And the tears fall like rain
Down my face again
All the words you wouldn't say
And the games you played with my unfoolish heart
Oh, I should've known this from the start

Oh, the winter and spring
Going in hand in hand just like my love and pain
How the thought of you cuts deep within the vein
Brand new skin stretched across scarred terrain

Said, I don't wanna be let down
I don't wanna live that life again
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Said, I don't wanna be let down
I don't wanna live my lies again
Don't wanna be led down the same old road

Oh

All those years down the drain
Love was not enough when you want everything
But what I gave to you and now the end must start
Oh, I should've listened to my heart

'Cause I don't wanna be let down
I don't wanna live that life again
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Said, I don't wanna be let down
I don't wanna live my lies again
Don't wanna be led down the same old road

'Cause I don't wanna be let down
I don't wanna live that life again
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Said, I don't wanna be let down
I don't wanna live my lies again
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Don't wanna be led down the same old road

    My Interpretation

    I think it's about being scared to invest yourself into a new relationship after the end of an old one. Being scared to trust again and not wanting to go through the pain again. Once the trust is broken it's almost impossible to get it back. When the one you love the most messes up, they mess you up to xxx

    My Opinion

    I can't believe no one's commented on this song yet!! It's amazing; while it's hard to rank the tracks on "Out of Ashes" this one would have to be top 5 or 6. The melody is amazing and Chester gets deep with the lyrics. I think this one might be touching on Chester's present and his divorce and stuff. Who knows! It's an awesome song anyway :)

    I'm a die hard LP fan, and this song is amazing. Its obviously about his divorce. He said so himself. He wrote this during the divorce, and when he had to finally record it it was difficult because he couldn't connect back to those old emotions he had at the time, since he's currently in love with Talinda. But anyways this song is beautiful, reminds me of my ex. All of Chesters music is beautiful. He truly is gifted. Music video is coming soon :)

    I can relate to this song. it seems to like he is reflecting back on bad times after coming through them. going into complete self destruction this is sort of a reflection and he is telling how he does not want to go through that experience again

Cajun Girl
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”

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/
