I'm really bad at the piano, but would you still listen to me
Would you understand at least three chords of it.

Theres something I never had a chance to say to you for so long now,
But I'm bad with words and it's kinda embarrassing so I made them into notes.

Even if my throat gets slashed and broken, even if I become diseased*,
I swear my life, for you, just for you, I'll keep on shouting.
I just decided.

    This song is incredible, and beautiful. The way that the piano is played, and the softness of his voice. Definitely something that I didn't expect.

    My Interpretation

    I think this translation is better:

    I'm not good at piano but, I hope you'll listen, It's only three chords, though, I hope it reaches you.

    There were always, always things I never said to you, But I'm no good at putting them into words, it's embarassing, so I put it in music-notes.

    Even if my throat is torn into shreds, even if I develop a polyp, For as long as I live, for you, I shout for you. So, I've decided now. I've decided.

    ~This song is ridiculously beautiful ^_^

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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/
