(Jonathan Davis)

I am watching the rise and fall of my salvation
There's so much shit around me
Such a lack of compassion
I thought it would be fun and games (it would be fun and games)
Instead it's all the same (it's all the same)
I want something to do
Need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not
again (make me bad)
It's quite decieving as I'm feeling the flesh, make
me bad (make me bad)
(x2)

(Robert Smith)

Yesterday I got so lonely
I felt like I could die
Yesterday away from you
It made me want to cry

Go on, go on, just walk away
Go on, go on, you're choice is made
Go on, go on, and disappear
Go on, go on, away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn�t be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside

Come back, come back, don�t walk away
Come back, come back, come back today
Come back, come back, why can�t you see?
Come back, come back, come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn�t be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

(JD)

All I'd do is look for you
I need my fix, you need it to
Just to get some sort of attention, attention

What does it mean to you? (what does it mean to you?)
For me its something I just do (I just so)
I want something
I need to feel the sickness in you

I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not
again (make me bad)
It's quite decieving as I'm feeling the flesh, make me bad (make me bad)

I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not
again (make me bad)
It's quite decieving as I'm feeling the flesh, make me bad

(JD)
Doesn't make me bad (x4)
(RS)
Come back, come back, don't walk away
Come back, come back, come back today
Why can't you see?
Come back, come back to me

(JD) Without you (x4)
(RS) Make me bad (x3)

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
