This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fuckin' fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I'm getting thinner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fuckin' fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I'm getting thinner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

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.
I love this song. It's so true at how people look at publicity and becoming famous. 'I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror' is obviously about people looking to the papers to gage their success (The Sun and The Mirror newpapers).
It's pretty self explanatory and I just love the way it's taking a good look at the people we're forced to idolise. Young girls care about getting famous so much they will take their clothes off to get there and it's a sad thing when you see what it's come to.
I don't think the sun and mirror are references to those paricular newspapers. I think the sun is the lives of celebraties and the mirror is looking to see how you LOOK, instead of who you are.<br />
there is no shortage of wisdom and insight in these lyrics. <br /> <br /> in fact, i think both interpretations are equally valid and i have no doubt that the lyrics were constructed to convey both of these messages.
Actually, I think the "sun" and mirror here refers to coke. There have been other references to coke with the word "sun" in other songs by other artists, as well. But here, with the sun and the mirror together, it makes perfect sense. Doing lines on a mirror.<br /> <br /> Also, the line "as long as I'm getting thinner..." along with the sun and the mirror just makes it spot on references to coke.<br /> <br /> Or at least that's how I'm looking at it.
According to her in an interview, The Fear is literally Perez Hilton.
The best song Lily Allen's ever written. Really, really good. I wasn't ever really a fan of hers. Her previous songs were catchy but nothing great and I just kinda forgot them after a while. But I'm very pleasantly surprised with this. She's done a good job here. I like how she's taken her experiences of being famous and turned them into such a great song. She's a very witty lyricist.
Yeah its a pretty fun song. A half sarcastic look at, and half confession of her life in the public eye. A bit of a stab at some of the more pious celebrities too I'd imagine. Little self-reflection thrown in the chorus too.
i have always maintained that nobody can sound so pleasant and graceful while totally shredding you with words than Lily Allen
and here we go again with this song ;)
its "i look at The Sun and i look in The Mirror" as in the tabloids!!
I think it's about how being famous and having loads of money is messing with her head abit. The video kinda goes with that idea as well, it's all surreal and overly nice and kinda werid.
I think "I'm packing plastic" is about credit cards, because the next line "I am a weapon of massive consumption" is all about being a consumer, or a shopaholic.
I agree. That is many people's defense mechanism. "I can break any law, do anything I want because I am packing plastic, and that is the cure to my pain, or the shield from danger around me" believe it or not people think that way. They think money can save them from everything, but I see very rich people still checking out (killing themselves), and overdosing on narcotics... I wonder why that is....?
I LOVE this song...the lyric's are so real
I think its about how she see's young people growing up...craving material stuff over the important things in life....The chorus is about herself as she doesnt know whats real anymore due to the people around her being so stupid...it's her "fear"
wow glad I read these lyrics when the line came up (And I am a weapon of massive consumption and its not my fault it’s how I’m program to function) I thought she was saying I have a massive consumption that islam will fall becuase thats how our programs are functioned. haha don't know why I heard that hardly makes sense still kinda sounds like that when I go back and listen to it.
haha islam will fall<br /> lol
