there must be some way out of here
said the joker to the thief
there’s too much confusion
i can’t get no relief

business men they drink my wine
their plowmen dig my earth
none of them along the line
know what any of it’s worth

no reason to get excited
the thief he kindly spoke
there are many among us
who feel that life is but a joke

but you and I we’ve been through all that
and this is not our fate
so let us not talk falsly
the hour is getting late

and all along the watchtower
princes kept the view
while all the women all the women all the women came and they went
barefoot servants too
outside in the cold distance
a wild cat did growl (la la la)
two riders were approaching
the wind began to howl

(halloween starts)

oh... halloween. bury all
bury all. bury all. bury all
bury all. bury all
and in this dream
tell us are you satisfied with fucking

don’t walk away
don’t walk away
don’t walk away
i’m talking to you

love is hell
love is hell
love is hell
love this I’ll tame you

love, light love, light love, well tell me if you’re satisfied with fucking love, light love, light love, love him and I’ll leave you

and all along the watchtower
the princes kept the view
while all the women all the women all the women came and went
barefoot servants too
outside in the cold distance
a wild cat did growl (la la la la la)
two riders two riders approaching
the wind began to howl

halloween. bury all
bury all. bury all. bury all
bury all. bury all
and in this dream
tell us are you satisfied with fucking

don’t walk away
don’t walk away
don’t walk away
i’m talking to you

love is hell
love is hell
love is hell
love him and I’ll leave you

love
love
love
love him and I’ll leave you

love
love
love
love him...

    Seriously, why has nobody written anything about this song? Howie Day is one of the best artists when it comes to covering other songs, and this one is no exception. When he transitions between Watchtower and Halloween it is seamless. Plus, his voice sounds so emotionally driven. He is really "into" this song as he sings it.

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.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
