This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
[Beanie]
Uh, yeah, yeah, yo
Hey yo, I told you from the get'
Boo, what's mine's is yours
And I can put you in the seat
Over these mindless whores
So why competin' with this spineless boar
I mean look at G, he got all kinds of flaws
Sittin' in the spot wit the shit box
Rock's a sports center, playing Play Station
(Damn, sound like I'm player hatin')
But I ain't into that, I'm hard core intersex
Large born, click gone like the Internet
Ain't you something precious, get
Out them double Lex's
And them Sergio's here, lemme show you clothes
You're ear, double "c's",
Them jeans double "g's"
(Yo, I ain't gon' front)
You can get her what you want (What?)
[Chorus 1]
Baby girl what I need is what you want
(What I need is what you want)
I can buy you things
Spend my money on you girl
Cause it ain't no thing
Come here and get a taste of my love
(Come and get a taste of my love)
I got everything you need and more
What's mine is yours and girl I'll give you more
Girl it's all true
When you get me in the mood
I just wanna wine you and dine you
Ice you girl
Hit you off, wanna make you my girl
Cause every time your diamond shines
Girl, the world will know you're mine
Cause you got what I want
And girl, I got what you need
[Chorus 1]
I wanna freak you and baby when I'm through
You know you'll never be lonely
And always be loved
Have everything cause you're all I want
Cause as a man I'll come correct
Giving you from my respect
Cause you got the good love
And I got the stuff you need
[Chorus 1]
[Beanie]
Uh, uh, yeah, yeah
Every time I look at sis I got the
Stare and the slow gaze
I'm picturin' us first class, no show a day
Just sayin' no grass, no snow days
Look at me, hooks in me like the O'Jays
Lemme stop tripping and I ain't about trickin'
You got me busting checks and I
Ain't even busted yet
I told you from the jump, I ain't gonna front
It's all up to you boo, tell me what you want
[Chorus 2]
Girl I'll pay your bills if you
Freak me like I want
I will give you something you can feel
Whenever you want it
Girl I'll pay your bills if you
Freak me like I want
I will give you something you can feel
You just come and get it
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
Uh, yeah, yeah, yo
Hey yo, I told you from the get'
Boo, what's mine's is yours
And I can put you in the seat

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
