Meanings of elements

CONTROL over LINE BY LINE, TIME AND TIME AGAIN with SINGING
…or: WORDS with LONG FUTURE
…or: INTERCOURSE FOREVER

Could have various but related meanings: to「speak a long time」as with a formal RECITATION.「Words that will endure a long time」as with a great POEM. To「speak with long, drawn out tones and pauses」for dramatic effect during an ORATION. To be able to「say the same thing for a long while」due to memorization of the words.
　As「oral pleasure forever」likely a reference to the「singing girls」(with「singing」being a Chinese euphemism for oral activities, fellatio and cunnilingus to name two) that extended to POETRY, SONGS, RECITATION, ORATION, and in Japan to geisha. It is not difficult to imagine a woman or man starting to moan and then progressively becoming louder like SINGING a song or just plain hollering a single musical note as the teasing oral stimulation continues unabated with skillful, soft tonguing motions (like those of a singer, hence the「singing girls」), as if「intercourse is taking forever, an eternal amount of time.」A DIVA is a highly distinguished female singer, and the word originates from divine, a goddess, a really good singing girl. Further note that we still sing love songs today, and, the singing girls are still working hard.
　「Palming head」or「changing state」with「line after line, once and once again」「singing」suggests a caregiver or mother lulling a child to sleep with the same lullaby and other actions night after night.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
