Dreaming nothing to do
Dreaming nothing to say
Can I say there's nothing to dream about
But something keep us moving away?

I said, "Land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh, oh, I need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be giving forever?
Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul"

Wind is all far I can see
When I'm feeling to strife
For there's something that's calling me
Oh, something that's so hard to find

I said, "Land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh, oh, I guess, I'll feel my ship is getting old
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul"

I said, "When you're alone there's not a sail in sight
There's a great sky and you may just try to take a life
Oh well, there once was a lady made me feel alright
But she couldn't stay, she just sailed away
Now this only waves to see me through the night"

Maybe I'll always be sad
And maybe there'll always be strife
Drifting alone with a saddened tone
Afloat in the ocean of life

I said, "Land ho, you're sailing ship on forever?
Oh, oh, I need some wind to take me to my goal
Land ho, will I be searching forever?
Oh, oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul"

Will I be sailing forever?
Will I be dreaming forever?
Will I be searching forever?
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever

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/
