Oh
My love help me open my heart again
Tear it open
Let the rain fall in
Wash this hardness underneath my skin

Oh
My love let me hear your voice come through
I wanna know the love inside of you
Make this dark heart believe in what is true

I know that in the dark there's a fear of letting go
I know that in my heart that I fear what I don't know

And this feels like letting go
And this feels like letting go
I'm letting go

It's hard to trust when your hearts been broken times before
You pull the curtains and you lock the doors
Swear you'll never go out anymore

I know that in the dark there's a fear of letting go
I know that in my heart that I fear what I don't know

And this feels like letting go
And this feels like letting go

Well I'm stepping out
I can't see
There is no sound
A seeming void becomes a solid ground
A sight I lost becomes a faith I've found

And this feels like letting go
And this feels like letting go

I'm letting go
I'm letting go

I'm letting go
I'm letting go

I'm letting go
I'm letting go

Letting go
I'll let it go

    Yeah, I think it's about mistrust of love after a bad relationship. For him it's hard to open himself again and let love in. This song is amazing, I heard it for the first time on One tree hill show and I love it!

    my first posted lyrics! hah..

    i love this song. it has a lot of meaning to me right now. i think it's about letting go, obviously, but letting go of believing that love is always going to end in heartache, it's about learning to love again. i need to do that.

    We're all scared of love. Of falling in it, losing it, getting hurt, not knowing what'll happen. Even if we don't admit we are, we all are. This guy has met someone who's causing him to slowly let go of these fears. To believe in love. To start over again, despite those fears.

    My Opinion

    We all put up barriers to guard our hearts from pain; but pain is a part of love. No matter how much two people love each other, they will inevitably hurt each other. Whether you're starting a new relationship or renewing an old one, you have to trust yourself and the other person not to walk away from one little tear in your relationship. To be able to fully let go and reveal who you are, is to be vulnerable--a feeling most of us aren't comfortable with. It's a beautiful experience when you find that one person who your willing to be vulnerable for, its necessary for a successful relationship.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
