Bodies without minds
I hear you're the ones with the bleeding hearts
Blue and bitter sweet
You tear my dreams apart.

'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad
And I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad
I think you should all get with it.

The damn don't cry
Cry out when they're betrayed
Bodies slam, they scream
As the keynote fades.

'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad
And I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad
Yeah.

How many times has the Lord called to you
Accused you of somethin' that you haven't copped to
Yeah, it happens there just was a night
My boyfriend Larry came up to me and he said
"I think you've been a, I think you've been a bad girl
Because you've been acting very bad"
I said "Yeah, because it's my world
And I've been all too bad"
I said "I suppose you care less, I think you'd better go home now
I don't want to see you no more".

I said "Baby, oh baby
I really hate to leave you
But I know there's someone else out there
That I can go home with
So, my dear, go on home, go home
You know what I'm talkin' about?"

I want ya to bring me daises
For my mad desires
And if it bites the dust
I guess you're just gonna have to miss my fire.

I was born to bad
I'm not sad
And I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad
And I'm glad I did it.

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/

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.

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.
