In Winter

Kittie

You fell to the ground like rain
On deaf ears your cries met hands And knees were blistered
Shouting from the tallest tree
You declared wrong
But they never listen
There’s safety in numbers
This cold-hearted world!
The Coldest Winter...
You don’t see me like I know you
Hiding behind glass
So sickened by grief
You can’t let them win
They’ll have you
Playing life makes death so good
This cold-hearted world!
The Coldest Winter...
You don’t know, And you never will!

    Hey I reckon it's about a guy (or girl, either one) that's gettin bullied or beaten up or something similar, and Morgan's watching this all from afar. Please tell me different lol it's just how I interpret the song:

    "You fell to the ground like rain" Either he fell emotionally or physically "On deaf ears your cries met, hands and knees were blistered" He tried to be one of 'the group' but they didn't care "Shouting from the tallest tree, you declared wrong" He tells them all that they're wrong and he doesn't deserve this treatment "But they never listen - there’s safety in numbers" They all group together to pick on him cos it doesn't make them feel so cowardly "This cold-hearted world! The Coldest Winter..." The world is cold and cruel to the guy that's gettin bullied

    "You don’t see me like I know you" The one being bullied doesn't see Morgan looking on but she feel she knows him already "Hiding behind glass, so sickened by grief" She's hiding and feel sick with grief that this is happening "You can’t let them win - they’ll have you" She's saying to him not to give up and show too much weakness cos if he does, they'll get him again "Playing life makes death so good" The fact the bullies are playing with his mind makes him feel like he'd be better off dead

    "You don’t know, and you never will!" They don't know she's watching, and when she gets back at them they won't know what's hit them

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/

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.
