Men of the Earth
You have soiled you're so foul
With lips of infected sullen
You will indulge yourself

So digest your consequences
The Serpent's venom runs inside of you
Your lust, desire will blind your senses
Whirlwinds of disaster for you
(For you)

Remove yourself
And take your breath away
Rebuild yourself
Before you fall away

And I will lift you from the bottom
And my hope will fade away
I must pick you up
So you can survive the day

Touch what you can't have
While I have what you can't touch for now
My friend, all of this will turn to ash

Who is your God?
Or is it a Devil?
Igniting your catastrophe
Your spine will bend
Spiritual anatomy

Remove yourself
And take your breath away
Rebuild yourself
Before you fall away

And I will lift you from the bottom
And my hope will fade away
I must pick you up
So you can survive the day

Rebuild who you are
And stay away
Remove all your scars
Stay away

Will you stay away

But you won't remove yourself

Remove yourself
And take your breath away
Rebuild yourself
Before you fall away

And I will lift you from the bottom
And my hope will fade away
I must pick you up
So you can survive the day

Remove yourself

    My Interpretation

    As someone who lost his best friend to a heroin overdose, many of these lyrics resonate with me. To me this song seems to be written from the point of view of someone who is offering their support to a loved one suffering from addiction.

    I'm also fairly certain the lyric is "my hope won't fade away," as "my hope will fade away" seems to betray the song's message.

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/
