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.
Get in the car, boy
1, 2, 3, 4
Light and motion
Empty highway
Movin' forward
Feeling my weight
1, 2, 3, 4
Sound and tension
Teaching me time
Holdin' me down
Breaking my ass
There is no light
There is no light
Death is the hard song
There is no light
Death is the hard song
Why make me a sinner when I do just what you say?
Why call me a killer if I give myself away?
I give up
1, 2, 3, 4
I am reborn
Feeling new weight
I'm born of motion
Born of hate
There is no wrong
There is no right
There is no light
Death is the hard song
Why make me a sinner when I do just what you say?
Why call me a killer if I give myself away?
Why make me a sinner when I do just what you say?
Why call me a killer if I give myself away?
I slam in sideways through the door
Sleek, but not sober
Something in me open, unfinished
I pull the sheet back off your unconscious form
Shed the liquor from my Coke bottle
I get what I came for
I find closure, I achieve cluthes
I take the matches from my pocket
Yeah, I strike one
I count to ten
And I let the matches fall (I'm a hard pig)
I let the matches fall (I'm a hard pig)
I'm a hard pig
I'm a hard pig
I'm a hard pig
I'm a hard pig
I'm a hard pig
I'm a... hard pig
I'm a... hard pig
I'm a... hard pig
I'm a... hard pig

I'm a... hard pig
I'm a... hard pig
I'm a... hard pig
I'm a... hard pig

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
