This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I woke up early on a Friday night
My head was spinning from the neon lights
Took pills and whiskey just to ease my pain
My tears were falling down like acid raindrops
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
I get my comfort any way I can
Don't get no love from any girl or man
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
Truly comfortable, truly comfortable
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
I hear the music on the radio
I watch the people as they come and go
Another day goes by I stay at home
I've got your picture but I'm all alone
Look in the mirror and I see myself
The perfect picture of my fading health
No one there who wants to look me up
Go to the kitchen and I drink a cup
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
Truly comfortable, truly comfortable
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
Go to the window on a Friday night
This time around I'll take a different flight
I took my chances any way I could
I've tried my hardest but it's just no good
Look at the pictures thrown across the floor
I don't believe that I can take much more
I pull the covers way above my head
The ceiling crumbles all around my bed
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
Truly comfortable, truly comfortable
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
My head was spinning from the neon lights
Took pills and whiskey just to ease my pain
My tears were falling down like acid raindrops
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
I get my comfort any way I can
Don't get no love from any girl or man
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
Truly comfortable, truly comfortable
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
I hear the music on the radio
I watch the people as they come and go
Another day goes by I stay at home
I've got your picture but I'm all alone
Look in the mirror and I see myself
The perfect picture of my fading health
No one there who wants to look me up
Go to the kitchen and I drink a cup
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
Truly comfortable, truly comfortable
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
Go to the window on a Friday night
This time around I'll take a different flight
I took my chances any way I could
I've tried my hardest but it's just no good
Look at the pictures thrown across the floor
I don't believe that I can take much more
I pull the covers way above my head
The ceiling crumbles all around my bed
Ain't got no one that I can call my own
I do my talking on the telephone
Truly comfortable, truly comfortable
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so
I've never been so, I've never been so

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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
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
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.
