Before We Die
Can the creatious night learn to prototize?
The sun sealed the day, after painting canvas sky beautifully.
And now I watch the people rolling by my window,
Wondering if they have found what they are looking for.

'Cause everyone has, *has that* song inside that will forever keep us alive.

So where are you? Oh, my listless one.
Are you still there writhing in what is gone? Because
If we don't go within then we may go without
Elation left to follow the silhouette of secrets.

Protruding evening, perhaps searching for
A new world before, before they die.
"Cause everything wants to give its gift to this silent world.
Before they die.
Die.

Where are you, oh listless one?
Are you still there writing a sad song?
And will protect our love and, oh! how I long for
The rolling hills covered in nothing green grass
Where our thoughts will in touch our skin.

Can the creations night learn to prototize?
The sun sealed the day, after painting canvas sky beautifully.
And now I watch the people rolling by my window,
Wondering if they have found what they are looking for.

'Cause everyone has, *has that* song inside that will forever keep us alive.

'Cause everything wants to give its gift to this silent world
Before they die.
Die

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.

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.
