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.
Pretty girls, they have it easy
Living the strawberry kiwi life.
Ah
Me, I just fill up on coffee
Let the caffeine do the talking, yeah
Ah
Well I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you'd been mine.
Well if I was an english teacher
I probably could get you to dance with me
yeah,
Cause Robert Frost is in your wallet
The "Road Less . . ." Whatever-you-call-it
oh,
And I'll always miss you
And I'll always wish you'd been mine
mmh
And love, I'm afraid, that after tonight
There won't be a way to see you
But just for the sake of our storyline
I'll wait a day to break the bad news
oh, oh
So I'll buy myself a cheap apartment
And I'll buy my heart a secret compartment
Ah, yeah
And when your memory starts to surface
I'll toast to mistakes made on purpose
yeah, oh
Well I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you'd been mine
Ah
Well it takes an idealist to know one
And me and you, we had that going for us
yeah
And we the dreamers chase forever
So at least yeah now we'll be together
Oh, I guess
Well I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you'd been mine.
I'll always miss you and I'll always wish you'd been mine.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Those are my favorite lines as well. It's such a beautiful song! One of my favorites on the album! The song to me is about wishing "you had been mine" and that although it's pointless to wish now, you can still dream.
