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 these days pass
Underground
Breathe the air
Before you drown
One more time
Another line
Slowly divides
Before the night is over
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
Blinded by the burning lights
Turn 'em off, turn 'em off
Bodies break before they're white
Exposure sets before it's lost
Drawing lines
Making shapes
Stay alive
Sleep awake
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
And the end is here in noises
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
And the end is here in noises
Yo, layers all exist within the beat
The shapes are moving all over the street
And I can see that nothing's moving
Is this something that's not worth losing?
This will do
It'll do
Still we could
We could do with some more noises
We could do with some more noises
We could do with some more noises
And the end is here in noises
Underground
Breathe the air
Before you drown
One more time
Another line
Slowly divides
Before the night is over
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
Blinded by the burning lights
Turn 'em off, turn 'em off
Bodies break before they're white
Exposure sets before it's lost
Drawing lines
Making shapes
Stay alive
Sleep awake
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
And the end is here in noises
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
We could do with some more poison
And the end is here in noises
Yo, layers all exist within the beat
The shapes are moving all over the street
And I can see that nothing's moving
Is this something that's not worth losing?
This will do
It'll do
Still we could
We could do with some more noises
We could do with some more noises
We could do with some more noises
And the end is here in noises

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/
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Awesome tune, with a sick video. Guessing its just simply about a heavy night, with some heavy drugs.
