Cracking the earth down to the depths below
Burrowing deeper to where vapors flow
We descend into the unknown

Laying waste to the forests and plains
Now a wasteland is all that remains
Raping mother earth for a profitable gain

Unearthing the crypts, a foul stench spews forth from the deep
The plates start to shift, as open sores from the earth start to weep

Carcinogenic chemicals injected
While metal monoliths are quickly erected
A growing populace becoming more and more dejected

Flowing rivers of life now bring only death
Mephitic pools seep and infect
We continue to destroy at nature's behest

Smashing through the hardest of stones, thousands of feet below
Dire consequences soon to be shown, unearthing effluvium from long ago
Water so contaminated that it can burst into flames
Poisoning the populace with vaporized remains

    "Water so contaminated that it can burst into flames"

    That is not an over-exaggeration. That actually happened believe it or not.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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/
