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.
When I step up to the mic I show no - MERCY!
When I sleep with your wife I show no - MERCY!
When I'm better than your life I show no - MERCY!
When I fall off the bike I show no - MERCY!
All (ah ah)
I need (ah ah)
Is a dope run
To rock this here beat so I defeat
All (ah ah)
I need (ah ah)
Is a def beat
To bust this dope rhyme every goddamn time
Defecating, masturbating
Microphone commander and
Never Fucking hesitating
Deaf with a record
Here's the invitation
Accept no substitutes and no imitations
We're no fuck ups
We're no faggots
They all got a problem
And i know that they don't give a fuck about me
Wee-oh wee-oh wee-oh wee-oh wee-oh wee-oh
wee-oh wee-oh wee-oh
When I step up to the mic I show no - MERCY!
When I sleep with your wife I show no - MERCY!
When I'm better than your life I show no - MERCY!
When I fall off the bike I show no - MERCY!
Just like little baby Jesus
you can never, ever, ever, win a battle with me
in little pretty pieces
that is what you get before when you step to me - HUH!
All (ah ah)
I need (ah ah)
Is a dope run
To rock this here beat so I defeat
All (ah ah)
I need (ah ah)
Is a def beat
To bust this dope rhyme every goddamn time
Defecating, masturbating
Microphone commander and
Never Fucking hesitating
Deaf with a record
Here's the invitation
Accept no substitutes and no imitations
We're no fuck ups
We're no faggots

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Yah i reversed the song and it did say what Antipo said it did =D
