If you see me losing ground
Don't be afraid to lie
I know the pain inside my heart
Can't break the fear inside of yours
And if you see me losing faith in what it means to die
Don't let me leave before I know what lies beyond the stained-glass doors

Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

For every word we never spoke,
We have a tear to cry
For every silence's like a wall between a better you and I
So if you see me losing sight of all the death and life
Find the peace in every time I fail to see the death in mine

Let all the fear inside you drown
Tear out the blade that let you down
Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

Oh all the blood is rushing out
Oh I'm better off without
Oh the walls are closing in
Oh sing for me again

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and bones shaking from the weight?
When you lower me down beneath that sky of grey
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

    My Interpretation

    I think hes speaking to a friend, or people he cares about on this earth.

    When he says "And if you see me losing faith in what it means to die Don't let me leave before I know what lies beyond the stained-glass doors" I think this is talking about what it means to die and go to heaven as a believer in Christ, but hes losing faith in that because of the darkness of the world(losing faith in what it means to die), and hes asking the person to not let him forget about God before he leaves this world, or the light that lies outside the stain glass door, which is the glory of God and heaven.

    "Let all the fear inside you drown Tear out the blade and lay it down Save sorrow for the souls in doubt Bleed every care out" Here I think he's talking about the fear of death that Those who believe in Jesus should not have, that that sorrow should only be felt by those souls in doubt, who do not yet know the Lord.

    "For every word we never spoke, We have a tear to cry" I think this about him not taking the chance to ether tell someone about Jesus, or help them better understand that if they know Jesus death is not a scary thing, but instead joyous. For every word he kept from saving them is another tear to cry.

    anyway, this is just my interpretation of the song. I could be wrong.

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.

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.
