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.
Brainwash makes us sing a sorrowful song.
People in waves, they sing along.
For the country to prosper.
For the country to prosper.
It?s the country?s song
It?s a bomb that?s just covered up.
Freedom::Love::Riot::Power
Whores and prostitutes
City of illicit sales
Politics::Poverty::Dictatorship::Nuclear.
Is there such a thing as freedom inside us?
Other than Victory the result is destruction
Being Supervised + the result equals despair.
For the country to prosper.
For the country to prosper.
It?s the country?s song.
It?s TI that?s just covered up.
SPARK SUBLIMINAL VISION L&P
Love and peace is vanished
It?s a city of destruction.
And it?s called Freedom.
Beautiful fireworks light the night as children smile with joy.
Cheering voices all around.
Execute Firearm Penetrated inside.
ONE TWO in the cranium
ONE TWO THREE Sounds of firearm swirl like the whirlwind as it strike the ears.
The prison guard jumps and screams in laughter.
People?s emotions swirl in a whirlwind.
Rebellion Felony
Shoot away ONE TWO
Children ONE TWO THREE
Cleanse away.
People scream
Awakening Awakening Awakening Awakening
SPARK AND SPARK

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/

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this by far is my favorite DeG song!
