This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
(take me)
Far from all that's wrong and
(let these)
Fears collapse inside
(take me)
Back to when I
(believed)
And as a little boy
Tries to hide his eyes
With reeds and rituals
With paper and a knife
The fire will always burn
The skin and forgery
An answer when you won't
The bloodless hands of fear
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
Someone had a knife (someone had a knife)
Took away my eyes (my eyes)
The last time is right know
This choice will take or make every thing
Your face is fading out
(wash those days)
(from your eyes and let them fall away)
(drown the fear that holds you)
(wash those days)
(from your eyes and let them fall away)
(drown the fear)
He felt the wake
Of torrid days
Ushered through
By warm mistakes
Suddenly (suddenly)
His broken feet (his broken feet)
Took their rest
On bended knee
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
He was hungry
Someone had a knife (someone had a knife)
Took away my eyes (my eyes)
The last time is right know
This choice will take or make everything
Your face is fading out
I won't stand here
This dance won't stop the music
Your promise will help me lead
Until the end
(if this is the last time)
What words have you to say
(i won't forget you)
(exhale the last breath)
(tear down the statues)
(this scar will reamin' here)
Before we spill this blood
(to mark where we severed)
(my hands from your hands)
(your hands from my heart)
(if this)
This time you will be afraid
(is the last time)
(if this)
You've cost me your word now
Or
You've crossed me you're done now
(is the last time)
(this is the last time)
(this is the last time)
(this is the last time)
Far from all that's wrong and
(let these)
Fears collapse inside
(take me)
Back to when I
(believed)
And as a little boy
Tries to hide his eyes
With reeds and rituals
With paper and a knife
The fire will always burn
The skin and forgery
An answer when you won't
The bloodless hands of fear
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know (he didn't know)
He didn't know
He was hungry
Someone had a knife (someone had a knife)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
