Green shadow, water weight all over-all over me
The end will shelter me away
Can we meet again, meet and meet and meet again
Can ya fill the can if ya can't fill me?

Who ya following?
Who ya starting to move like?
Who ya falling for, who ya falling for?
Whose lies?
Who ya following, who ya falling for?
This sound's on your side

Secret blue purple pink and green right over it
Hold on 'cuz the coldest hasn't fought yet
Well if we meet again, meet and meet and meet again
Can ya catch the can if you can't will it?

How will you want something to hit with
Spinning again and again and again and again
What's your crime
What's your crime
Well how will you want
How will she fall
How will she spin
She's spinning again and again and again and again
What's your crime
What's your, what's your, what's your, what's your
What's your crime, crime, crime
What's your, what's your, what's your, what's your
What's your crime

    This song is about an unrequited love. She's in love with a man who once loved her but is now beginning to fall in love with someone else. I think she is trying to commit suicide by drowning herself in a pool one night, believing that ending her life will save her from her own pain and anger. I think the can represents their old love that used to be filled with sweets of many colors, kind of packed away in a fridge, and slowly it started emptying. When it finally emptied they started playing a symbolic game of kick the can with each other. Kind of a weird interpretation I know but it just makes sense to me

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.

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/
