Bleak

Soulfly

Maggots crawling
Posers falling
Suffocating in garbage
So much trash
In excess
Feed your ego up your ass

On your knees
Blood sucking pigs
Die of your own disease
Worms and ashes
Feed the masses
Up your ass, blood cloth dead!

Maggots crawling
Two-face falling
Suffocate on your vomit
Just like sheep's
To the slaughter
Follow suit, follow orders

On your knees
Blood sucking pigs
Drowning on your own shit
Parasites
Full of lies
You got nothing left inside

Bleak
Bleak, like crass
Bleak
Bleak, like crass

Maggots crawling
Posers falling
Suffocating in garbage
Final warning
No return
It's the end, you fucking scum

On your knees
Blood sucking pigs
Die of your own disease
Parasites
Full of lies
You've got nothing left inside

Bleak
Bleak, like crass
Bleak
Bleak, like crass
Bleak, fucking sick
Bleak, fucking sick

    My Interpretation

    Is the song title referencing the outlook for society if we continue to blindly accept what is put before us?

    Do we follow and bend to all "their" wills, or does it reach a point when we rise from our knees and say no more. Perhaps until this time the outlook is "bleak!"

    I love the beat of this song ... the lyrics I feel are pretty weak, but the chorus and music behind the song make up for it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
