I see, through thirty
Getting older, every day
My soul drawing pictures
Of innocent times
Can you add, color, inside these lines

I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Don't want to live in a dream one more day

I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Don't want to live in a dream one more day

Sure, if we change our perspective
I'm certain I will change today
I'm certain it will change our ways
When things fall into place

I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Don't want to live in a dream one more day
(x4)

Take me somewhere
Don't want to live in a dream one more day
(x2)

    I think it's all about Anders wanting his daughter to give him a direction, and help him finding which path to walk in life.

    He's "rushing through thirty", days are passing by and he still feels that something is lacking in his life...he needs someone to add colours inside the lines he drew [great metaphor].

    His daughter should change his perspective, the way he used to see things...maybe this time thing would be finally settled [I guess that by the time he wrote these lyrics his daughter wasn't born yet, and he lived with doubts and trepidation the moments before the birth].

    Anders wants her to lead him, 'cause he's tired of living in this dream...yes, he's rich and famous, he's a popular singer and he's living the dream of a million people. But who cares if you're not happy? Now he needs something else...he needs calm and balance, another reason to live. He just wants to be somewhere else, no matter where, but finally in harmony with his life.

    I don't know, there's something in Anders' voice that gives me thrills...one of the most expressive voices in metal, in my opinion. This song's absolutely poignant, nothing more to say. _

    i think what he says in that stanza after through is something about 30, maybe age 30 i think he says..."i see through thirty"

    my corrections: first line: Rushing, through thirty

    yes i do believe it means age as all the members seem to be around 30.

    second verse: Sure, it would change my perspective Im certain I will change today Im certain it will change our ways When things fall into place

    So im guessing this song is about the character waiting for the right person to come along to take him away.

    Apparently the song is about his kid. In the album thanks part, Anders mentions his kid as his clarity. Saw them live a few nights ago, they only did 3 songs off this new album but it was awesome!

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”

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
