In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Look in my eyes
I'm jaded now, whatever that means
By sharing these things
I rip my heart out
It's worth my time
Whatever that means, so
Hard to see up
My neck feels stiff until I wake up
The orange I choked
And back to my neck
It's worth my time
Whatever that means, so
Share with me
'Cause I need it right now
Let me see your insides
Or write me off
'Cause I'd rather starve now
If you won't open up
Give it to me
Give me all
Whatever you want
It's never been me
To want this much
From you I can see
Yeah
Share with me
'Cause I need it right now
Let me see your insides
Or write me off
'Cause I'd rather starve now
If you won't open up
You won't open up
Tears me up
Tears me up
Tears me up
Tears me up
Look in my eyes
I'm jaded now, whatever that means
By sharing these things
I rip my heart out
It's worth my time
Whatever that means, so

'Cause I need it right now
Let me see your insides
Or write me off
'Cause I'd rather starve now
If you won't open up
Won't open up
(Share with me)
Yeah, it tears me up
('Cause I need it right now, let me see your insides)
Tears me up
(Or write me off)
And it tears me up
('Cause I'd rather starve now if you won't open up)
Tears me up
I'm jaded now, whatever that means
By sharing these things
I rip my heart out
It's worth my time

Cajun Girl

Little Feat
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”
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is definitely one of my favourite songs by The Used. As for what it's about, that's what I'm still pondering...I really gotta get their cd...NOW!! lol
This song is one of my favorite songs by The Used. It's got so much energy and the lyrics are awesome. The Used is great, I cant wait to see them at Warped.....
okay,wow i went through like the four pages of comments & hahahahah i seriously DONT thik its about sex (pervs!!) i agree with anyone who said its about a guy trying to get a girl to open up ( emotionally not sexually!) hes poured himself out and she hasnt (:
Well this song has different meanings for everyone, but one thing is certain; this song is still amazing seven years later. I believe its about someone close that you just wanna hear from and you'd give anything to know something about.
That you NEED to hear from at that very moment, this song always comes on my ipod for some reason when I'm around a certainn girl, this songs symbolism for me is confusion, in the love life (:
Wow, thats such a great song... I love this band. He has such an awsome voice.
Wow, thats such a great song... I love this band. He has such an awsome voice.
This is, by far, one of the most emotional songs on the CD. Its my favorite song right now, and I can't stop listening to it. His voice is unbelievable....vocal orgasm
i love the used! this song is amazing... i love it! im seeing them in concert in a week and im hoping so badly that they do this song!! : )
aight for those of you who are wondering what this song is about, well i think that this is about two people in a relationship. the guy has given up every secret he has ever had, he has told this girl everyhting about himself, every dark spot in his life. everythign he feels about her. and now he wants to know more about this girl, but she wont open up her insedes, she wont tell him about herself or how she feels about him. and this situation is tearing him up and he's giving up and wondering why she wont tell him. he feels that he will do anything to know her thoughts, but still nothing from this girl yet he continues to go after her, he feels like it is woth his time
I thought it was about sex. I should really stop being a teenager.<br />
Ok this is in my opinion the best song by the used but I really think this song is about a refrigerator: "I'd rather starve now if you won't open up." , " give it to me give me all whatever you want." that's about bert asking the fridge for food. " his neck is stiff because he spent the night sleeping on the ground trying to open the refrigerator.<br /> <br /> <br /> I realize this kinda seems crazy but we are talking about bert
I hope you aren't being serious..
Pipyface23 you're fuckin good man! haha! I agree :D
