(There is no war,
If you're already dead
There is no truth,
If you just use your head
There is no fair,
If it's all that you lack
If it's all in your back,
If it's all in your back)

I'm riding down
The highway of fallen kings
'Tires hiss
As the engine screams
I'm like a fugitive alien
On the run
But nobody can tell me
What I'm running from
What am I running from?

I am the ghost
That she passes through
She's the choice
I can never chose
When am I going to find my peace?
When am I going to know?
When am I going to know?

What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
I'm just a ghost on the highway
What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
I'm just a ghost on the highway
Of fallen kings, kings...

(There is no war,
If you're already dead
There is no truth,
If you just use your head
If you just use your head...)

What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
I'm just a ghost on the highway
What am I gonna do now?
I'm already too far down
When am I gonna be free?
When am I gonna be free?

    In my sole opinion, it sounds like the guy is stuck in a relationship, or maybe even more possible, a marriage that he doesn't want or shouldn't be in, so he feels like he is trapped. It could even be with a girl who has a past with many other guys (fallen kings). The guy feels used in a way, whether financially or emotionally, maybe physically (I am the ghost she passes through). The overall meaning of the song comes down to the guy trying to figure everything out in the situation.

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/

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.
