Hey!
What do you say
I got a fifty million dollar contract
Coming my way
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true

So don't think I know what's wrong
You're lacking out of wit and stories
But you can't push us down
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true

Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
You've been missing
You're feeling shitty, I don't feel no pity
Without me you're nothing at all

Hey!
I got a fifty million dollar contract
Coming my way
This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true

Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
With a mission
You're feeling shitty, I don't feel no pity
Without me you're nothing at all

This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true

To all you liars
You will be tired
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told

Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
You've been missing
You're feeling shitty, I don't feel no pity
Without me you're nothing at all

Hey Baby! We're the one, two, three, four, five
With a mission
To all you liars
You will be tired
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told

This song is not for you
Only for people living like we do
And not for the true
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told
Don't believe in what they say
And what you've always been told

    i first heard living in america and then this one.. so both seem somewhat anti-america... and the video for this one had a flashing sign in the backgroundthat says america.. my initial thought was that it was about immigrants and how the immigrants make the country... yeah.. great song!

    i think this song is a joke against those elitist artists who brag and sing about money "this song is not for you only for people living like we do and not for the true"

    No, I don't think so. "This song is (...) only for people living like we do and not for the true" - I take the first line literally and then this one signifies that the "true" fans can go f**k themselves. All those who don't want their favorite bands to become successfull, who don't want the music to be accessible for "mainstream" people.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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/

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
