All free will is gone
Automatic knowledge
Humans lead in leashes
Silent, untrue
All are subjects to
Automated liars
Broadcast feelings through
Machines that makes you

Wither away
Death of the soul
Indoctrinated in false grace

Bio-machinery
Mind and machinery
Fear now fuels the system
Bio-machinery

Target is the world
Structuring the madness
Terminating ancient
Concepts of truth
Power structure comes
Silent weapons fired
Quiet wars in minds
The damage is done

Wither away
Death of the soul
Indoctrinated in false grace

Bio-machinery
Mind and machinery
Fear now fuels the system
Bio-machinery

All hope that died must rise anew
By facing the passage of time
All that we've known was bound to drown
Before we could wake

Bio-machinery
Mind and machinery
Fear now fuels the system
Bio-machinery

    I don't think it's about cyborgs and literal bio-machinery. It's about the massive amount of media saturation present today, how television, biased news, the internet, even music affects every person, injecting a new philosophy or false reality into them every time they turn on the tv or click a mouse. A sort of mass hypnosis that we can see happening today. We (a lot of us) don't form our own ideas anymore; just get all our thoughts from technological broadcasting...Mind and machinery...

    Those are just my thoughts. It's a good message, really. And the song is great. Not your typical death metal song nowadays...

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/

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
