Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
What is the significance
In playing the part
A smiling tempermant
A sour tounge
You will see behind the shadows
They poison my eyes
Something more than weeping angels
Burn into my mind
I will protect you
I will protect you
I will protect you
I will protect you
Sinking on the way to us
Border to a part without a title
There's a part of me
In a part of you
And a little change
In a part of you
There's a part of me
In a part of you
And a little change
In a part of you
I will protect you
I will protect you (Someone's gotta keep you alive)
I will protect you
I will protect you (Someone's gotta keep you alive)
I will protect you
I will protect you (Someone's gotta keep you alive)
I will protect you
I will protect you
Close this hole
But I needed a change from you
Won't let go
But I needed a change
But I needed a change
There's a part of me
In a part of you
And a little change
In a part of you
There's a part of me
In a part of you
And a little change
In a part of you
I will protect you
I will protect you (Someone's gotta keep you alive)
I will protect you
I will protect you (Someone's gotta keep you alive)
I will protect you
I will protect you (Someone's gotta keep you alive)
I will protect you
I will protect you (Someone's gotta keep you alive)
Close this hole
But I needed a change from you
Close this hole
But I needed a change

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
The lyrics to the "new" ( aka better xD) version:
What is the significance in playing the part a smutty temperament a sour tongue can you see behind the shadows that poison my eyes swaying boys and weeping egos burn into my mind
I wont forget you I wont forget you I wont forget you I wont forget you
sinking on my way to rust boarder to a part without a title
there’s a part of me in a part of you in a little chain in a part of you there’s a part of me in a part of you in a little chain in a part of you
I wont forget you I wont forget you but I can’t pretend to but I can’t pretend to I wont forget you I wont forget you but I can’t pretend to but I can’t pretend to
Curse this heart but I needed a change from you Curse this soul but I needed a change but I needed a change
They came straight from Sonny
I love this so song much.
thanks for putting this up he's got such a great voice but it's difficult to understand sometimes
Oh, and despite the fact that I can't necessarily make them all out myself, this lyrics are SO wrong.
I think its "Sinking on the way to us wonder to far without a title "
nirvanafi if you can't distinguish them yourself, don't put other people down for trying? that's full up retarded.
anyway, beautiful song.
I think the chorus is "I will protect you, I will protect you"
♥ yea Gawjuzzzz song!! ♥ Like i always say... SONNY OWNS :D:D WOW doesnt he have the most incredable voice EVER yes it is a bit hard to understand, and the quality is *shizzle but most the lyrics are wrong here i no that ppl put effort into typing them but... if youre going to put lyrics up on a public sit you should atleast make sure they are right, well most of them
but its an awesome song and thats what counts!! Sonny is SOLO!!! WOOT WOOT yeaaa Sonny WeAll♥Ya!!
*song so much haha, I' can't type
where did sonny posted this lyrics? there are more of them there?
those definitely sound more right. ^^
@hahminaaa: No, you have it all wrong. LeaveThisTown's lyrics is correct. It's on Sonny's site.
In my opinion, the song is about leaving someone even though they're still in love. "Curse this heart, but I needed a change from you" He feels the need to leave, but he still loves the person.
