Such a pretty face
Radiant, I saw you across the room
I knew I had to have you
Thus started the chase
I knew I would do anything to take your hand and make you mine
But I learned long ago
If you love someone you have to let it go
Let it go, Let it go
The hardest part of letting go is saying
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

Feathered away in a makeshift cell
Beneath the venomous moonlight
I unleash my plan to watch you fail
The one I am so ?
Go to sleep my love
And taste my sweet revenge upon your lips
Sealed with a kiss

I return to the masquerade ball
And hear the news of your weeping
Stone by stone imbued in the wall
Forever left for safekeeping
Go to sleep my love
And taste my sweet revenge upon your lips
Sealed with a kiss

But I learned long ago
If you love someone you have to let it go
Let it go, let it go
The hardest part of letting go is saying
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
(Goodbye)
(Let it go)

    These are the right lyrics, not aristuma21's.

    This song seems to be about a person who falls in love with someone, and they become a couple. Soon, something happens that makes the main character turn against his love, and plots revenge towards her. At the end, he leaves her behind.

    Very emotional and powerful song, one of my favorites on Endgame.

    This song has two different meanings in it, hardest part of letting go is about how dave mustaine met his wife, and sealed with a kiss, like rebellion11 said is about Edgar Allen Poe's writing of the cask of amontillado, very awesome song by the way

    I can't believe it, aristuma, you copied another user's lyrics again, you motherfucker. First on my This Day We Fight page, and then here. I hope the staff finally decides to kick you out of the site as the false idiot you are.

    I agree with you megadeth91768. And he says that his wife Pam didnt like the song. I presume he change some parts of the lyric and added sealed with a kiss with it. That made one of the best songs ever created!

    Close on Poe's story, "The Cask of Amontillado." But a better fit would be Poe's "The Black Cat," since this story is about a woman that he killed and kept her in immurement in his celler. In "The Black Cat" the narriator kills out of rage, while in the "The Cask of Amontillado," the narriator kills out of revenge. I don't think this makes for a good love song. I would not recomend putting this song on a mix tape for a girl.

    This may not be the meaning but to me it means something along the lines of a Man meeting a woman, falling for her (but not her falling for him). Then she meets someone else before he can do anything and he waits patiently waiting and hoping for her relationship fails so he can get another chance. Although he realizes that he should just give up on her and let her go be with another person and not to hope for her relationships to fail so he can get another chance that wont be taken.

    That's just what it seems to me though.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
