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.
Oh no not you oh no not you anyone but you
Everytime I realize there's something wrong when I see you
The way you try to prophesise that dreams just can't come true
The times you tried to undermine my reach what I still believe
The times you tried to bring me down cut me up and watch me bleed
But now the hand of faith has turned opened up and turned inside
What you stole dreams returned my believe in life
And when you turn you, you turn inside and when you burn you, you burn alive
'Cause everytime I opened up you were never around
And everytime I lost myself you were nowhere to be found
I lived inside an innocence but innocence was born to die
Inside the soul of everyone who's lost their faith in life
And life is a dream to me, life is a dream
Sometimes I wonder if you knew it all the time
And tried to stop my innocence from leaving you behind
I thought that you were powerful I thought you were strong
But now when I look around I realize there's something wrong
And when you turn, you turn inside and when you burn, you burn alive
'Cause everytime I opened up you were never around
And everytime I lost myself you were nowhere to be found
I lived inside an innocence but innocence was born to die
Inside the soul of everyone whose lost their faith in life
And life is a dream to me, life is a dream to me
Yeah life is a dream to me, life is a dream to me
But now you want to open up but there is no one around
Now you try to loose yourself in the hope that you'll be found
I see you for you innocence I see your soul wants to fly
You feel the hand of faith has turned and given you back your life
Life is a dream to you and me, life is a dream to you and me, life is a dream to you and me
Everytime I realize there's something wrong when I see you
The way you try to prophesise that dreams just can't come true
The times you tried to undermine my reach what I still believe
The times you tried to bring me down cut me up and watch me bleed
But now the hand of faith has turned opened up and turned inside
What you stole dreams returned my believe in life
And when you turn you, you turn inside and when you burn you, you burn alive
'Cause everytime I opened up you were never around
And everytime I lost myself you were nowhere to be found
I lived inside an innocence but innocence was born to die
Inside the soul of everyone who's lost their faith in life
And life is a dream to me, life is a dream
Sometimes I wonder if you knew it all the time
And tried to stop my innocence from leaving you behind
I thought that you were powerful I thought you were strong
But now when I look around I realize there's something wrong
And when you turn, you turn inside and when you burn, you burn alive
'Cause everytime I opened up you were never around
And everytime I lost myself you were nowhere to be found
I lived inside an innocence but innocence was born to die
Inside the soul of everyone whose lost their faith in life
And life is a dream to me, life is a dream to me
Yeah life is a dream to me, life is a dream to me
But now you want to open up but there is no one around
Now you try to loose yourself in the hope that you'll be found
I see you for you innocence I see your soul wants to fly
You feel the hand of faith has turned and given you back your life
Life is a dream to you and me, life is a dream to you and me, life is a dream to you and me

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
To me, this song means that you're allowed to dream and that it can make you stronger - you shouldn't let that be taken away from you ;)
