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.
As dark as dark sky and earth, dizzily mind
As sore as sore the back of the gullet, dizziness
You can't catch me, can't catch me
Can blind birds fly? They can't
I go up the blind stairs intently
I go up the blind stairs intently
I go up the blind stairs intently
I go up the blind stairs intently
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, time is over
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, please die (ah woo)
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, time is over
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, please die (ah woo)
排水溝に流れてゆく俺の子供は無能な欠片
俺の手じゃ何も掴めない
Like a garbage, I go back to doing
Whatever I may wish, it's weed life
Whatever I may wish, it's weed life
Whatever (whatever) I may (I may) wish, it's weed life
Night and day at the end of the day
All day and so every day
夢さえも叫ぶさ I want to become happy
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, time is over
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, please die
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, time is over
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, please die (ah woo)
薔薇色真っ赤な口笑う 俺の子供は無能な欠片
自虐 虐待 死ね 忘れたい 大嫌い
花びらゲームの数え唄
Like a garbage, I go back to doing
Like a garbage, I go back to doing
Please die
As sore as sore the back of the gullet, dizziness
You can't catch me, can't catch me
Can blind birds fly? They can't
I go up the blind stairs intently
I go up the blind stairs intently
I go up the blind stairs intently
I go up the blind stairs intently
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, time is over
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, please die (ah woo)
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, time is over
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Ladies and gentlemen, please die (ah woo)

Like a garbage, I go back to doing
Please die

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/

This song is awesome. It sounds like a Japanese Slipknot!
