Eyes meet, you smile sweet
I blush, stare at my feet
So shy, glance up again
You smile, I melt within
Springtime's come.

Too shy to talk to you
Tell your friend I like you
I ask your friend
Do you like me too?
Springtime's fun.

My heart beats for you
Does your heart beat for me too?
I see me in your eyes
You smile, return my gaze
Crushing hard on you,
Springtime's fun.

Hand in hand
Shopping mall, Disneyland
Catch a flick at the Strand
Volleyball in the sand
Summer's come.

Play with the dog in the park
Capture the flag after dark
Roasting smores, chase the sparks
Can't get enough of you
Summer's fun.

My heart beats for you
Your heart beats for me too
I see me in your eyes
You see you in mine too
To you I will be true,
My Summer love.

Fourth of July in the park
Fireworks, after dark
In my life, you're the spark
Happy as a lark
Falling hard for you
My special love.

Two hearts beat as one
I hope you're the one
I see me in your eyes
You see you in mine too
Forever us, forever true,
My one great love.

Sitting on your driveway
Talking the night away
Fireflies in a firefight
All around your streetlight
Snuggle close, hold you tight
My forever love.

My heart beats for you
Your heart beats for two
I see me in your eyes
You smile, return my gaze

Cold chill, wind blows
Night falls, draw you close
So far, so close
Summer's gone.

Your heart beats for him
My heart's dead within
I see him in your eyes
Hurts way too much to cry

Light fades, love fails.
Leaves and dreams decay
Summer's dying day

Hopeless
Is more than I
Can feel
Alone in your
Embrace . . .

    Song Meaning

    This one's easy. We don't have to guess at the meaning. The band explains the meaning on its website:

    "The EP will feature eight songs, broken into four 2-song couplets. The EP is loosely based on Ecclesiastes, and tells the story of a young man's journey to true manhood. The tracks follow a young man who thinks he has everything in life, loses it all, despairs over the loss, tries to find meaning where it cannot be found, despairs that no meaning exists - and then finds the only true meaning in life.

    Track 2 is entitled "Unresolved." For music buffs, the title refers both to the lyrics and music, with the song intentionally not resolving to the root note of either key. (Yes, there is a subtle mid-song key change.) Unlike some of the songs that follow, the lyrics for Unresolved are simple and direct. Unresolved tells a story that is all too common and all too painful: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in like. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy finds all his worth and meaning in girl. Girl dumps boy for another guy. Boy is crushed. The end."

    The band also tells everybody that the band name comes from the lyrics to this song.

    There are a lot of subtle things going on in the lyrics. The song starts in spring, moves through summer, and ends when summer ends.

    The boy goes from a crush to love to falling hard to destroyed. "do you like me too?" "crushing hard on you" "can't get enough of you" "to you I will be true" "my special love" "my one great love" "my forever love" "alone"

    The girl goes from gazing at the boy to seeing herself in his eyes to love back to gazing to being gone. The sudden change from "two hearts beat as one" to just a gaze is one of life's most terrible feelings.

    The lyrics show an innocence in the love. The innocence seems intentionally disjointed from the crushed heart that results. Shy glances. The friend connection. Holding hands. Amusement park. Volleyball. Walking the dog. July 4th. Capture the flag. Smores. Late night talks. Then total emotional destruction.

    "alone in your embrace." The closing line is like a book suddenly ending on the next-to-last page. He's alone but still with her, sort of. They are physically close but emotionally separate. There HAS to be something more. The music also suggests that. Notice what the band site says about the music "intentionally" not resolving.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
