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.
I hear the noise back in town
Let's gather everyone
And go see what they're
Up to now
Driving in, driving out
From hotel to the bar
All our friends are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Hear the voice crying out
Screaming every song
Not that anyone understands
Diving in, diving out
The terrified crowd
All our bands are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Want to see where the fight is
Look around....
I hear the sound of a voice inside my head
Saying things that I can't understand
Telling me a life may soon be dead
I wonder from what hand
The words they say are too hard to conceive
I try my best to never listen
Can't you see I'm struggling to conceal
These thoughts from everyone?
It's not that I don't care
And I don't want to hurt you
It's just the worst I fear is coming out
Coming out of me
You know I've heard you say that I'm not real
I know you think that I can't understand
Truth is I am trying hard to deal
This is not what I had planned
It's not that I don't care
It's not that I don't love you
It's just that I am here
To put you out of your misery
I'll put you out of your misery
All of you lovers who think you're in love
I'll put you out of your misery
All of your children born under the sky
I'll put you of your misery
Venom that you can't conceive
Is pouring out of the depths of me
You think you're free, you've been deceived
I'll put you out of your misery
You think the future is warm and bright
But it is death and I'm your destiny
You think you'll be protected by god
I'll put you out of your misery
I was put down to bring you down
And put you out
Let's gather everyone
And go see what they're
Up to now
Driving in, driving out
From hotel to the bar
All our friends are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Hear the voice crying out
Screaming every song
Not that anyone understands
Diving in, diving out
The terrified crowd
All our bands are here
Somehow they seem so divided
Want to see where the fight is
Look around....
I hear the sound of a voice inside my head
Saying things that I can't understand
Telling me a life may soon be dead
I wonder from what hand
The words they say are too hard to conceive
I try my best to never listen
Can't you see I'm struggling to conceal
These thoughts from everyone?
It's not that I don't care
And I don't want to hurt you
It's just the worst I fear is coming out
Coming out of me
You know I've heard you say that I'm not real
I know you think that I can't understand
Truth is I am trying hard to deal
This is not what I had planned
It's not that I don't care
It's not that I don't love you
It's just that I am here
To put you out of your misery
I'll put you out of your misery
All of you lovers who think you're in love
I'll put you out of your misery
All of your children born under the sky
I'll put you of your misery
Venom that you can't conceive
Is pouring out of the depths of me
You think you're free, you've been deceived
I'll put you out of your misery
You think the future is warm and bright
But it is death and I'm your destiny
You think you'll be protected by god
I'll put you out of your misery
I was put down to bring you down
And put you out

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think that this is one of the best songs on Trail Of Dead's new album, it's a very powerful song that is very well composed.
