I want to see
All minds set free
Like slaves to their deaths
They pledge their liberty
Like awls through their ears
Nailed to a post
They sold their souls to the things they loved most
Now they accuse
My mind is closed
I've stood on their shoes
That's why I chose... Freedom
You've got words, clever jargon
Self-support, what a bargain
You tell me my God is dead
You hate a book you've never read
Telling me i'm pushing you
Who's world is this,
Who pushes who?
We've had to watch your television
Subject to your decisions
We've read yours books
And filled your schools
You burned the truth
With hate for fuel
You calculate your lack of reason
I hate this place
Call it treason
Mind for Treason
Force-feeding lies
But calling it freedom
Masking the truth to hide your dismay
Turn a blind eye to the death and decay
But I will rebel
It's treason I choose
you can die by yourself
But I will refure
A word of truth, to worlds of fiction
I'd like to challenge your depiction
Of yours sould and your salvation
I'd like to shake you from stagnation
You take the nail and drive it through
Your ear to show allegiance to
Your god the thing that you love most
Yourself
Am i coming close?
Blind to see your own extinction
Truth and lies have no distinction
Shackled slaves must drop their chains
Or slaves will serve themselves in vain

    My Interpretation

    This song is pretty much self explanatory.

    It is talking about how in America and everywhere else, everyone is against Christians. This kinda gives me hope in this dark world.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
