I wanna be free
I just wanna be free...

Here I am feeling solo and confused
Looking into what is right and what is true
So I know what may be promised is wrong
So I'll go halfway into the galaxy of hope while I seek...

(Chorus)
Freedom
Come along, come along
Expression
Sing my song, sing my song

So I'll make a choice to be me for money
'cause they say both are impossible for me
But I know that there is room to learn and to grow
So I'll show them that whatever life brings me I'll cope

(Repeat Chorus)

(Vocal run)
When life feels rough, where do you go?
(It's just not enough, just not enough for me)

When compromise won't work on life...
(It's just not enough, just not enough for me)

The world's remarks are so chalant...
(It's just not enough, just not enough for me)

When time regrets you're on this place...
(It's just not enough, just not enough for me)

(Bridge)
I wanna be free
I just wanna be free
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

So I'll live to survive and to be real
And I'll give my story as long as my will...

I'll be free of all the living boundaries set for me
And I'll see whatever this world offers for freedom-dom-dom-dom-dom-dom
This world is so jaded by sugar plums and palm trees
But rosy cheeks ole last for so long, last for so long, last for so long...

    Maybe she's talking about the music industry, at first she's debating if this is something she wants to do because the industry can be shady and vain; she then decides, yes, this is something she'd like to pursue but in her own right.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/
