Gone

The Butterfly Effect

I'm all alone on the road
High water tied underneath the flood
In desserts of dust if I must i will stand

These are my promises

I hope you're winning the war
Make everything like it's was before
All that we were we can still be again

I swear

I'm afraid you're gone

I don't want you
I don't want you to go
I've got the sun in my eyes
I didn't see you passing me buy
I just wanted you
I just wanted you to know

Inside of me forever you'll go

Now I just want to go home
Carried by all that was ever known
Held in these hands if I must I will stand

Given these promises

Now i've been running too long
These feet are too tired to carry on
Weighing us down if you're gone I will drown

I'm afraid you're gone

I don't want you
I don't want you to go
I've got the sun in my eyes
I didn't see you passing me buy
I just wanted you
I just wanted you to know

If forever exists
Inside me it where you belong
If forever exists

I've got the sun in my eyes
I didn't see you passing me by
Now i've been running too long
To carry on
I don't want you
I don't want you to go
I've got the sun in my eyes
I'm afraid you're gone
If forever exists
Inside me it where you belong

If forever exists

    I agree with kit kat with the fact that he has lost someone he loves, and the suddenly realising it, but the lines

    "I've got the sun in my eyes I didn't see you passing me by"

    They make me think hes in denial and refuses to believe that his loved one is gone, but by the end of the song, he finally comes to terms with it.

    "I'm afraid you're gone"

I Can't Go To Sleep
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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
