I'm Not Sorry

Celeste Buckingham

So you wanna push me
Take my edges away
And try to make me something different
You think you can mold me
Like I'm made of clay
And erase all my innocence

Don't put me in a box 'cause my soul's all I got
And I ain't getting another one
Oh I may feel a lot

But I'm not sorry
I'm not worried
I'm not ashamed to be the girl I am
I can't hide it
Not trying to fight it
I'm just doing the very best that I can
You want me to lie and apologize
For what's inside of me

But I'm not sorry, no, I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry, no, I'm not sorry

So go ahead and hate me
For who I am
Or love me for who I'll never be
It's not always pretty
I get black and blue
There's more to me than you'll ever see

You don't like what I am
You don't think that I can
But I don't need your approval
No, you won't understand

But I'm not sorry
I'm not worried
I'm not ashamed to be the girl I am
I can't hide it
Not trying to fight it
I'm just doing the very best that I can
You want me to lie and apologize
For what's inside of me

But I'm not sorry no I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry no I'm not sorry

It's not wrong when I make a mistake,
So what do you want?
Do you wanna see me break?

But I'm not sorry
I'm not worried
I'm not ashamed to be the girl I am
I can't hide it
Not trying to fight it
I'm just doing the very best that I can

So I'm not sorry
I'm not worried
I'm not ashamed to be the girl I am
I can't hide it
Not trying to fight it
I'm just doing the very best that I can
You want me to lie and apologize
For what's inside of me

But I'm not sorry, I'm not sorry, sorry
I'm not sorry, I'm not sorry no no

I'm not sorry, I'm not sorry

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.
