A code embedded deep within!
Encrypted in vaults of bone and skin!
A tug, magnetic, toward the dark.
The wolf, voracious!
Hath witnessed it's mark.

Internal pressure growing, behind your eyes is mounting still.
Constant thoughts of evil are coming to a head inside you.
Humanity decreasing, blood is strong upon the passing winds.
To forsake would be a sin, let the night entrance you.

You'll feel the pull of the moonlight equilibrium.
Pitch black transmission of the soul.
Instincts from within rise!
We're all but beasts that hunger from inside.
Cannot escape this longing.

These symptoms don't remit, for death becoming sick.
The long hairs feel them stand, the nigh tworld calls again.
Your existence turning black, there'll be no coming back.
A desire to tear and hack, it's growing lord please help us!

You'll feel the pull of the moonlight equilibrium.
Pitch black transmission of the soul.
Instincts from within rise!
We're all but beasts that hunger from inside.
You must subdue this yearning, to feast!

That very eve the devil cameth,
And his will did force thine idle hands.
Open this heart of molten darkness,
Floweth foul rivers of the damned.

Blood of the lycan, within thee enthroned.
Heir to the cosmic fathers unknown.
Who traileth not far from where death would increase.
Seek they to murder to rid the world clean.
A curse by the ancients of bloodline befouled,
The clouds they are parting, the moon has come out!

Internal pressure growing, behind your eyes is mounting still.
Constant thoughts of evil are coming to a head inside you.
Humanity decreasing, blood is strong upon the passing winds.
To forsake would be a sin, let the night entrance you.

You'll feel the pull of the moonlight equilibrium.
Pitch black transmission of the soul.
Instincts from within rise!
We're all but beasts that hunger from inside.
Cannot repress these urges to kill!
To taste the red, your only will!
There's no salvation.

    This song is brilliant! The riffs and especially the catchy chorus is masterfully done. The Black Dahlia Murder have become one of my favourity bands; heavy, catchy, METAL!! And I agree with MorphingPretzel, this song is about a man transforming into a werewolf.

    Didn't think they could top their last album. Well, I was wrong.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
