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.
I was looking for love baby in all the wrong places
Trying to put a square pet into a circular hole
Trying to recreate something I felt back in my youth
A long, long time ago when life was beautiful
Settling for some things that just weren't me baby
Trying to turn pain into ecstasy baby
Just when I thought I could never be truly happy baby
The sky turned blue, and then it came you
Baby I'm love starved, hungry for real love
Wishing on a star, looking for pure love
With a heart that's true,
Need a confident protection boy
Love's all for you
[Chorus]
Baby I'm hungry ,thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved
Hunger pains and I was thirsty
Seem like all the time
No one could fulfill the empty spaces in my mind
You're the kind of guy that turns a gray sky colorful
That's why I love you so, deep down inside my soul
Just like on a circle sweetness in a candy store
You're everything I want in a man and so much more
Stop, look, listen to your heart ,hear what it's saying
That's the one who walking down to lover's lane
Baby I'm love starved, thirsty for real love
Wishing on a star,
I still wait to send me somebody sweet and kind
Need all of your provision shall
And I will find
[Chorus]
Hungry for real love
And here you are, thirsty for somebody
With a heart that's true
Need a substance baby, I'm starving for you
[Chorus: x2]
Wake up girl it's time for you to recognize
Open up your eyes it's time to realize
Hungry quite in love will make you so all alone
Make you feel like a stranger in your own home
[Chorus: x4]
If you're hungry for real love baby
Come round here
If you're looking for real love sugar
Baby just come right here
If you're feeling thirsty or lonely
Come round here
If you're love starve for me boy
Baby just come round here
[Chorus: x2]
I'm love starved, I'm hungry for you
[Chorus: x3]
Trying to put a square pet into a circular hole
Trying to recreate something I felt back in my youth
A long, long time ago when life was beautiful
Settling for some things that just weren't me baby
Trying to turn pain into ecstasy baby
Just when I thought I could never be truly happy baby
The sky turned blue, and then it came you
Baby I'm love starved, hungry for real love
Wishing on a star, looking for pure love
With a heart that's true,
Need a confident protection boy
Love's all for you
[Chorus]
Baby I'm hungry ,thirty for love
Baby I'm love starved
Hunger pains and I was thirsty
Seem like all the time
No one could fulfill the empty spaces in my mind
You're the kind of guy that turns a gray sky colorful
That's why I love you so, deep down inside my soul
Just like on a circle sweetness in a candy store
You're everything I want in a man and so much more
Stop, look, listen to your heart ,hear what it's saying
That's the one who walking down to lover's lane
Baby I'm love starved, thirsty for real love
Wishing on a star,
I still wait to send me somebody sweet and kind
Need all of your provision shall
And I will find
[Chorus]
Hungry for real love
And here you are, thirsty for somebody
With a heart that's true
Need a substance baby, I'm starving for you

If you're hungry for real love baby
Come round here
If you're looking for real love sugar
Baby just come right here
If you're feeling thirsty or lonely
Come round here
If you're love starve for me boy
Baby just come round here
[Chorus: x2]
I'm love starved, I'm hungry for you
[Chorus: x3]

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
