I'm a lover not a fighter,
Hold me close and Ill take you higher than you've ever been.
Raise your hands and lay down your weapons.
We could turn this around in seconds flat if you believe.

Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.
Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.

Well light a fire and write a sonnet.
Pin all your hopes and dreams upon it now.
And come and sing with us.
Calling out to your children's children.
Let there be love and let them scream it loud.
Before we bite the dust.

So come on!
Home is where the heart is.
Its where we started.
Where we belong.
Oh were singing!
Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.

In these troubled days of anger.
Were afraid of every stranger.
But today were changing history.
Its okay, just sing it with me.

Nows your chance.
Think of your lovers.
We are all sisters and brothers.
Nows your chance.
Think of your lovers.
We are all sisters and brothers.

Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.

Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.

Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.

Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.

Home is where the heart is.
It's where we started.
Where we belong.

    To me, this song has a lot more meaning than you guys think. Lol, it's not just saying 'Home Is Just Where You Feel Warmth And Love', but I think it has a kind of war/peace feel to it. I may be really wrong, but this is how I see it.

    Kay, so the war analogy comes from: 'Im a lover not a fighter,' The lover/fighter line obviously says that you're not a killer or someone who wants to hurt other people.

    'Raise your hands and lay down your weapons, we could turn this around in seconds flat if you believe.' This line can be about war, you can stop it in seconds flat if you believe in peace.

    Now here's the double meaning, the war analogy, in my opinion, describes the big entertainment industry/business. The huge entertainment industry is a back-stabbing one, and the song could be about people trying to get big, but realize that they'll have to hurt people in the process of getting their fame. That's when they realize that, ya know... home is where the heart is and where you really belong.

    Do I make sense?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
