The messenger came out of nowhere.
The name was clear, yet unreachable
All around us and we never even thought to look around, tearing us apart.

This is Fact, the message is clear. You cannot deny it. They are here. We cannot deny it.

The reminder was vague,
Our hearts were made
For a much higher purpose

Everything happens for a reason. the greet, the meet, the kiss, the fight, the break, the tears, the lies, the knife

Stay away from the emergency exit, we aren’t quite done yet.

We stared and stared and stared into those blank eyes.
It is burning
The messenger was there.

Be careful of that mind of yours, they say. It can play tricks on you.

Pollute the mind and your asking for it.

Thinking that life matters is an understatement
There is a larger war going on than guns and missiles, and it is too close for comfort. Have you fought the good fight?

I’ve found deeper meaning in this game, and I am scared to hell because of it.
Fear is another way of saying you realized the deeper secrets of mankind.

    Sky Eats Airplane's lyrics are so deep. I have no idea what it all means. But I love it. +]

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Cajun Girl
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”

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/

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
