Tonight I'm sending a message
This is the end of an era
The end of second chances
In the face of defeat
I'm winning
Yet, you still have so much left to say

They're coming straight for me

Just let me go for now
I'll be just fine
Don't you know now that I'm back on my own

Tell me how it feels to watch the walls of your security crumble
I remember you, you took the easy way out when I gave you something to stand for

They're coming straight for me

Just let me go for now
I'll be just fine
Don't you know now that I'm back on my own

I was just another promise that you couldn't keep

    This song really means a lot to me right now, I was in a relationship for nine months and my girlfriend dumped me. I really didn't want to let her go I felt like she was the one an she would always play stupid little head games saying she wanted me back when she really just wanted someone to care about her. I finally got over her and that's what I feel like the first verse is about, "the end of an era" "the end of second chances". I felt defeated for a long time but once I was able to get her out of my mind I felt like I had finally won.

    Tonight I'm sending a message This is the end of an era the end of second chances In the face of defeat I'm winning Yet, you still have so much left to say

    A few months later she realized that I was truely the one for her and she tried getting back with me and I told her that I was better off on my own, thus the chrous.

    Just let me go for now I'll be just fine Don't ya know now that I'm back on my own

    I feel like the second verse is about her realizing that I was finally done and that I was no longer her "security".

    Tell me how it feels to watch the walls of your security crumble I remember you, you took the easy way out when I gave you something to stand for

    This last part to me was basically about her breaking all our plans for the future, having kids, getting married, etc.

    I was just another promise that you couldn't keep

    Anyways that's just what the song means to me...

    P.s - Fucking amazing!!!!

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/

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.
