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”
This song is called
it's a metaphor fool
sixteen names on my list
but none of them could ever get me high like this
got your scars in my wrist
you're safe inside my fist (now let the fun begin! sing!)
all you are to me is dead skin
flaking off my hand onto the pavement
all you are to me is dead skin
braking up my band wont bring you payment
woah (love like no other)
woah (we told your mother)
woah (love like no other)
woah (i told your mother)
so here's the plan
you're giving in to every sick demand
buying the band our own apartment
here is your past
flashing forward out to whip your ass
into the form adorn when you were born
woah
woah (love like no other)
woah (and told your mother)
woah (love like no other)
woah (we told your bother baby boy)
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead skin (comon!)
all you are to me is dead
sixty bullets split your head
all you are to me is dead skin (gogogo)
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead skin
all you are to me is dead
sixty bullets split your head
all you are to me is dead skin
it's a metaphor fool
sixteen names on my list
but none of them could ever get me high like this
got your scars in my wrist
you're safe inside my fist (now let the fun begin! sing!)
all you are to me is dead skin
flaking off my hand onto the pavement
all you are to me is dead skin
braking up my band wont bring you payment
woah (love like no other)
woah (we told your mother)
woah (love like no other)
woah (i told your mother)
so here's the plan
you're giving in to every sick demand
buying the band our own apartment
here is your past
flashing forward out to whip your ass
into the form adorn when you were born
woah
woah (love like no other)
woah (and told your mother)
woah (love like no other)
woah (we told your bother baby boy)
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead skin (comon!)
all you are to me is dead
sixty bullets split your head
all you are to me is dead skin (gogogo)
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead
all you are to me is dead skin
all you are to me is dead
sixty bullets split your head
all you are to me is dead skin

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think this song is about someone( I thought either Maxs' parents, and or a girl) trying to as the song say break up his band. He then tells whoever it is his version of what will happen, this is just my take of course, more people should comment this because its a really good song.
I think the song lyrics are pretty clear in pointing out that this song is called "It's A Metaphor, Fool".
The Lyrics say "...but none of them could ever get me hot like this..." not "high like this"
I quite agree with fgevilmonkey.
I like the spelling error on breaking xD
I feel insulted! i'm not dead skin, emo, serial killer, stoner piece of fuck! SHITAA!!?
you guys kidding.. its about masturbating. sixteen names on my list but none of them could ever get me high like this -likes jerkin it better than sex(probably cuz its quick and there isn't anything to worry about afterwards..) you're safe inside my fist (now let the fun begin! sing!) all you are to me is dead skin flaking off my hand onto the pavement -inside his fist, jerkin it. jerk it too much, and you can actually rub skin off. then the song takes that first verse, and uses it as a metaphore for someone (most likely a hoe) trying to break up their band and using sex as a weapon against them. come on, its a metaphore.. fool.
