All I ever heard were promises and tired excuses
I'm making up my mind right now, right now
No more looking back, now I'm looking toward the future
Waited for my time, it's right now, right now

Never fear, never fall
Never giving up til you give me what I came for
Now I think I'm losing patience
Battle stations

All eyes on me, castles falling
Glory, glory
I'll rise like a one man army
I don't wanna die without living
I can't fight without winning
All eyes on me
I'll rise like a one man army

Even when we're lost, it doesn't have to mean we're losing
I will overcome if I fight now, right now

Never fear, never fall
Never giving up til you give me what I came for
I'm through with all the time I've wasted
Battle stations

All eyes on me, castles falling
Glory, glory
I'll rise like a one man army
I don't wanna die without living
And I can't fight without winning
All eyes on me
I'll rise like a one man army

You miss all the chances you don't take (Oo)
You can't be afraid to make mistakes

All eyes on me, castles falling
Glory, glory (Oh!)

All eyes on me, castles falling
Glory, glory
I'll rise like a one man army
I don't wanna die without living
And I can't fight without winning
All eyes on me
I'll rise like a one man army
Oh oh, oh oh
I'll rise like a one man army
Oh oh, oh oh
I'll rise like a one man army

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about a call to action to those who stand around and do nothing when things in their own life are falling apart or things in the world in general are mess. They complain about whats going on around them and yet sit on their asses and do nothing within their own power to warrant change or progress.

Mountain Song
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/
