So lonely on your own
So hard to be alone
I know you were once before
Someone came and opened up the door

And then out you flew
Out you flew and all you saw
Was someone standing with their dreams
Run, run away

In your darkest hour
I will be the only one to send relief
The only chance for you

Suddenly it?s changed
You opened up and find
Something deep inside that tells you
You were the fool to lend yourself

To such amusing games
Take yourself and make your name
And leave you there without your dreams
Run, run away

In your darkest hour
I will be the only one to send relief
The only chance you'll see, run away

In your darkest hour
I will be the only one who knows
Just how to scold you and to say run
In the darkness

And now it?s come to pass
And now we're here at last
I know you sometimes think of me
I know a foolish child would scream

It?s hard to think and hold you tight
It?s hard to be unbending when there's
Everything you've stripped from me
So run, run away

'Cause in your darkest hour
I will be the only one to send relief
The only chance for you, run on

In your darkest hour
I will be the only one who knows
Just how to hold you once again, run on

In the darkness, run on
Ooh, shattered dreams, run on

In your darkest hour
I will be the only one who's left with you
The only one for you, run on

In your darkest hour
I will be the only one to send relief
Only chance for you, run on, and on, and on

In the darkness, run on
Ooh, in the darkness, oh, no

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
