Hydrogen in our veins
It cannot hold itself
Our my blood is pouring
And the pressure in our bodies
That echoes up above it is exploding
And our particles they're burning up
Because they yearn for each other
And although we stick together
It seems that we are stranging one another

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

An atom to atom oh can you feel it on me love
A pattern to pattern oh can you see it on me love
Atom to atom oh what's the matter with me love

Strangeness and charm

It started from your arms and it's a catalyst
You're a chemical that burns there's nothing like this
It's the purest element but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, and you'll forever inject

Strangeness and charm

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

An atom to atom oh can you feel it on me love and
A pattern to pattern oh can you see it on me love
Atom to atom oh what's the matter with me love

Strangeness and charm

It started from your arms and it's a catalyst
You're a chemical that burns there's nothing like this
It's the purest element but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent and you'll forever inject

Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm
Strangeness and charm

It started from your arms and it's a catalyst
You're a chemical that burns there's nothing like this
It's the purest element and it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent and you'll forever inject

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and charm)

Oh, oh, down, down down down
Oh, oh, down, down down down
Oh, oh, down, down down down
Oh, oh, down, down down down

    I honestly don't know what she's saying after 'An equation heaven sent' but I don't think it rhymes with 'inject'.

    Anyway this is a lovely song, I was kind of expecting it to actually have some higher level scientific metaphors in it but they aren't there really. i think the point of the song is 'I'm so in love with my boyfriend, it's so magical a bit like science which is also kind of magical cos i don't know much about it'. And I don't mean that in a sneering nasty way, but she's obviously watched a couple of science documentaries then written a love song.

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/
