Stand Up (Kick Love Into Motion)

Def Leppard

I've got to know right now
It's got to be this time
I want to show you how
Gonna make you change your mind
There's an empty chair at my table
There's an empty look in your eyes

I just happen to be a man
And you just happen to be a woman
And we just happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'

Stand up
Kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around
Stand up
Kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground

Down to the ground, baby, come on
Stand up for love

I want to play your game
I want to play with fire
I want to breathe your air
Baby gonna take you there
If you lay the cards on the table
I'll lay my love on the line til your mine

I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'

Stand up
Kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around
Stand up

Kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground
Down to the ground, baby, c'mon
Stand up for love

You couldn't get it much better
You never had it so good
Stand up together
And when your ready to
You're going to get what you should

Little by little like a fine wine
My love is like a motor
Burnin' all the time
Step by step

Easy and slow
On the stairway to heaven
What a way to go
Stand up

Stand up
Kick love into motion
Take a little love and shake it all around
Stand up
Kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and throw me to the ground

Stand up
Kick love into motion
Take me in your arms and show me what you found
Stand up

Kick love into motion
My love is like a motor
Burnin' all the time
Stand up

Kick love into motion
Step by step
Go easy, go slow
Stand up, yeah

Stand up
Kick love into motion
Stairway to heaven
What a way to go, stand up

    Great Leppard song. A little on the popish side (prefer their rock-n-roll). Awesome tune!

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.

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
