My Heart Is A Fist

Papa Roach

I surrender, I know I've been a pretender
You can have this guilt this misery I wear so well
I wave my flag I sound the alarm
Somebody stop me before I do any harm
I surrender I know I've been a pretender
I'm living a dead life I'm staring into the headlights
Of a gateway car that'll take me out of my mind tonight
Crash and burn s.o.s. somebody help me get out of this mess of a dead life
I'm burning under the spotlight

My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will fight again
My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will rise again

Take a look at these hollow eyes- one last look before I say goodbye
To this candle-lit nightmare I feel like can never escape
So watch me fall from grace-watch me carve my hate
In the heart of a lover I feel I can never escape my fate

My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will fight again
My heart is a fist drenched in blood
My soul will rise again

I see you on your cloud looking down
I am on my knees today but you don't notice me
You don't notice me
I'm screaming while I pray
While I pray
While I pray
You don't notice me
I'm sick of you...
I am done with you...

    I think the last verse is probably about somebody who looks down on you

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/
