Psycho

The Faint

I can't listen while I'm breathing fire,
I don't think straight when I get pissed off,
It'd be easier to just to calm down,
Cause I'm an asshole when I get called out.

Forget the words I said,
I was not myself,
I never really thought you were psycho,
I was just mad at being attacked,
I never really thought you were psycho.

There's talk, but then there's talk,
Where we get so convinced that the thoughts we've got,
Like lines, in black and white
The tail of the snake is in it's teeth tonight.

I thought for sure this time I was innocent,
And that the girl I loved had gone psycho,
I was just mad and feeling attacked,
I never really thought you were psycho.

I know I must have stressed you out,
I don't start fights, I make explosions,
It's be easier to just calm down,
But I'm an asshole when I get called out.

Forget the words I said,
I was not myself,
I never really thought you were psycho,
I was just mad at being attacked,
I never really thought you were psycho.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
