They all know
They all know

Sorry did I wake your dreams?
Some questions run too deep
We only only wake up when we sleep
Left by the lunar light
Trouble's all we'd find
Lost our way tonight

Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said?

Save me
I'm trapped in a vile world
Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die

Save me
I'm losing my only dream
I could use some guiding light
Some place to go
If you hear me let me know

They all know
They all know

Ever since the day you left
My fate's been set unknown
How many years to walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight
So why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?

Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did?

Save me
I'm trapped in a vile world
Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die

Save me
I'm losing my only dream
I can use some guiding light
Some place to go
If you hear me let me know
If you hear me let me know

Aaaah

Help me find my way
I said help me find my way

No pulse inside of me
Stone cold-lips and heresy
All lies and to a degree
Losing who (who) I wanna be
You'll find out right now as
He maybe out of his mind
But some day you will find
That sanity's left us all blind
And dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes
Crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die
I say it just moves on

If you'd only open your mind
Then someday you will find
Insanity's left us behind
And walked right through the door
I can see the pictures clear
As yesterday pictures of my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay
But know you're not alone

Save me,
I'm trapped in a vile world
Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die

Save me
I'm losing my only dream
I can use some guiding light
Some place to go
If you hear me let me know
If you hear me let me know

Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die
Tonight we all die young

    I'm sorry but everyone jumping to the assumption that is song is immediately about the rev is kind of annoying, yeah a lot of songs can easily be about the rev but it doesn't mean it is, and to me this song is in no way about the rev at all!

    I think it's more about life in general, "Save me, I'm trapped in a vile wolrd where every ending is the same as every other / we're only here to die" That line sums up the way I think about life more or less on a day to day basis, I'm always wondering why we live, just to die at the end of such a heard journey through life, and I pray it's worth it, because after all no one knows for a fact what happens when we die. And I find it scary, which could be why the lyrics say "Save me" as if we're scared where we don't know the answers to life and death, so save me from the fear, please explain why we're here.

    The verses just sum up how much the world can mess you up, it can completely make you insane, change the way you think about the most simplistic things.

    As for "Tonight we all die young", laugh at me all you like, but I think that lines just comical in a way to point out that by the time you hit 30/40, if you haven't achieved the things you wanted to by then there's a good chance that you're never going to. And with how hard the world really is now with economics a lot of people can relate to that.

    These are just some of my opinions, I mean this song is so complicated, and I couldn't possibly figure out what the entirety of it means. However, I definitely don't want to jump to the assumption that this one is Rev related.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
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.
