This Dream Is Over

Mando Diao

Oh Baby, why'd you leave me
On the airport with my fingers
Put together while I was praying for your lover

But I wasn't keen on love at the moment
I didn't even like your modesty hairstyle
But then I froze when you left me for another

[Chorus]
Don't tell me this dream is over
And don't stop telling me your love
Don't tell me this dream is over
And don't stop burning my eyes my bird of blue

Oh Well I waited on the corner of your street
'Cause you're a street cat and I'm a mad dog
And this night is ours whether you want it or you don't

Well I picked you flowers and wrote you a poem
About a guy who owned the world but no women
Maybe you'll see, maybe someday that I might end you
I'll do you ill

[Chorus]

Don't tell me this dream is over

I can't live without you breath by my past babe
I can't breath without your life by my future
I can't see clear without your teardrops in my eyes

[Chorus]

Don't tell me this dream is over

Don't tell me this dream is over
Please don't tell me this dream is over now

    i think the meaning of this song is pretty obvious;the guy is in love with a girl who has "left him for another" and he doesnt want the "dream to be over" ie he doesnt want to believe that she doesnt love him anymore.

    "On the airport with my fingers Put together while I was praying for your lover I wasn’t keen on love at the moment I didn’t even like your modesty hairstyle But then I froze when you left me for another"

    so basically when they WERE together, he didnt really care that much, or he took her for granted and then when she leaves he realizes how much he needs her back

    although i dont udnerstnad the "praying for your lover" bit?

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.
