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'm crawling through landmines
Just to know where you are
There's smoke in my eyes
Cause you're burning the ground
I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you are
Under cover of night I put a pearl in the ground
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not so far
I found your ring with the feather on
One arm in and one arm gone
Save this ring let's bring Paris right here
Oh, my dear
My love
Do you know, my love? do you know?
I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you've been
There's gauze over my eyes
But you're leaving this trail
I'm crawling through landmines
I know cause I planted them
Under cover of night I put my heart in the ground
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not so far
I found your glove with the leather torn
Five fingers that I'm counting on
Smoke signals to call you right here
Oh, my love
My dear
my love
my dear
Just to know where you are
There's smoke in my eyes
Cause you're burning the ground
I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you are
Under cover of night I put a pearl in the ground
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not so far
I found your ring with the feather on
One arm in and one arm gone
Save this ring let's bring Paris right here
Oh, my dear
My love
Do you know, my love? do you know?
I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you've been
There's gauze over my eyes
But you're leaving this trail
I'm crawling through landmines
I know cause I planted them
Under cover of night I put my heart in the ground
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go?
Not so far
Please don't go
Not so far
I found your glove with the leather torn
Five fingers that I'm counting on
Smoke signals to call you right here
Oh, my love
My dear
my love
my dear

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
this is without a doubt about a relationship that someone is desperate to stay in. "I'm crawling through landmines Just to know where you are" she'll do anything to stay in the relationship, even though the effort is hurting her. "There's smoke in my eyes cause you're burning the ground" and her lover is trying to cut off their ties, whether it's because it's for the better good, or because they enjoy being in control of her. "I put a pearl in the ground" metaphorically she will sacrifice the most precious of things just to be with them (regardless of the explosives haha?). In the end, she knows she "planted them" the bombs, essentially she knows she's hurting herself. Her heart in the ground is her final attempt to stay together or bring her lover back. As for the verses I dont really get em, I think the end she is finding more clues about her lover, perhaps he's disappeared. MAYBE THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE DEATH ABOUT HER LOVE. Lol I don't know but I just wanted to write this, it's long but I love the way it's written. One of my faves from her.
