I wont cry myself to sleep, like a sucker
I wont cry myself to sleep, If I do I'll die
Now you fall a sleep with another, damn you.

Member how we use to escape for the summer?
Fireworks and sparklers would light up the black skies,
We'd hold on tight through our lives to each other.
Hello, hello were did you go?

We were two kids living life on the run,
Like the american dream.
Baby, nothing to lose
And we get messed up for fun
We went too fast, too young.

But I won't cry my self to sleep, like a sucker
I won't cry myself to sleep, If I do I'll die
Now you fall a sleep with another, damn you.
Damn you.

Flowers in my hair and your breath smelled like whiskey,
Promise anywhere that I go, take you with me.
Dancing on your feet like a child to the radio
Hello, hello where did you go?

We were two kids livining life on the run,
Like the american dream.
Baby, nothing to lose
And we get messed up for fun
We went too fast, too young

But I wont cry my self to sleep, like a sucker
I wont cry myself to sleep, If I do I'll die.
Now you fall a sleep with another, damn you.
Damn you.

Every once in a lifetime dreams can come true
Now and then when the stars shine
You meet somebody like you.

And I wont cry myself to sleep, like a sucker
I wont cry myself to sleep, if I do I'll die
I pray your life is sweet, you fucker,
Damn you oh oh, damn you, damn you.

    My Interpretation

    So:

    In this song, Lana is sing about/to a past lover. In the verses, she sings about her memories with him, and she certainly seems to miss him at least. When she sings: ;" I wont cry myself to sleep like a sucker; if I do, I'll die" she wont allow herself to cry and give him that satisfaction, she wont allow herself to 'loose' in the sense that she hasn't moved on. It also frustrates her that he's moved on first: "Now you fall asleep with another". Overall, i think this song is about her missing a past lover, and hating the fact he doesnt seem as hurt or sad as she does, and the fact she lost him to another.

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.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/
