You’re looking for something to do and something to be
Look to your heroes and buy that romantic junkie fantasy
You see some glory in their wasted lives
You need some purpose to waste your time

Put a needle in your vein to fill that void and kill that pain
you’re trying so hard to hide
Junkie with your arms scarred, thinking that your life’s so hard
But Junkie, your life is no big deal, no big deal
It’s just that it’s so sad to see you caught up in your own misery
You waste your mind to waste your time, waste your time

Turns out one day all your money’s gone
Lie to your friends when they ask what’s wrong
Turns out one day all your money’s gone
And lie to your friends when they ask what’s wrong

I wonder where everyone went
Their friends lost and their savings spent
The youthful generation that fucked up then
I don’t want to see it happen again

Put a needle in your vein to fill that void and kill that pain
you’re trying so hard to hide
Junkie with your arms scarred, thinking that your life’s so hard
But Junkie, your life is no big deal, no big deal
It’s just that it’s so sad to see you caught up in your own misery
You waste your mind to waste your time, waste your time

Looking for identity or just a crutch (move on)
Choose something else instead of shooting up on PCP too much
Looking for identity or just a crutch
Choose something else instead of shooting up on PCP too much

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/
