I hear a distant thunder. They say thou don't surrender
Witnessing lael my eyes the sins of our land
Why can't we see from under? Dark reign on thou defenders
Endlessly torturing the sons without stand

Fight out lets break the chains So strong we must feel no pain
Forever torn apart from the haunting fields of man

Raging fear from skies above the fire fill my veins
Destruction of humanity the everlasting flame
Cast away no turning back from long and darkened shore
We'll show no mercy as they fall The fire burns inside

Now prepare for war!

You feel the pain no longer Daylight your heart grows stronger
Not even sense the burning hunger inside
Ride out with force and valour in memory forever
Towards the battering and rise all the time

Stand out we'll break the chain in unity we feel no pain
Forever torn apart from the haunting fields of man

Raging fear from skies above the fire fills my veins
Destruction of humanity the everlasting flame
Cast way no turning back from long and darkened shore
We'll show no mercy as they fall the fire burns inside

Now prepare for war!!

Looking around there's no fear in your heart for I know you will never surrender
Everyone here raise there eyes to the sky now we strike out and onward we fight

Prepare for war!!!!

Raging fear from skies above the fire fill my veins
Destruction of humanity the everlasting flame!!!!


Raging fears from skies above the fire fills my veins
Destruction of humanity the everlasting flame
Cast away no turning back from land and darkened shore
We'll show no mercy as they fall
We'll show no mercy standing tall
Till becomes us we won't fall The fire burns inside

Now prepare for war!!!

War...

    My Interpretation

    I believe this song is about an army invading a shore and before they land they get very nervous. it also implies that if they fail humanity will be destroyed.

    in a sense this song is very similar about D-Day invasion of Normandy.

    My Interpretation

    to me this song is about a people whom have been betrayed by other people and how war tears civilizations apart.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/

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. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
