The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Por tantas vezes eu menti
Até que ela se cansou
Agora quem chora sou eu
O pranto que ela já chorou
The love I know I took for granted
Until she walked out of my door
Too little, too late to say I'm sorry
'Cause she's not crying anymore
Ela não vai mais chorar
Não vai mais ficar sozinha
Um sorriso em seu olhar
Diz pra mim que um outro alguém
Já tomou o meu lugar
She's not crying anymore
She ain't lonely any longer
There's a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She's not crying anymore
Ela nem vai me escutar
Depois de tudo que passou
Eu sei que é tarde pra tentar
Ela já tem um novo amor
Sometimes you know I feel so foolish
If Knew then what I know now
Another tear would never fall
'Cause I'd give our love my all
If we could work things out somehow
Ela não vai mais chorar
Não vai mais ficar sozinha
Um sorriso em seu olhar
Diz pra mim que um outro alguém
Já tomou o meu lugar
She's not crying anymore
She ain't lonely any longer
There's a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She's not crying anymore
There's a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She's not crying anymore
Até que ela se cansou
Agora quem chora sou eu
O pranto que ela já chorou
The love I know I took for granted
Until she walked out of my door
Too little, too late to say I'm sorry
'Cause she's not crying anymore
Ela não vai mais chorar
Não vai mais ficar sozinha
Um sorriso em seu olhar
Diz pra mim que um outro alguém
Já tomou o meu lugar
She's not crying anymore
She ain't lonely any longer
There's a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She's not crying anymore
Ela nem vai me escutar
Depois de tudo que passou
Eu sei que é tarde pra tentar
Ela já tem um novo amor
Sometimes you know I feel so foolish
If Knew then what I know now
Another tear would never fall
'Cause I'd give our love my all
If we could work things out somehow
Ela não vai mais chorar
Não vai mais ficar sozinha
Um sorriso em seu olhar
Diz pra mim que um outro alguém
Já tomou o meu lugar
She's not crying anymore
She ain't lonely any longer
There's a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She's not crying anymore
There's a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She's not crying anymore

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
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
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/

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
