Tout le monde est une drôle de personne
Et tout le monde a l'âme emmêlée
Tout le monde a de l'enfance qui ronronne
Au fond d'une poche oubliée
Tout le monde a des restes de rêves
Et des coins de vie dévastés
Tout le monde a cherché quelque chose un jour
Mais tout le monde ne l'a pas trouvé
Mais tout le monde ne l'a pas trouvé

Il faudrait que tout le monde réclame auprès des autorités
Une loi contre toute notre solitude
Que personne ne soit oublié
Et que personne ne soit oublié

Tout le monde a une sale vie qui passe
Mais tout le monde ne s'en souvient pas
J'en vois qui la plient et même qui la cassent
Et j'en vois qui ne la voient même pas
Et j'en vois qui ne la voient même pas

Il faudrait que tout le monde réclame auprès des autorités
Une loi contre toute notre indifférence
Que personne ne soit oublié
Et que personne ne soit oublié

Tout le monde est une drôle de personne
Et tout le monde a une âme emmêlée
Tout le monde a de l'enfance qui ronronne
Au fond d'une heure oubliée
Au fond d'une heure oubliée

    Problems are universal and therefore rarely admitted openly. This leads to indifference, to which Carla protests: "Il faudrait que tout l'monde réclame auprès des autorités, Une loi contre toute notre indifférence, Que personne ne soit oublié" We all have our messed up times, our childhood issues and unfulfilled dreams. Universal doesn't necessarily mean unimportant.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
