we were always meant to be
and even if you disagree
you could never get away
with your arm chained to the gate

sometimes i can't control the things i do
but you know i only want the best for you
is it too much to ask to hear you say?
i will not defy you

and if something goes awry
i'll forgive you love, in time
there's no secret you can't keep
there's no cut that is too deep

sometimes i can't control the things i do
but you know i only want the best for you
and if i should find that you could ever stray
i would crucify you

oh, and i will run you through
to show i care, to long for you
promises i'll hold you to
and you to me, an eye to you

oh, and i will run you through
to show i care, to long for you
promises i'll hold you to
and you to me, i'm watching you

sometimes i can't control the things i do
but you know i only want the best for you
somehow you never seem to go my way, hey hey
so i must crucify you

    perhaps a guy in a relationship inwhich he is far to possesive, he needs her spoken reasurrance that she won't defy him, most likely cheat on him. she's manipulated by him or loves him to much to leave. he finds it hard to forgive her actions but his possesive nature is surely just as bad, perhaps he finds he has to watch her and be so possesive as to stop her doing him wrong, but likely this posessive nature gives her reason to betray him. maybe the relationship ends around half way through the song but he remains strong in the promises they made and that he is just as posessive as a friend than as a boyfriend and so she continues to dettach herself from him

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
