Standing in a circle
The wolves have come
But they won't bother her, no
'Cause dancing
With her hands of leaves
She'll sing for them
And ease their hungerin'
She's a quiet warrior
Standing at the
Ocean's stony shores
The waves all worship her
She stands in trust and
Lets the night swallow her
Because she knows that
She's a piece of the sun
And a quiet warrior

You ask her where
From the wind blows
She'll say it's
How the sky sings
And you ask her
How does the sun rise
She'll say 'cause
You desire it to be seen
And you ask her how does
She make your heart fly
And she'll tell you
You know why
She's your quiet warrior

Ravens they rest
On his golden crown
And steal your soul
He smiles and it feels
Like you've known him
Yes it feels like coming home
He's a quiet warrior

And roaring silently
He's a lion
And he'll hunt for you
His eyes are warm
Because his hands
They are made of light
And they seduce your soul
He's a quiet warrior

You ask him where
From the wind blows
He says that the earth breathes
And you ask him
How does the sun rise
He'll say that she's got wings
And you ask him
How does he make
Your heart fly
And he'll tell you
You know why
He's your quiet warrior

    This song would've been much cooler with the whole second half removed, you know, just a song about a quiet warrior woman. This format just confuses me, like why are there two warriors in this story

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

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.
