This is a different hunger
Heavier than thunder
Satisfied by love, love
I thought I said

Searching for pleasure but we only find pain
Not living in a hotel living in a brie
Chasing our chasing after lemon field
But now we all follow us down to our graves
If it ain't in here, it won't be there
I say oh yeah oh yeah

This is a different hunger
Heavier than thunder
Satisfied by love, love
I thought I said

That's what I said
Looking up, looking for a higher taste
We had it once before
But it seems to be misplaced
People come together cause it ain't no race

Always 21 every single day
If it ain't in here
It won't be there
I say oh yeah oh yeah
If it ain't in here
It won't be there
I say oh yeah oh yeah

This is a different hunger
Heavier than thunder
Satisfied by love, love
I thought I said
That's what I said

This is a different hunger
Heavier than thunder
Satisfied by love, love
I thought I said
That's what I said
Oh ooh ooh ooh
Searching for pleasure
But we only find pain

This is a different hunger
Heavier than thunder
Satisfied by love, love
I thought I said
That's what I said

This is a different hunger
Heavier than thunder
Satisfied by love, love
I thought I said
That's what I said

Oh my my, be humbler than a blade of grass
Be patient and forgiving like a tree
Speak of this love, speak of this love
The time has come to speak of this love
Speak of this love, speak of this love

    Awesome job! Just a few corrections..

    Searching for pleasure but we only find pain Not living in our hearts only living in our brains Chasing, yeah we're chasing after name and fame But none of that will follow us down to our graves

    Instead of "Always 21 every single day" it's "All is one and one is all every single day"

    And then towards the end - (some of it is my interpretation)

    To ode Mama, be humbler than a blade of grass Be patient and forgiving like the tree Take no honor for thyself, give all up to Her And chant Her sweet name unceasingly

    The time has come to speak of this love Speak of this love, speak of this love The time has come to speak of this love Speak of this love, speak of this love

    There's no prayer.. (can't really get this line) The playthings of lust or the toys of fate As many times as I may be reborn Grant me a steadfast love for the Lord

    The time has come to speak of this love Speak of this love, speak of this love The time has come to speak of this love Speak of this love, speak of this love

    Of this love

    The lines "As many times as I may be reborn, grant me a steadfast love for the Lord" really speak out to me. While I don't relate to any specific religion, I do identify myself as spiritual.. I tend to look at the universe from a Christian point of view most times because it was an important part of my upbringing but certain aspects of Hinduism make a lot of sense to me as well. I thorougly believe in the idea of reincarnation, and I hope that in my next life I'm born into an environment that nurtures my love and belief in a Higher Being.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
