To Ashes

Earth Crisis

Deterioration accelerates
My kin a prisoner
Now the reaper
awaits
A demon encased
Inside of human skin
A profiteer that feeds
A plague
of addiction
There’s no option, There’s no recourse
There’s no other
way
Every meth lab burned
To ashes
Every meth lab burned
Crimson
flames
Against the darkened sky
The ultimate act of intervention
No other
option left but to retaliate
Drawn to attack the source
The origin
eradicated
Confronted with reptilian coldness
If not from me
Then someone
else will sell this
Never accept that this
Is just an act of fate
The angers
boiling down
Into absolute hate
Crimson flames
Against the darkened sky
The
ultimate act of intervention
No other option left but to retaliate
Drawn to
attack the source
The origin eradicated
Doused and set ablaze
Scales of
justice raised
Every meth lab burned
Crimson flames
Against the darkened
sky
The ultimate act of intervention
No other option left but to
retaliate
Drawn to attack the source
The origin eradicated

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
