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.
Enlight your sense of thought, of touch, of real, a shield
An underground for this coward
Building a blood in water scent
It's like some raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Serve and protect you
His dick his gun, his brain his badge
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)
Arm yourself, a branch, a third arm
Expand your health, crawl inside euphoria
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, it's entrapment
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his getting by is a fisted fuck
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves
Half assed for most his life
Piss poor little ham
Narc boy, a fake fuck limp dick
Sucking up to the man, yeah
And the world
We need another cold war
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his dick his gun, his brain his badge
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Our fucking selves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)
An underground for this coward
Building a blood in water scent
It's like some raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Serve and protect you
His dick his gun, his brain his badge
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)
Arm yourself, a branch, a third arm
Expand your health, crawl inside euphoria
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, it's entrapment
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his getting by is a fisted fuck
A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long
Absorb through pores the great escape
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Ourselves
Half assed for most his life
Piss poor little ham
Narc boy, a fake fuck limp dick
Sucking up to the man, yeah
And the world
We need another cold war
Building a blood in water scent
It's like a raping, without judgement
Boy in a pocket, balls in a bag
Perverted handle, his dick his gun, his brain his badge
Aah
Kill that fuck to show him up
Equal his displeasure now
Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for
Our fucking selves (ourselves, ourselves, ourselves)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
