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.
(chorus)
Pillmatic breezing these down I'm poundin honey grounds
I'm pillmatic the oxycontin got my stomach rottin
Pillmatic I swear to God I'm not an addict
But I'm still at it, dang nabbit I'm pillmatic
Thinking back on when it all started
I found pink hearts in mommy's little pocket book
And took em
Poppin when she wasn't looking
I guess it runs in the family
I'm liable to eat any pill you randomly hand me
Save the greenery
I'm looking for them labels reading
may cause drowsiness be careful when operating machinery
beautiful pharmaceuticals
residue in my cuticles
sniffin them with a suitable
wishin they made em chewable
catch me in the source with five pills next to my name
like fuck five mics I want five vic fame
if killing pain is the name of the game
then I'm your number one draft pick
dash quick to the closest medicine cabinet
kill the whole bottle
never played the role model position
I'm just livin
so take 2 of these and call me in the morning
ima take 4 and finish this 40 'cause lifes boring
(chorus)
Keep the hydro unless its got codone behind it
Never have to roam far from home to find it
Writin fake scripts like my doctor signed it
Till I spelled his last name wrong
This ain't a song for the kids like the last album
Put em to bed go ahead and turn the valuum up
A couple meds to ease the pain of the papercuts
The doctor says slow down maybe later buts
40 milligrams, a 40 and I'm faded
This world is crazy so I stay medicated
Percocet, ativan, and colonapin
When my social lights are out
They turn them on again
I need em till I'm bored again
Oxycontin on juice on gin
Equals projectile wild style burner on a porcelain
(chorus)
Pillmatic breezing these down I'm poundin honey grounds
I'm pillmatic the oxycontin got my stomach rottin
Pillmatic I swear to God I'm not an addict
But I'm still at it, dang nabbit I'm pillmatic

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/
