Baby's Gonna Die Tonight

Adam Green

Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

And it don't mean I don't love you
When I put a gun to your face
It just means I wanna get rough with you

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be al-
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

And it don't mean I don't love you
When I put a gun to your face
It just means I wanna get rough with you

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be al-
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright

And it don't mean I don't love you
When I put a gun to your face
It just means I wanna get rough with you

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be al-
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright
Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

Baby's gonna be alright
She's gonna be alright

    I always figured it was sadism? Sadism, tough love, whatever.

    i love this song. it's catchy. it could mean a number of different things. i think it's either about rape, sadism, or tough love. haven't decided yet.

    For me the song is about freaking out, doing crazy things and having fun. Normally, to put a gun to another person's face is something threatening and hate-filled. But here it does not mean that the one person is not loving the other one but it means that he or she wants to be rude. This is not supposed to hurt the other person which is expressed by the words "baby's gonna be alright". Looked at that way, the title of the song -Baby's Gonna Die Tonight- is rather ironic or is illustrating how all the nasty things must look to outsiders.

    Anyway, this is just my idea of it. "Though love" would be a good general description, although I don't think it is necessarily about love. Maybe it's just a night-lasting crush or something.

    I think it's about abusive relationships. How, often, people who are being abused (or, for that matter, abusive) don't realize it. That's how I see it, anyway.

    Either that or it's about hardcore S&M.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

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.
