do you still believe the chance of a life and a peace exists for us beyond these walls burning all illusion buried by illusion our cities bleed their secrets rebel lives still sing when the last step falls burning all illusion buried by illusion the local time falling from fire we abandoned past the past the past unwind our dirty reflections in the water rocks of white teeth at the fall line spinning tales tonight histories the days unsung but brightly shining these songs are songs are for the dead that the system forgets these words add to the voices and we’re not beaten yet these truths another way to guard the light in your eyes these word building potential we get back up to rise building potential up to rise I’m so sick of feeling hollow and empty when the tv’s on buried my illusion burning my illusion clutching cold to the still air and the faded dreams of tomorrows gone burning all illusion buried all illusion this virus in our compassion has no known cure we’re distracted then bought out clean and pure we are all dreaming dreaming for our eyes race under the lids hear the voice from the past to the unbroken kids these songs are for the dead that the system forgets these words add to the voices say we’re not beaten yet these truths another way to guard the light in your eyes these days building potential we get back up to rise up to rise your voices sound from underground your dreams endure ‘til days shall be no more.

    Wonderful song by a wonderful band. I think this song is about the illusions of a corrupt government fading while at the same time, the controlling power itself is crumbling to the ground too.

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.
