This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Such light flooded beauty
Such broad frigid darkness
But if at the threshold, can't we find a bland calm?
and such small humble quiet
such splendorous crescendoes
But if at the threshold, don’t we leak half-spoken psalms?
Or will the world always beckon from on defined side
and must I always lie in the darkness to wait for the light?
The light of day or of glad heart and mind or just any kind, merciful beacon
like waking from time passed so easily by sleeping
But this wakeful mind can project its own beam
It's a sorry spotlight on the ticking time stream
Wrists and walls full of clocks always reminding me to count moments and deeds like a coin currency
And I'm so broke, so spent, yet wakeful
Embarrassed to be bored
Why can't somersault I inward towards those pastures of gold?
I thought we had just two earth's for irises, and a conscious light that shines through projecting this world onto nothingness...
they said, "retreat from the dark world, into that light. Such a vast, such a patiently obvious timelessness!"
But my eyes are aging with each menacing tick
and more so without sleep, these bloodshot webs are woven so thick
And this world is dying, and for it I'm lovesick
Bu then I must have dozed off
Because I woke to write this.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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/

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.
