Rising reveals an angel
My burning heart was over thrown
She came to take away this pain boy

But what I felt was never shown

So much left unknown

I found the road but I can’t turn back
Over looked out of time
So much left behind

Drifted away reality follow the heart no better
Future dreams will never be, never means forever
And the path is hard to find, when there’s
So much left behind

Beauty flows just like a river
Drowns my soul, purifies
Drift away into forgiveness
Now I’m left to wonder why, No tears to cry

Words to you were long over due
Stormy skies are over head, so much left unsaid

Drifted away reality follow the heat no better
Future dreams will never be,never means forever
And the path is hard to find, when there’s

So much left behind
So much left behind

I guess we gotta move on
Gonna keep on rollin’
I guess we gotta move on
Gonna keep on rollin

    Pepper Keenan: Basically it’s a song about me getting my life back on track. I live on a farm in North Carolina and I was in a relationship. I dedicated so much time to music that I left a lot of things behind. I needed to focus on more important things than I had been. Because of that I needed to turn things around and try & get my life back on track. It’s just my take on that!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

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.
