Sometimes I tell you the way that I feel
I swear that I'm going crazy
Keep telling myself it ain't that big a deal
It's better than pushing up daisies

I felt the arrow from death's fatal quiver
Come so close it actually grazed me
I bled the blood and I felt the cold shiver
God only knows how he saved me

There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important is the time that is known
And that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between

Sometimes my hear is as true as a dove
But sometimes my heart it betrays me
So I draw my sword for to fight for my love
But without a whisper she slays me

My mother died but somehow she keeps living
She'll never cease to amaze me
My dad turns his back on each day that he's given
'Cause he'd rather be pushing up daisies

There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important is the time that is known
And that little dash there in between
Yeah, that little dash there in between

    General Comment

    Surprised no one commented on this song, I think it has such a great meaning. Simply it's about living each day to the fullest because those days are the most important

    "I felt the arrow from Death's fatal quiver Come so close It actually grazed me I bled the blood and I felt teh cold shiver God only knows How He saved me" Obviously about someone who came close very close to death, so close God is the only one who knows how he was saved.

    "Sometimes my heart is True as a dove Sometimes my heart It betrays me So I draw my sword for To fight for my love But without a wisper She slays me" This part is about a person who is in lov with someone, and he is willing to do anything for her/him, and in the end he/she betrays him.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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/
