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"
Oh, oh, oh
Got a few cars in my garage
Still I like to ride them old school
How them gangstas do
Yeah, yeah
And I keep away pimping on 2's and 4's
Riding through the hood showing love to my folks
Know how that go
Yes you do
So I seen her at the bus stop eying me
Hot as hell but fly as can be
Yes she was
Yes she was
And finally ended up taking a ride wit me
Whipping that side
That's the gator
And you know
And you know
Ghetto as you are
You're my superstar
Like how you get wild
Like the pokahome
On the hood of my car
Ghetto as you are
Ghetto as you are
Let me lay you back
Listen to this hood guitar
Now I roll these deuces and serve these streets
It ain't my fault I came up with G's
Know what I mean
Can you feel me
Sometimes situations go all wrong
Can't turn my back cause those my dogs
They just ain't cha boy
Those out there who ain't feeling me
I gotta explain myself
I gotta girl that understands me
And we don't need no help
No, no, no as hood as you are
Don't change a thing
We can it tune it like guitar strings
Ghetto as you are
You're my superstar
Like how you get wild
Like the pokahome
On the hood of my car
Ghetto as you are
Ghetto as you are
Let me lay you back
Listen to this hood guitar
Don't change a thing I like you just the way you are
Baby you're a star
Ghetto as you are
Don't change a thing I like you just the way you are
Baby you're a star
Ghetto as you are
Sometimes you be kinda hard
Like you're tryin'a be my bodyguard
On the boulevard
Still its like I said before, baby
Hood as you are don't change a thing
We can tune it like guitar strings,
Baby it don't even matter babe
Ghetto as you are
You're my superstar
Like how you get wild
Like the pokahome
On the hood of my car
Ghetto as you are
Ghetto as you are
Let me lay you back
Listen to this hood guitar
You you you are
You're just like the earth to the moon to the stars
Ain't one bad as you, not as you thus far
Ghetto as you are (cause beautiful as you are)
Wouldn't change a thing (beautiful as you are)
Wouldnâ??t change what you are
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Got a few cars in my garage
Still I like to ride them old school

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/
