Left in the darkness
Here on your own
Woke up a memory
Feeling the pain
You cannot deny it
There's nothing to say
It's all that you need to find the way

Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring it on today!

You can't live without the fire
It's the heat that makes you strong
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way
You can hide what lies inside you
It's the only thing you know
You're embracing that, never walk away
Don't walk away

Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

Raised in this madness, you're on your own
It made you fearless, nothing to lose
Dreams are a drug here, they get in your way
That's what you need to fight day by day

Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring it on today!

You can't live without the fire
It's the heat that makes you strong
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way
You can hide what lies inside you
It's the only thing you know
You're embracing that, never walk away
Don't walk away

You need not to fear us
unless you're a dark heart
a vile one, who preys on the innocent
I promise, you can't hide forever in the empty darkness
for we'll hunt you down
like the animals you are
and pull you in the very bowels of hell

Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring it on today!

You can't live without the fire
It's the heat that makes you strong
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way
You can hide what lies inside you
It's the only thing you know
You're embracing that, never walk away
Don't walk away

Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

    My Interpretation

    Pretty much telling the the listener that they have a purpose in life; a purpose that you have to fight an uphill battle to obtain, but one that you mustn't abandon and the fight to obtain it will make you stronger.

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/

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.
