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.
There are few things less appealing than you
A pre-teen girl that dresses like a prostitute
You want to act like Britney well that's a mistake
You want to look like divas but divas are skanks
Dating cooler older guys in high school grades
If they were really that cool they'd get girls their own age
But they can't, so they're on a cradle crusade
Cause statutory rape's the coolest way to get laid
They dont want their bodies to be covered
Cause girls are getting sluttier younger
They're too young to be talking about sex
And losing their virginity at recess (that's just gross)
Buying push up bras you have to stuff to fill in
And giving hand jobs on the bus during school field trips
During dances moving like a tramp is your goal
And to wear revealing clothes when you have nothing to show
Christina or Paris who do you idolize more?
While looking for a thong in a children's size four
Getting good grades is not what you're dreaming of
You'd rather go on MTV and show them your nubs.
They can't handle the pressure they're under
So girls are getting sluttier younger
I wish those junior highers would just stop
Wearing shorts that barely cover their crotch (No I don't)
I can't believe what he said... I don't have to stuff my bra... I'm practically an A-cup.
I know. I'm so jealous... I'm practically ovulating already, though.
Shut up, you are not.
Youre 12, mature enough to start smoking weed
Wasn't it just last week you were watching Disney?
Now it's The 101 Hottest Whores On E!
So you can take notes on how to act like Tara Reid
Step 1: get drunk and act real dumb
Step 2: common sense makes life less fun
Step 3: The best way to get accepted
Is to put out and become anorexic.
I don't understand so I wonder
Why girls are getting sluttier younger
They take their childhood and discard it
Are they naive or just retarted, I dont know
They're getting sluttier younger,
sluttier younger, sluttier younger, sluttier younger...
They're getting sluttier... so slutty...
A pre-teen girl that dresses like a prostitute
You want to act like Britney well that's a mistake
You want to look like divas but divas are skanks

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
lmfao omg! i love this song sooo much! it actually describes half of the girls in public school when i was there ...it was sad and discusting but this song makes it HILARIOUS
