Of all the shooting stars I knew
I never felt at ease with anyone but you
Don't ever wonder where I go
Remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow

When everything around turns blue
Just fall asleep and wake when it's all through

There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play

And now I've lost your touch again
I know I'm only one in 20,000 men
I promise not to let you go
Just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow

When I finally wash ashore
I'm coming back to kiss the girl I kissed before
Of all the shooting stars I knew
I never fell for anyone but you

There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play
There's battle scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out everyday
There's battle scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me anyway

(And driving home from your house at night I blink and make a hard right
The tape you gave me flies across the dash and slaps me in the face)

    I think this song has a deeper meanign than just being able to relate to it. The opening lyric: of all the shootingstars i knew i never felt at ease with anyone but you don't ever wonder where i go remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow

    In my mind makes reference to someone loosing a lover over something stupid.

    the next line: when everything around turns blue just fall asleep and wake when it's all through

    I think it's saying that life is sorta like a dream, good bad, it's still there.

    the next line: there's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out here and play

    the guitar reference is easily assosiated with his heart, there's scars, but still he talks to her.

    Then the next line: and now i've lost your touch again i know i'm only one in 20,000 men i promise not to let you go just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow

    It's the artist telling that s/he had lost the person he's in love with. and How he wishes it was a dream.

    next line is the chorus, see above and it works with all of them into some body party of soul ect.

    Thank you, I bought this cd after watching a Mtv2 interview with the band from the Vans Warped Tour

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
