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.
The fields are near and I won't trust the air with secrets
I can't stop holding this treasure in my arms
For all the water in the ocean could never turn
This swan's legs from black to white
Let them say, let them say
Let them say what they please
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
We went on drinking, celebrating something
I looked at you and said that I'm forever yours
You looked at me and said, oh, the idea of being in love
The idea, the idea of being forever yours
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
Screaming from the inside of me, a lonely and pleading phantasm
We only get what we see, gazing so desperately
Between the things that we fear, gazing so desperately
Elaborate delusions, we're watching segregating illusions
Between the things that we see, and the things that we fear
No, no, it won't make them disappear
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go, honey
I can't stop holding this treasure in my arms
For all the water in the ocean could never turn
This swan's legs from black to white
Let them say, let them say
Let them say what they please
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
We went on drinking, celebrating something
I looked at you and said that I'm forever yours
You looked at me and said, oh, the idea of being in love
The idea, the idea of being forever yours
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
Screaming from the inside of me, a lonely and pleading phantasm
We only get what we see, gazing so desperately
Between the things that we fear, gazing so desperately
Elaborate delusions, we're watching segregating illusions
Between the things that we see, and the things that we fear
No, no, it won't make them disappear
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you want me to let go, honey

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
if it seems self explanatory.. take the 5 minutes to write out what it means... or don't waste everyones time comment. seriously where are the moderators on this site anything not containing an explanation should be deleted. and so i'm not a hypocrite:
either a guy and a girl broke up and the guy isn't going to let go. but she loves someone else.
or they love each other and he's never letting her go, and she's saying she's in love with him.
probably wrong, but at least i attempted and didn't just say it was an awesome song -.- this is songMEANINGS not songOPINIONS
