Come on in
It's a scary place to be, I know
That you shouldn't have to sleep here alone.

So don't look behind you,
It has been so many years since you lost your hope.
But you don't have to let me go,
I'm right behind you.

I know you never said goodbye
When I died.

But we're not done
We're waking up the dead.
The memories in your head are still not loud enough, enough, enough.
But we're not done,
We're waking up the dead.
And we're not giving up.

Now you're walking through your bedroom door
You get the feeling that you're not along?
I'm right beside you.

Keep your eyes closed
Or you just might see my ghost.
I'll always find you.

I know you never said goodbye
The day I died.

But we're not done
We're waking up the dead.
The memories in your head are still not loud enough, enough, enough.
But we're not done,
We're waking up the dead.
And we're not giving up.

Wake up, wake up
You know you're not alone.
I know you never said goodbye.
I know how goddamn hard you tried
To save me from this godforsaken life.
And I know we all die.

But we're not done
We're waking up the dead.
The memories in your head are still not loud enough, enough, enough.
But we're not done,
We're waking up the dead.
And we're not giving up.

No we're not done,
No we're not done.
And we're not giving up.

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.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
