Prime-time in the living rooms
And how all the drapes are closed
Moonlight shinin' from above
(It) seems that everybody knows (that)

Oh ? something ain't right
Oh ? something ain't right

Well, god can turn the world around
And he can push it in the dirt
And he can tear it all apart
And he don't care who all gets hurt

Oh ? something ain't right
Oh ? something ain't right

There's a place where money grows on trees
(But) the only way to reach it's on your knees

c'mon down ? you old fart
Let's see if you have got a heart
It ain't true ? it's all lies
Are you the devil in disguise
I won't give up ? won't bow down
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down

Oh ? something ain't right
Oh ? something ain't right

Face to face ? man to man
I've seen the lord and you ain't him
It's our life ? it's our time
You don't care if we sink or swim

Oh ? something ain't right
Oh ? something ain't right

Twinkle twinkle twinkle little star
Who the hell now do you think you are?

Oh ? something ain't right
Oh ? something ain't right
Oh ? something ain't right
Oh ? something ain't right

    Looks like DB isn't a big fan of religion. Seems like a song ranting about God, and that something is not right with the whole situation and religion's effect on modern society.

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.

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/

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline

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.
