

From the incisions to the drawn out operations
From the head on collisions to the ongoing complications
Now I'm not saying premonition leads to devastation
We just get held up in the hesitation
But count your blessings
Sometimes the best things come from out of desperation

We've run from the water, we've hid from the wind
We've plunged from the slaughter and lived from within
And I don't care if it sounds threatening, I swear I'm not settling

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
