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.
I didn't know it could feel like this
I didn't know the hurt
And I try to explain to myself
But I can't find no word
So I lie about it
And I tell 'em I'm feeling fine
And I'll cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear
I didn't know it could be like this
I didn't know it could go so far
And I try to reveal the part of me
But you can't find no scar
And I lie about it
And I tell 'em I'm feeling fine
And I cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear
I didn't know the hurt
And I try to explain to myself
But I can't find no word
So I lie about it
And I tell 'em I'm feeling fine
And I'll cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear
I didn't know it could be like this
I didn't know it could go so far
And I try to reveal the part of me
But you can't find no scar
And I lie about it
And I tell 'em I'm feeling fine
And I cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear

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”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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
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.
The first time i heard this song was on Dawson's creek and i Fell in love with it.
this song made me cry, and the first time i heard it was on dawsons creek too. it truly is a great song and everyone should download it or buy the cd or something. wonderful
Is this the song from the season finale or is it from a different episode?
I -love- this song. It's so good. The song by Abra Moore on the DC season finale was "Taking Chances". I have searched high and low for it, but no luck so far :( It's an excellent song as well.
to Katydid, I got the song off of audiogalaxy and they had plenty of copies. try checking there.
Thanks, AllImLosingIsMe :) Downloaded audiogalaxy, but I haven't had any luck at all. I can't find a single copy of the song :(
that's weird! maybe im on a diff server or something, who knows, i dunno much bout computers. sorry that you can't find it!
hmm, i was reading up on d's creek, and it says that "taking chances" is the Abra Moore song played on the final episode...i want the lyrics to it but they're not on here!
That's what I said up there in my first comment. I said "Taking Chances" was the song in the DC finale, not Happiness. I have Happiness on my computer, but not Taking Chances. Taking Chances is the one I have been looking for all this time.
You guys...Happiness was played at the dance when dawson's drags Joey along so he can see Jen. He pulls Joey onto the dance floor and they dance to this song. I think it was the second or third episode of the show ever
