STOP ! This feels like giving up…
was it just too fucking good ?
Watch yourself, mama ! Pack your bags !
I’ll crash into the sun before I let us float away into nothing .
Its cold outside your love,
well who’s fucking crazy now ?
Go ahead bitch ! Scream your lies !
I’ll rip you right out of my head

So here lies sick unsweetened sex appeal .
Its cyclical, your typical routine .
And so I’ll scream this in your face
but I can promise you’ll feel it between your legs .
Place the blame of blatant latent infancy
of intimacy squarely on affairs
where she was barely there emotionally !
And I could blame this on the pills,
or your family and friends but let’s be honest,
you’ve always kind of been a whore…

How’d you see a man like me
and think you were even worthy of his time ?
Take a good hard look,
cause now’s your second chance, yea .
Toss and turn while you’re thinking of me as you sleep;
it’s only natural to cry…
but shut those pretty eyes

Kiss me hard baby breathe through your fucking nose
See what you’re doing to me ?

But still…
Despite the many ways she fucked my head she never blew my mind .
And maybe this ain't what you came to see but I’m broken hearted
And since its my song and my sound and my screams and my fucking words to sing
you’ll sink your rotting gums into this .
Leave how you came if you cant stomach bullshit .
And since its my song and my words I’ll scream this in your face
and you’ll fall in love and you’ll beg for me

How’d you see a man like me
and think you were even worthy of his time ?
Take a good hard look,
cause now’s your second chance, yea .
Toss and turn while you’re thinking of me as you sleep;
it’s only natural to cry…
but shut those pretty eyes

She seemed sincere as each sin seared her tongue .
React, you worthless whore, you worthless whore .
Sink your rotting gums into this
leave how you came if you can’t stomach bullshit
Maybe this ain't what you came to see but I’m broken hearted !
Bitch, you got so many chances !
And so I’ll scream this in your face
but you will feel it right where he fucks you .

Please, love, just break how I want you to break

    My Opinion

    I think this song is a display of emotion. It's about a man who was cheated on by his girlfriend, obviously, but the lyrics are arranged in an ingenious way. He asks the girl how she can think she's worthy of him, says she's a whore and a liar, but the singer is screaming the words as if he's in pain. And he says he's broken-hearted. He's not just angry, but hurt that she would do such a thing. He's taking his comfort in trying to hurt her back. But he tries to make it look like he regards her as trash. It's really a beautiful song, lyrically.

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”

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.
