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.
Fer sure maybe, fer sure not, fer sure eh, fer sure bomb
Pulled up at a stop light, did drugs on the dashboard
Look at the mess we made tonight
Kick off your stilettos, kick off your stilettos
And fuck me in the backseat, fuck me in the backseat
You're always falling in disguise
And always quick to compromise
Kick off your stilettos, kick off your stilettos
And fuck me in the backseat, fuck me in the backseat
Fer sure maybe, fer sure not, fer sure eh, fer sure bomb
This is the end of what we've planned
Of what we've planned and now
We're not falling in love, we're just falling apart
So girl let's dance the night away
This is how the beat goes, this is how the beat goes
Just let your body go
This is how the beat drops, this is how the beat drops
I wanna see your panties drop girl now
All this time is wasted pretending we're in love, but that's alright
'Cause you know I love being with you and seeing you cry
So don't let go, don't let go, no, don't let go
Fer sure maybe, fer sure not, fer sure eh, fer sure bomb
Pulled up at a stop light, did drugs on the dashboard
Look at the mess we made tonight
Kick off your stilettos, kick off your stilettos
And fuck me in the backseat, fuck me in the backseat
You're always falling in disguise
And always quick to compromise
Kick off your stilettos, kick off your stilettos
And fuck me in the backseat, fuck me in the backseat
Fer sure maybe, fer sure not, fer sure eh, fer sure bomb

Is that a new tattoo? Did that piercing fucking hurt?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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
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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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 is obviously a song about politics, if you just look slightly under the surface.
Fer sure Maybe Fer sure Not
Instantly the song starts with a finicky politician changing his views on different issues in order to get more votes.
You're always falling in disguise And always quick to compromise
Disguising himself in false promises, this politician compromises on important issues, trying for re-election rather than helping people.
All this time is wasted pretending we're in love But that's alright cuz you know I love being with you
He is mocking the strategies that various politicians use to get people to love them. Politicians nowadays want your love rather than your political trust. People voted for Obama mostly cuz they liked him, not his political stances. This is a common corrupt strategy to get elected and re-elected
