You're the analyst,
The fungus in my milk,
When you want no-one,
And you got someone,
Through the wind you crawl,
And laugh at burning dunes,
When no-one else will ever see

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head
Whilst they wait for no-one
And finally I know why you feel like letting it go

I'm watching you, watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here

Mistakes don't mean a thing,
If you don't regret them,
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall,
To a burned and withered skin
When no-one else will ever see

I'm watching you, watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head
Whilst they wait for no-one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting me go

I'm Watching you, watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here

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/
