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.
She carries a tiny man in her pocket
To help her keep things in place
The pitter patter on the windowsill
Sunrise, sunset, yet she remains the same
Maybe you should get out for a while
Just watch it 'cause you'll smile
Instead you elect to stay inside
Where the green grass dies and will always cloud your mind
Cloud your mind
I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time
She carries a picture of her best friend
It reminds her of days gone by
She says I pray to Jesus almost every night
But here I sit and wonder why
The big man in the sky don’t change my life
So I play guitar for her
In hopes that maybe it will give her a start
Give her some start
I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time
Yeah, you never did
You never did
You never did
Yeah, you never did
You never did
You never did
Open up your world to me
Yeah, I will sing you happy
I make you light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Well, light up
Yeah my love
She carries a tiny man in her pocket
It helps her keep things in place
To help her keep things in place
The pitter patter on the windowsill
Sunrise, sunset, yet she remains the same
Maybe you should get out for a while
Just watch it 'cause you'll smile
Instead you elect to stay inside
Where the green grass dies and will always cloud your mind
Cloud your mind
I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time
She carries a picture of her best friend
It reminds her of days gone by
She says I pray to Jesus almost every night
But here I sit and wonder why
The big man in the sky don’t change my life
So I play guitar for her
In hopes that maybe it will give her a start
Give her some start
I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time
Yeah, you never did
You never did
You never did
Yeah, you never did
You never did
You never did
Open up your world to me
Yeah, I will sing you happy
I make you light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Well, light up
Yeah my love
She carries a tiny man in her pocket
It helps her keep things in place

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
