Oh the blood, oh the blood, oh the massacre!

Your love will run and hide,
And leave me on my own,
The true ones will fall,
So hard baby, that's why this hurts.

I always thought that you would be the one,
But baby just give me a chance,
I always thought that you would be the one,
But baby just give me a chance.

This is the last chance you get what you want,
And I'll never be the one to turn on you,
And I get what I want, and I said,
I'll do anything, anything for you.

I'll pull apart this possibility,
From one night stands,
You give it away for just one night,
I'll give you all I had.

I always thought that you would be the one,
But baby just give me a chance.

Oh the blood, oh the blood, oh the massacre!

    First, an interpretation:

    A guy is heartbroken beyond repair ("OH THE BLOOD OH THE BLOOD OH THE MASSACRE!") He thought this girl was the one. ("I always thought that you would be the one"), but she left him ("Your love will run and hide, And leave me on my own"), and he is heartbroken ("The true ones will fall, So hard baby, that's why this hurts"). SO he asks her for another chance ("But baby just give me a chance"). so then she decides she wants him back ("This is the last chance you get what you want"). He explains to her he will never leave her ("And I'll never be the one to turn on you"). He then explains that he will do anything for her ("And I get what I want, and I said, I'll do anything, anything for you.") Now he's asking to sleep with her, and he explains he'll never leave her after the first night, and that he'll give her all he has if she'd just sleep with him once. ("I'll pull apart this possibility, From one night stands, You give it away for just one night, I'll give you all I had.") But she leaves him anyways, without giving him a chance. ("I always thought that you would be the one, But baby just give me a chance.") At the end of the song, a group of people scream, "OH THE BLOOD...", which i think means that everyone has to deal with breakups at some point in their lives.

    Second, my opinion:

    Both the EP and the studio version of this song are amazing. The contrast between the disonance when Austin screams, and the assonance when Johnny sings is very artistic. Also, Andrew does an amazing job on drums. THe drum part is so technical, yet musically in balance. It keeps the metal feel although he doesn't overdo it. In my opinion, this was the best song that Attack Attack! made while Austin was still in the band. Attack Attack! 4 lyf3!

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
