How it all began
If truth to be told
Had a master plan
Now I rule the world
Took them by surprised
Worked my way up hill
They looked into my eyes
I became invincible

No one can stop me for only I am in control
If you want me you'd better contact my people

In my crown, I am king
I love their endless worshiping
I am raw, a dinosaur
But I will never be extinct

So don't mess with me
I'll shoot you down
Don't mess with me

Show me sex appeal
Get on your hands and knees
Forget about the kneel
It's best to keep me pleased
Imagine, if you will
A meet on the block
I've got time to kill
So how about a quick fuck?

I've cum it's been fun but won't you please disappear
Something tells me that you can't further my career

In my crown, I am king
I love their endless worshiping
I am raw, a dinosaur
But I will never be extinct

Don't mess with me
I'll shoot you down
Don't mess with me

'Cause all your heads are gonna roll
I've made your misery my goal
So if you want survival
Kneel on my arrival
For this is how I rule the world

No one can stop me for only I am in control
And if you want me you better contact my people

See my crown, I am king
You'll love the endless worshiping
I am raw, a dinosaur
But I will never be extinct

So don't mess with me
I'll shoot you down
Don't mess with me
I'll knock you down
Don't mess with me
I'll shoot you down
Don't mess with me

    Great song. Power hungry person has all the power in the world and loves it.

    Perfect description of a narcissistic person. They have an illusion of power. Google Narcissism and you will get a good description of this disorder.

    I would say more of a psychopath than a narcissist - perhaps both.

    I think the person this song is directed at is someone who was in a relationship with the singer. But now the singer has gotten bored with them, ie: "I've come, it's been fun, but won't you please disappear?" Alternatively, the singer has been using them, and can't get any more out of them, be it pleasure or anything else - "Something tells me that you can't further my career". Possibly, this person is power-hungry and uses people like the one they are singing to to get more power. And it works. If they are king, they may reason, they make a person think they can be his queen, and then play them for a sucker. And they get away with it - "Had a master plan, now I rule the world..." and "No one can stop me".

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
