"...Hineni mavi et hamabool maimarubot hasham al ha'aretz,
Leshachet kol basar asher bo ruach chaim mitachat hashamaim,
Kol asher ba'aretz yigva...
Vemachiti et kol hayekum asher asiti me'al pney ha'adama"

Translation:

And, behold, I, do bring a flood of waters upon
the land to destroy all flesh,
wherein is the breathe of life,
from under heaven, and every thing that is in the
Land shall die...and I shall wipe away
the world I created upon the land.

May the lord eternal save his troubled child
As he passes through rain and storm
Behind the walls of this hallowed ark of wood
Our prophets found a revelation, which they understood
Onto the lands of fearful heaven comes a flood earsing all
Landing as if a ruthless bird of prey to crush all human souls

The lightning colors of the sky with flames of light
Hell shines above us and the fires bright
Erasing the works of the common man, all we hold dear is set alight

"Bayom haze nivkeu kol ma'ayanot tehom raba
ve'arubot hashamaim niftechu
vemey hamabool hayu al ha'aretz"

Translation:

...In the seventh day of the month, the same day were all the fountains
of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven had opened...
...And the waters of the flood, were upon the land...

Shattered glass reflects this shattered world, barren in the landscape here
Thunder roars as a lion caged, heat that comes like waves of fear
Oceans rise and rage as we watch the world powers fall
redeeming their sinful ways with their souls
May the truth fill their hearts, let them see the light, when they embrace their gods

"Vehine charvu pney ha'adama...
Shofech dam ha'adam, ba'adam damo yishapech"

Translation:

...and the face of the land was dead...
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.

Seas cover the works of timeless art
That once brought joy to human hearts
In halls of infamy this day shall live
Like burning of Rome and betrayal of Eve
Like the fire raised at the witches' stakes

Return all earthly possessions
As ashes yyou return to earth, child of Godm to face the divine lord who sits upon the throne - eyes sad
Go in peace and find thy faith
Evolve thy self and lose all hate
So a heaven you may create

In this world of sorrowful ways
None shall live to see the light of day
Some may survive to tell the tale
If their belief shall conquer this gale
Damnationis the punishment bestowed
El Norra Alila the vengeful God

    This refers to the old testament story of "The Ark" where all but one man and his family, who where not sinful, had died. This can also refer to the future in which if we don't repent our sinful ways and turn back to god, then god will redeem us with our souls and by spending eternal damnation in the fires of our afterlife.

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/

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.
