I am your poison candy gram
The love that's meant to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego
Move aside I'm choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate
As long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day

Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
Mortally wounded, feeling sheltered me
Once again my shadow will enter your life
Time to walk with me the last mile

I read the book about a man, the love, the women, how they die
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me

Open your blue eyes tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
Broke the vow I thought you made my angel why
Could I let you wait out the night?

Mother always said: "My son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now, sit watch and learn
"It's not how long you live but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word, don't say a word

It won't be long now love, like mist I slowly feel the room
I place a black candle on your chest
The path of night its manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray

Open your blue eyes tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made my angel why
Setting the score, we pass the twilight

Mother always said: "My son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, Now, sit watch and learn
"It's not how long you live but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word, don't say a word

Strawberry blonde your stranglehold
On my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes
It doesn't go the way it was meant
Though you never were a believer
I assure you, I won't die before you
You read the book now
The part "ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

Short is the flight of this little sparkle
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
And see how the fear of death becomes her

We had it all so sweet
Made for me, you, indeed
Big secrets, small the lie
Don't cry for me, oh, argentite

No words you say tonight
Can make this be alright
I'll help you follow through
Remember this: Pacta sunt servanda

The wounds are to deep
I need to keep the scars
To prove there was a time
When I loved something more than life

Unlike the last time here
I now have the means and a will sincere
Your knight is nowhere near
Unfortunate for you, this make me your God

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
You never meant a word, I know you lied
When there is life there is despair, indulge me now
And stay alive this night
I promise you the end before the first light arrives

Mother always said: "My son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now, sit watch and learn
"It's not how long you live but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word, don't say a word

Mother always said: "My son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now, sit watch and learn
"It's not how long you live but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word, don't say a word

    the whole thing starts off as the song caleb, a young boy with a hard life, showing how he had grown up difficultly. he had an abusive father and a bad influencial mother. then in the song end of this chapter he is married to a girl and then she sends him off to jail for violence or something, then she gets a new relationship with a better guy. she was th only thing that had kept caleb alive, so he stalks her to get her back, she really doesn't want to so he does everything he can to get her back. he is frustrated because he isn't getting through life easily. he knows he needs this chick, but she says no. he wishes death for either him or her. now in don't say a word, he is thinking how bad she was to him and unright, so he thinks, she made the vow, she made promise to him, and broke it, so the only he feels he can do is promise her death which will follow through that night (And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives..) (I won't die before you You read the book now, The part "ashes to ashes, dust to dust") (And see how the fear of death becomes her) (Settling the score, we pass the twilight... )

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/

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion.

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.
