The Arms of Sorrow

Killswitch Engage

Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (delinquish)
Isn't much made
Crawling back into the dark

Running, always running
into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Building descending
Into the arms of sorrow

There must be serenity

The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Buildin,g descending
Into the arms of sorrow

The demons
of my own design
This horror must not remain

Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Building, descending
Into the arms of sorrow

There must be serenity
There must be deliverance
Deeper I'm falling
Building, descending

    My Interpretation

    I find this song to mean that this man lost his woman that was his life to his own mistakes . He cant stand what has happened and cant find solace without her anymore. he wishes dearly for it back

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/
