There's only so much juice
You can suck out of a fruit
And the color changes fast
When an apple's cut in half

Every letter ends somewhere
Better time its steps with care
I'll be the one who waits too long
Turns around and finds it gone

Choose the life you want to live
Give the love you want to give
Take the moment when it comes
Let it lead you let it run

Feel the moisture in the air
Feel her fingers through your hair
Don't be shy when asking to
Be that way (you always were meant to)

You say that life is long
You took the words
Out of my mind

Life is long, and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time

Given shelter, blessed by rain
To our common unknown aim
Through the north side of the town
To the south where we laid down

All the floodlights but no stars
And the people without cars
Where I ask you without sound
Where you answer without words

Do them all as written down
When you close your eyes you find
You can prophesize the steps
You can visualize the maps

If you act upon it when
theres no trace of doubt within
When your heart is freshly stung
You cannot fail, you cannot act wrong

You say that life is long
You took the words
Out of my mind

Life is long, and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time

You say that life is long
You took the words
Out of my mind

Life is long, and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time

    My Interpretation

    I think is a song about a distance love relantionship or crush. Both of them really enjoy the company of each other, but know that right now they cant be together.

    Its about two lovers who live diferent lifestyles or life just cant bring them together, and that timing isnt helping them.

    But its also a song of hope, "say that life is long" and "our paths will cross some other time." . Showing that maybe in the future it will workout between them.

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.

Holiday
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.

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/

Plastic Bag
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.
