Red is the colour of blood when I cut myself,
and im bleeding, but that's not a bad thing,
Red is the colour of puppies and sports cars
a strong symbol of liveliness,
Red is the colour of the heart that I love you with,
That I draw for you, everytime I see you,
It's the colour of stickered up items,
That you can purchase from most major stores.
I look to the king, im filling in an outline,
When it strikes me that, I don't know what gold is
Blue is the colour of the ink that I'm writing with,
Painting pictures of what I'm, percieving,
Blue is the colour of the planet we live upon,
Even though ME I always thought it was green,
Blue is a feeling people sing songs about,
Wrote three chords about, when they're feeling down,
Look to the sky, don't feel blue, im just happy i'm looking at you,
I'm swimming in oceans, im scaling some trees,
Effortless it seems, I know where home is,
No, No, No
There is a colour that i've never seen before, my friends got it inside his mind
It must be a completely new colour, cos there's no possible way to describe it
Maybe the colour of the spaces between us, and the colour of brand new ideas,
It's the colour my friends thinking of, I've been seeing this colour for years,
I take a deep breathe, and I return to the king
When I realise, I know what gold is
Im spiraling backwards
Through pallets and tones
The Earth carries them
We are home

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
