This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
A child chased a fantasy
And barked his boyhood battle cries
Through a cemetery
Of cubicles and bloodshot eyes
A businessman rebuked the child
For whimsical behavior
Ironically, The Corporate Corpse
Was chastising it's savior.
The child choked
The Corporate Corpse
With words of waning ivelihood
The corpse then coughed up dormant dreams
That flourished in its childhood
Dreams that were ostracized
By notions of reality
Dreams too easily replaced
By routing practicality.
The Warrior Child rebuked the courpse
For drowning in a lie
And allowing social patterns
To leash it with a tie
The Child left The Corporate Corpse
To swallow all his words
The Corpse then yearned to live
And leave the corporate herds.
And barked his boyhood battle cries
Through a cemetery
Of cubicles and bloodshot eyes
A businessman rebuked the child
For whimsical behavior
Ironically, The Corporate Corpse
Was chastising it's savior.
The child choked
The Corporate Corpse
With words of waning ivelihood
The corpse then coughed up dormant dreams
That flourished in its childhood
Dreams that were ostracized
By notions of reality
Dreams too easily replaced
By routing practicality.
The Warrior Child rebuked the courpse
For drowning in a lie
And allowing social patterns
To leash it with a tie
The Child left The Corporate Corpse
To swallow all his words
The Corpse then yearned to live
And leave the corporate herds.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

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'

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/
Alright then, I shall pop the cherry on the Crumbling Arches lyrics discussion. I only recently started listening to this song, but once I finally listened to it all of the way through and read the lyrics, it became one of my favorite CA songs. I love the use of the phrase “Corporate corpse” to describe the man who has conformed to society’s standards and expectations. Essentially, although he appears successful, he is dead inside. Listening to this song always inspires me to put away my math homework and continue working on writing my novels again. The child in the song helps me remember and focus on my own goals, just like he helps the Corporate corpse remember his childhood ambition to sail the seas.
