My heart is a weapon of war
My voice is my weapon of choice

An eye for an eye,
a heart for a heart,
a soul for a soul.
We fight for the dream,
we fight to the death,
we fight for control.

For there is no such thing as justice,
all the best that we can hope for is revenge:
A hostile takeover,
an absolute rebellion to the end.
This is our battle cry
I’m giving you a head start,
you’re going to need it,
’cause I fight like a girl

I’ll get my revenge on the world or a least 49% of the people in it
And if I wake up with blood on my hands,
well, I know that you’ll understand,
’cause I fight like a girl.

We are under attack
What is the body count? I’ve lost track
If nobody’s mentioned how this will end, then I’ll be the first
there are more of US than there are of YOU, so show me your worst

For there is no such thing as justice,
all the best that we can hope for is revenge:
A hostile takeover,
an absolute rebellion to the end.
This is our battle cry
I’m giving you a head start,
you’re going to need it,
’cause I fight like a girl

I’ll get my revenge on the world or a least 49% of the people in it
And if I wake up with blood on my hands,
well, I know that you’ll understand,
’cause I fight like a girl.

It’s so easy to kill,
this I learned by watching you
If I have to, I will,
it’s not pretty but it’s true
I am through lying still,
just a body to be
beaten, fucked, and if I’m lucky, left for dead,
so WHO’S scary now?
No mercy, it's a bit too late
The game is on, don't run, don't hide, don't wait
‘Cause if we’ve got no honor,
then we’ve got no shame,
if it’s in self-defense,
then we will take no blame
This is our battlecry
even if you’re only a boy,
you can
FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!

‘Cause I fight like a girl,
I’ll get my revenge on the world (or at least 49% of the people in it),
and if I end up with blood on my hands
Well, I know, that you’ll understand,
’cause I fight like a girl.

    My Interpretation

    The album FLAG is a story of a group of women stuck in an insane asylum who decide they want to get free. They see it as starting an all out war, and this could be them gathering their morale, for the war.

    Outside of the story idea, this song, as well as the whole album contains some serious feminist beliefs and uses the treatment of women in the 1800's to justify it. Which is arguable about how the treatment of women, especially those with mental disorders has 'improved'.

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/

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.
