The 80's Song

Underoath

I've been up at this all night long
I've been
drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe
place
And its time for us to leave

Time is running,
is running on empty and the gas is running out
I've
decided that tonight is the night
That I set love
aside
Speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've
seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my
dreams
Hoping this would take you home

My knuckles
have turned to white
There's no turning back
tonight
So kiss me one last time

Around this turn
where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all
gather
To remember such a day where the flames grew as high
as trees
And the world stopped for you and me

My
knuckles have turned white
There's no turning back
tonight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes

My
knuckles have turned white
There's no turning back
tonight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes

I
will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights
of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent
here

Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my
sleep
Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my
sleep

Glass shatters and comes to a halt(Drowning in my
sleep I'm drowning in my sleep)
I thought we'd be
there by now(Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my
sleep)
I thought it would be so much quicker than
this(Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my
sleep)

Pain has never been so brilliant(Drowning in my
sleep I'm drowning in my sleep)
I made sure you were
buckled in(Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my
sleep)
Now you can walk hand in hand, hand in hand with
him(Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my
sleep)

My knuckles have turned white
There's
no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your
eyes

My knuckles have turned white
There's no
turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your
eyes

    The name of the song comes from The lord of the rings when Bilbo says it in the fellowship of the ring

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
