it's been one of those days
for a lot of days now
I need a day where the world can take care of itself
this isn't what I wanted
how I thought my life would turn out
and I wonder if it's like this
from here on out
sometimes life gets you
but we go on
sometimes life gets you
we're still going on

we're not done yet
not going quietly into the night
not me and my firneds
we're not done yet
don't take it too seriously
it's just life
we'll win in the end
and we walk on and on and on
and we walk on and on

it's been one of those days
for too many dyas now
I did the thin I didn't want to do again
I feel down in the place where I always fall down
and I wanna give up and let it be what it's been
sometimes life gets you
but we go on
sometimes life gets you
we're still going on...

it's been one of those days
but I don't care
not it was only a day and tomorrow's ahead
we got this far
and I know that I can ride this one out
though I want to lie down
well I won't quit yet
sometimes life gets you
but we go on
sometimes life gets you
we're still going on

    when i was at private school and no one liked me the part where it says "this isn't what i wanted how i thought my life would turn out" got to me and eventually was what got me out of the school

    This song is an inspiration to me now that I'm at college. I printed it out one night and put it on my wall to remind myself that there's always tomorrow.

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.
