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.
What a rush...
When we're on stage
You can't do nothing but
Relate to something
We feed the feeling
Of the natural highs
And the God forbode the blood...
Would you separate the truths
Through lies
In the constellation grey
Inner eye
Bloodrush
Running through your veins
Bloodlust
Do you know our names?
Forgotten soldiers
We're soldiers of fortune
Do not deceive us
We'll never retreat...
The blood that flows through you
Is thinner that the wine
We used to dine
With sinners like ourselves
And the God forbode the blood...
Would you separate the truths
Through lies
In the constellation grey
Inner eye
Forever you will bleed
Everblack
And life would surely be
Never bright...
Bloodrush
Running through your veins
Bloodlust
Do you know our names?
Forgotten soldiers
We're soldiers of fortune
Do not deceive us
We'll never retreat...
Explore... the bloodrush
The bloodred highs
The bleeding eye
Explore... the bloodrush
The bloodred highs
The bleeding eye
And the God forbode the blood...
Would you separate the truths
Through lies
In the constellation grey
Inner eye
Bloodrush
Running through your veins
Bloodlust
Do you know our names?
Forgotten soldiers
We're soldiers of fortune
Do not deceive us
We'll never retreat...
As we sat around the table
Drinking the blood from our glasses
What a rush...
Than Jesus said to me
I can cure you my friend...
If everything else fails
I'll show you the way
Out of the darkness
And into the light
Show me the way
Bleeding the trail
Don't be afraid
Lead me again
When we're on stage
You can't do nothing but
Relate to something
We feed the feeling
Of the natural highs
And the God forbode the blood...
Would you separate the truths
Through lies
In the constellation grey
Inner eye
Bloodrush
Running through your veins
Bloodlust
Do you know our names?
Forgotten soldiers
We're soldiers of fortune
Do not deceive us
We'll never retreat...
The blood that flows through you
Is thinner that the wine
We used to dine
With sinners like ourselves
And the God forbode the blood...
Would you separate the truths
Through lies
In the constellation grey
Inner eye
Forever you will bleed
Everblack
And life would surely be
Never bright...
Bloodrush
Running through your veins
Bloodlust
Do you know our names?
Forgotten soldiers
We're soldiers of fortune
Do not deceive us
We'll never retreat...
Explore... the bloodrush
The bloodred highs
The bleeding eye
Explore... the bloodrush
The bloodred highs
The bleeding eye
And the God forbode the blood...
Would you separate the truths
Through lies
In the constellation grey
Inner eye
Bloodrush
Running through your veins
Bloodlust
Do you know our names?
Forgotten soldiers
We're soldiers of fortune
Do not deceive us
We'll never retreat...
As we sat around the table
Drinking the blood from our glasses
What a rush...
Than Jesus said to me
I can cure you my friend...
If everything else fails
I'll show you the way
Out of the darkness
And into the light
Show me the way
Bleeding the trail
Don't be afraid
Lead me again

I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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

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.
