Everybody says I'm a lonesome kind of guy
I've been defeated by them all
If they can find me
I'm done

Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
All the good things that I've done
I'm up against the wall
How come
My file has been deleted

If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it, sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone

Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
Everybody says I shouldn't mess with you no more
If you see me on my own
Drive on

If I were dismissed I would've gotten much more
If I wasn't that kind I wouldn't care at all
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
I'll change my whole perspective

If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it, sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone

Isn't it better?
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
I'll change my whole perspective
I'll be recruited by someone

    Song Meaning

    Well, it seems something is missing on translation, but not sure, I can find a great meaning of this song:

    "Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all All the good things that I've done I'm up against the wall How come My file has been deleted"

    Well, it looks like something missed here, but not sure. It seems he means that all the good things he deed doesn't matter, for any reason. He's against anyone. All the good things he did has deleted.

    "If this is what they want I can tell you that the order's alphabetical Don't you get it, sooner or later I'll be recruited by someone"

    After-crisis of a broken heart. Or, perhaps it can be a broken heart that try to show what he's okay. "Don't you get it, sooner or later I'll be recruited by someone". I think he means that he lost her, but he'll find another girl so he ain't feels sad. Which, as I said, may show for a broken heart, or an after-crisis of a broken heart.

    "Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all Everybody says I shouldn't mess with you no more If you see me on my own Drive on"

    Here it seems he do love her, but he knows she don't. And he don't wants her to mercy him. And if she sees him on his own, ignore.

    "If I were dismissed I would've gotten much more If I wasn't that kind I wouldn't care at all Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later I'll change my whole perspective"

    This makes me confused a bit. "if I were dismissed"? Now, it's like he's saying, that he broke up with her. And not her with him.

    "Isn't it better? Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later I'll change my whole perspective I'll be recruited by someone"

    Isn't it better? Sooner or later, I'll find my way, my girl. You'll find your way, your guy.

    Amazing words, amazing music, amazing song.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
