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.
Smoothed out without the R&B
(Mercy) come on
(Mercy) come on, y'all
(Mercy) come on
There's no R&B in this song (mercy)
Now come along, my children, come along (oh, yeah)
Come along, my children, come along
Come along, my children, come along (oh, yeah)
There's no R&B in this song
Pushed up a dame by the name of Crystal
Her flaunt's to the point just like a missile
A habit with ears kiddin' with gold mags
And since she fancies facial hair she asked my name
(Hey, baby, what's your name?) (Yeah)
Now ever so fab, I said, "I'm Wala"
Most wild who used to run tough with Koala
She was a winner worth my metaphor and she knew that (¿Tienes hambre? Sí)
I said, "I'm gonna feed your mouth," she said, "You do that" (uh-huh)
Now Crystal style the Jeep, I think I'm mad fly
She used to have a man with lots of mad signs
Her strut was guaranteed to make a gay smile
And in bed she had proved to be real agile (yeah)
I show her to her lounge and I dined her
Then she gave me some digits where I could find her
I licked her like a stamp, later sticked her like a champ (what?)
But the (tramp) gave me burn, I had to go see the doctor
(Three days later, uhh) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
(Three days later, oh, yeah) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
(Three days later, yeah) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
(Three days later) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
Well, it was thirty after nine and I was loungin'
Tokin' on some smoke 'and I was poundin'
I rang up seven up so we can skip to the mall
Thinkin' a good day to shop, but then we got stopped
A shooter man said, "Yo, well, it's is a stick up"
(Stick 'em up, stick 'em up, come on)
A whole lot of dirt was 'bout to kick up (give me the money, give me the loot)
I had screens in my pocket and, man, tonight's my date
With Smokey Sue, now what was I to do?
In my head, I'm thinking, "Should I dodge the bullet?"
(Man, this kid is bluffin' you can pull it)
I feared the whole scene, the shooter didn't bluff
Now look at me now, he shot my ass dead
(Yeah)
(You shouldn't have)
(Well, I did, so let's get in the van)
(You shouldn't have done that)
(but, I did, so get in the fucking van)
(I love you, Dave)
(I, I love you, Dave)
(I, I love you, Dave)
(I, I love you, Dave)
(I, I love you, Dave) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
(I, I love you, Dave) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
(I, I love you, Dave) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
(I, I love you, Dave) skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
(Mercy) come on
(Mercy) come on, y'all
(Mercy) come on

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
