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.
One more day down these stairs
His room is cold now and it hurts like hell
He holds tight, he stares
It's almost over and it's running through his head
They don't know me,
They don't know more than I show
She's walking up to him so slowly
It's about time, it's about time to fly away but wait
This one is different 'cause she's lonely
Fold your wings, you'll need them more one day
One more smile, one more bed
Her eyes are dark now and they hurt like hell
She's so still, she's dead
She knows it's over, she holds her head and says
They can't love me,
They can't love what I don't show
He's walking up to her so slowly
It's about time, it's about time to fly away but wait
This one is different 'cause he's lonely
Fold your wings, you'll need them more
There have been too many times
When I've drowned you with these perfect lines
And you've heard me say that I can cure you
This morning I woke up with this overwhelming fear of love
And I'm not sure if I can resurrect you
Now I'm walking up to you so slowly
It's about time, it's about time to fly away but wait
I swear it's different 'cause I'm lonely
Fold your wings, you'll need them more one day
His room is cold now and it hurts like hell
He holds tight, he stares
It's almost over and it's running through his head
They don't know me,
They don't know more than I show
She's walking up to him so slowly
It's about time, it's about time to fly away but wait
This one is different 'cause she's lonely
Fold your wings, you'll need them more one day
One more smile, one more bed
Her eyes are dark now and they hurt like hell
She's so still, she's dead
She knows it's over, she holds her head and says
They can't love me,
They can't love what I don't show
He's walking up to her so slowly
It's about time, it's about time to fly away but wait
This one is different 'cause he's lonely
Fold your wings, you'll need them more
There have been too many times
When I've drowned you with these perfect lines
And you've heard me say that I can cure you
This morning I woke up with this overwhelming fear of love
And I'm not sure if I can resurrect you
Now I'm walking up to you so slowly
It's about time, it's about time to fly away but wait
I swear it's different 'cause I'm lonely
Fold your wings, you'll need them more one day

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

Little Feat
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”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
