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.
Today I sold my brother
Into hell, for evermore
Choice there was no other
I’m sad to say, it’s not the last time
I look into your body
Fill you up with enemies
It’s wave, oh, for the next life
I don’t know if I alone want you
She says what about my story time
Afraid, a little side of it is under spy
Some will eventually go out and die.
I think he really wants to die.
I don’t really want to die
I think he really swallowed
Raise it up to the lord,
If I die tomorrow, try to pull on me
Come to me with nothing
Watch you bleed, forever more
Soon he runs into his time, holding on
Choices on my own tongue
I’m strong enough, such I can deem, of
There is so long here.
It’s not enough for the last time
I look into your body,
Fill you up with enemies,
It’s wave oh for the next life
I don’t know if I alone want you.
Yeah
Searching for some better things to occupy my time
I went for the study of the evil souls and I wish that they replied
Well I sat down on your stone and I and saw fit to pour the wine
And did you think that it was worth it
It’s burnin’ on its’ head
And I won’t believe this even happens here
I won’t rest until you bloody
Sanest, darn this, I can’t get you out of sight
your fucking fault
Sick for ya, sign of amaze
Sick for ya, you’ll be numbing for days
For the way, these mother fuckers never fail.
Sick for ya
So, sick for ya
Into hell, for evermore
Choice there was no other
I’m sad to say, it’s not the last time
I look into your body
Fill you up with enemies
It’s wave, oh, for the next life
I don’t know if I alone want you
She says what about my story time
Afraid, a little side of it is under spy
Some will eventually go out and die.
I think he really wants to die.
I don’t really want to die
I think he really swallowed
Raise it up to the lord,
If I die tomorrow, try to pull on me
Come to me with nothing
Watch you bleed, forever more
Soon he runs into his time, holding on
Choices on my own tongue
I’m strong enough, such I can deem, of
There is so long here.
It’s not enough for the last time
I look into your body,
Fill you up with enemies,
It’s wave oh for the next life
I don’t know if I alone want you.
Yeah
Searching for some better things to occupy my time
I went for the study of the evil souls and I wish that they replied
Well I sat down on your stone and I and saw fit to pour the wine
And did you think that it was worth it
It’s burnin’ on its’ head
And I won’t believe this even happens here
I won’t rest until you bloody
Sanest, darn this, I can’t get you out of sight
your fucking fault
Sick for ya, sign of amaze
Sick for ya, you’ll be numbing for days
For the way, these mother fuckers never fail.
Sick for ya
So, sick for ya

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I agree, most of Pinly Smooth's lyrics appear to be quite incorherent and random, but i get the feeling this song has something to do with drugs, more specifically, an overdose. Fill you up with enemies: He's given his friend the drugs, the enemies who will harm the body.
I think he really wants to die. I don’t really want to die I think he really swallowed : The friend is hooked on the drugs and is likely to soon overdose, and has no concern about whats happening to his health, and then I think he really swallowed could refer to he's swallowed a mass amount of the drug, most likely acid or pills, and he's unsure whether or not he''ll survive it.
I think that the rest of of song is to do with how your mind and body feel whilst under the influence of drugs. The noises Jimmy makes while singing could be something he or anyone does whilst high or tripping, and the suicidal and dark thoughts running through his mind whilst under the influence.
