There is a wall of silence in our way
What's quiet in the voices I cannot say
Through all the walls I fought in my mind
And your eyes are the only refuge I find

So we moved under the spotlight
And never thought about the price we'd pay
When all the world around us slipped away

Hey, is there a place for us
Where flames flicker and wave for us
And we can see the future and the dreams it's made of
Hey, is there a place
A place for us

A place for us

Well I'm not afraid to die here
But damned if I go on living a lie here

So long we revelled in the spotlight
And never think about the price we'd pay
When all the world around us slipped away

Hey, is there a place for us
Where flames flicker and wave for us
And we can see the future and the dreams it's made of
Hey, is there a place
A place for us

A place for us

Now from the streets we run
Eyes wild like the sun
We are the new creators
We are the chosen ones

And as the city blazes
You hear a voice that you can trust
Singing is this the place for us

Hey, is there a place for us
Where flames flicker and wave for us
And we can see the future and the dreams it's made of
Hey, is there a place
A place for us

A place for us
A place for us
A place for us
A place for us

    This song reminds me of Katniss and Peeta on the Victory Tour. He says, "For so song we reveled in the spotlight but we never think about the price we'd pay." Katniss and Peeta walk a thin tightrope trying to appease Snow and the districts. They try so hard to find a place were they belong and the bridge says, Now from the streets we run "Eyes wild like the sun We are the new creators We are the chosen ones

    And as the city blazes You hear a voice that you can trust Singing is this the place for us"

    I think this means that Katniss and Peeta both choose the route of rebellion and now they finally found a place where they can belong. Just my interpretation.

    My Opinion

    I think the song is from Peeta's view about how he always strives for Katniss, would die for Katniss.

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/

Punchline
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.

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.
