Lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight
Lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight

We're enchanted, struck by lightning
What can we do when the feelings so exciting?
We just ran into each other
Now we can't refuse, 'cause the night is so inviting

You sure took me by surprise, I ain't fooling
Everything is synchronized in a movement
When I met you, I knew there was a reason
Every moment that we've shared guarantees it

We... we won't be lonely tonight
Must be miles ago since we first said "hello"
We won't let us out of our sights
Passion has to grow, darling because we know

Riding our tide, luck is with us
We run the risk when we've got so much to give us
Fate's on our side, and it's our moment
We're getting warm, 'cause we give each other shivers

Yeah, let's keep the fire alight
Nothing can go wrong, we're together from now on
Oh, all the love we excite
Loneliness has gone, did it take us so long?

Can't remember life without your music
Oh, there never was a doubt, don't we prove it?
You sure took me by surprise, I ain't fooling
Everything is synchronized in a movement

We're enchanted, struck by lightning
What can we do when the feeling's so exciting?
We just ran into each other
Now we can't refuse, 'cause the night is so inviting

We won't be lonely tonight
Must be miles ago since we first said "hello"
We won't let us out of our sights
Passion has to grow, darling because we know

Yeah, let's keep the fire alight
Nothing can go wrong, we're together from now on
Oh, all the love we excite
Loneliness has gone, did it take us so long?

    Must be about a love between two people that is taking or has taken so long to reignite the spark between them

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

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.
