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.
Out for a thrill
Got time to kill
Just livin' up my dreams
for heaven's sake
She's on the make
A twisted vicar's queen
And then one night we took a ride
She was all over me
Outrageous
Just ain't real
I was too wasted to see
Before you get in too deep
And you get burned by the heat
Oh yeah
She'll take you there
You know it happened to me
She'll make your heart break
She'll give you fever
She'll tell you everything but don't believe her
A perfect stranger
She knows the game
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her
Out on the street of broken dreams
Where no one ever wins
Just when you thought you'd made a start
You're back where you begin
Before you get in too deep
And you get burned by the heat
Oh yeah
She'll take you there
I think you know what I mean
She'll make you crazy
She's such a teaser
Says you're the only one but don't believe her
She deals in danger
The girl's insane
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her
Before you get in too deep
And you get burned by the heat
Oh yeah
She'll take you there
You know it happened to me
Don't believe her (Don't believe her)
Don't believe her (Don't believe her)
Don't believe her (Don't believe her)
I can't believe her (Don't believe her)
She'll make your heart break
She'll give you fever
She'll tell you everything but don't believe her
A perfect stranger
She knows the game
She'll promise heaven on earth
She'll make you crazy
She's such a teaser
Says you're the only one but don't believe her
She deals in danger
The girl's insane
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her
Don't believe her
Don't believe her
Don't believe her
Don't believe her
Got time to kill
Just livin' up my dreams
for heaven's sake
She's on the make
A twisted vicar's queen
And then one night we took a ride
She was all over me
Outrageous
Just ain't real
I was too wasted to see
Before you get in too deep
And you get burned by the heat
Oh yeah
She'll take you there
You know it happened to me
She'll make your heart break
She'll give you fever
She'll tell you everything but don't believe her
A perfect stranger
She knows the game
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her
Out on the street of broken dreams
Where no one ever wins
Just when you thought you'd made a start
You're back where you begin
Before you get in too deep
And you get burned by the heat
Oh yeah
She'll take you there
I think you know what I mean
She'll make you crazy
She's such a teaser
Says you're the only one but don't believe her
She deals in danger
The girl's insane
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her

Don't believe her (Don't believe her)
Don't believe her (Don't believe her)
Don't believe her (Don't believe her)

Don't believe her
Don't believe her

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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/
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.
