It's like we're trapped inside an empty room
No light of day, a single ray, could break this feeling of doom
I look across, who do I see, it's you and only you
But I ain't taking this, no not this time
You turn my mind into an ugly sight
You better run and fucking hide

Let's settle the score, we're going to war
I'm over falling for your fucking traps
It's taking control, destroying my soul
I'll feel better once these walls collapse

I'll give the devil my taunted soul
Before I let you take control
No more begging on my knees
It's time you slipped into eternal sleep
I'd rather burn in a sea of flames
Than be pulled into your twisted games
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Close your eyes and go to sleep

You're nothing but a parasite
It's time to kiss your ass goodbye

Let's settle the score, we're going to war
I'm over falling for your fucking traps
It's taking control, destroying my soul
I'll feel better once these walls collapse

I am the boss, and it's time to cut you off
Life must go on but, I will never forget

Back when we were young
When you didn't have much to say
When we were young
You'll pull me under but not today

Let's settle the score, we're going to war
I'm over falling for your fucking traps
It's taking control, destroying my soul
You took my life, now I'm taking it back

I'm taking it back
I'm taking it

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about extinguishing from your life those who are no longer welcome in it - those who are only there to cause you torment & harm.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
