And now the little girl is a teenage wild child
She knows the game
And she plays it with a wild style
She only smiles when she's sticking the knife in
'cause he chose the world that she spends her life in
Washing her body in a blood bath
The only sound she can hear is the dirty mans laugh
Six years old and she was told to keep a secret
Ten years on she was ? and she keeps it
Planet of the apes was her favorite program
Her grand daddy was her favorite
Oh man!
Who would have known the old man was sick?
Come on over baby let me show you a magic trick
Close the door
We'll play on the floor
Did grand daddy's games turn baby to a whore?

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell

Grand daddy died five years ago
And baby turned into a full blown hoe
Her momma and poppa they still don't know
Because the whole ? scene is a freak show
The name ergo makes her go crazy
Town to town
You better slow down baby
Hazy days and hazy nights
And getting into fighs with people that bite
Every day she wonders what to do
Mixed up memories as she grew
Nightmare years and then she knew
So just like a bird, she went when she flew
Working streets and working avenues
Don't open your eyes and you won't see who's having you
Grabing you
Stabbing you
Dragging you down
Baby's so lost, she won't never be found

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell

Sun shines bright
Baby's high as a kite
Today her name is pretty, but she ain't a pretty sight
Same old stilletos and dodgy looking fellows
Same old whistles
Same old hellos
Bars
Scars
Scars
Bars
Cars
Baby sees stars as she wonders who you are
Was the magic really real in the dreamer genie show?
And if so, where did her genie go?

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Sweet sixteen ain't never been kissed
But she been drugged up, and sliced her own wrist
She missed the vein
She missed the shame
She's dying of shame
She's dying of pain

Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell
Quetions spinning and ringing like a bell
The living ain't easy when you're living in hell

She only wanted to watch planet of the apes... x19
Planet of the apes x5

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.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
