Slowly he settles down
To give them what they want
He tries to keep himself together

I would slam my head in the ground
Before i tell you this
He turns his head to the floor
As it falls away

I'm a product of your hate
Just the one that you'd create
Is anybody listening to a word I say?
I hate today

You tought me everything you know
The blame will surely show
I tried to keep it down forever

The days have taken years
To conquer all my fears
I stand before you now
Sickened and cut down

I'm a product of your hate
Just the one that you'd create
Is anybody listening to a word I say?
I hate today

    to me it's about being a product of someone who dissaproves of who you are, but really they've caused it. Hate breeds hate essentially.

    This song is about me and this guy i know. He likes me A LOT, but i only like him as a friend. I what causes him to hate so much by hurting him so much and fucking him up so much. He created it though by loving too much and letting me take ahold of his feelings and letting me twist them and break them. No one ever listens and completely unstands what I say. And i hate most of my days. Color every day black....but save one for yellow StEpHaNiE

    I think this songs about our society today or just being in a depressed mood an i get in them alot these days. In the begining of the song he says slowly he settles down to give them what they want more or less like hes saying he stays clam goes in fighting an trys to be what this world wants an he trys to keep himself together when he realizes hes not what they want or good enough, then he says i would slam my head in the ground before i tell you this to me its like hes saying i would kill myself before i let you know you got to me or let you think you won cause im not smart enought or intelligent enough to make it in this world an when he says he turns his head to the floor as it falls away i think hes saying like he turns an looks as he realizes the death of a dream of something society today said hes not good enough for. The part wheres he says im a product of your hate just the one you create sorta to me i get the feeling society today when it kicks down to the curb when your not smart enough to be something you wanna be or for any flaw that society says you have either it be your not smart enough or you dont fit the image there looking for an todays world judges you an so hes saying he has become a product of hate the one that they created an when hes saying is anybody listening to a word i say like its sorta like if your not good enough or smart enough know one will listen to you an then he says i hate today like he hates that this day has finally come its like now what am i gonna do then he says You taught me everything you know The blame will surely show I tried to keep it down forever i guess he saying like mom dad or whoever he looked up to you taught me everything you know that it wasnt good enough an it would surely show in time in are society an i tried to keep that from you trying not to hurt you, then the last verse is The days have taken years To conquer all my fears I stand before you now Sickened and cut down meaning in my mind its taking all these years in school an learning what life has to offer after you get out of school an all my fears are gone i just cant seem to get anywhere it coast so much to live or to go to another school an learn a skill yet i went for 12 yeras an learn shit so i stand before you know sickened an cut down. well thats how i look at it im probably wrong be either way its a awesome song.

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/
