Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Reaping the wind through this mortal shell
In the wake of destruction this will not fail
Walking with shadows defined by my suffering
Feeding the spirit through divine intervention
Out of the fire, so much for compassion
I've thrown it to desire, in time you'll hear
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of Gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgment, listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels and above beasts
It's seldom clear, the roads to temptation
Are filled with such peril but the human spirit can soar
It's more than we can ever be in one lifetime
We need more to become gods ourselves
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of Gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgment, listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels and above beasts
Temptation
Even the heavens aren't innocent [Incomprehensible]
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of Gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgment, listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels and above beasts
Above beasts, above beasts, above beasts
And above beasts and above beasts
In the wake of destruction this will not fail
Walking with shadows defined by my suffering
Feeding the spirit through divine intervention
Out of the fire, so much for compassion
I've thrown it to desire, in time you'll hear
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of Gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgment, listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels and above beasts
It's seldom clear, the roads to temptation
Are filled with such peril but the human spirit can soar
It's more than we can ever be in one lifetime
We need more to become gods ourselves
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of Gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgment, listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels and above beasts
Temptation
Even the heavens aren't innocent [Incomprehensible]
Tirades of truth
Glazed and angry eyes
Spoken to by the breath of Gods
In the valley of death's decision
The judgment, listen
The last kind words ever said will be
You will live below angels and above beasts
Above beasts, above beasts, above beasts
And above beasts and above beasts

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
the truth will come out. you will get yours. its karma.
and also, the last thing that was done for us was giving us life, we need to do the rest.
nice split meanign song here.
This song fits in perfectly with the rest of Last Kind Words (and even gets the name from this song) and explains why our human nature is the way it is, which is why we are so destructive to everything and everyone around us including ourselves. Before I begin 2 things need to be said that “tirades” basically means to rant or protest about something in an angry manner, and that I’m not some religious nut, and can barley even call myself Christian.
The whole first stanza is what I believe to be our creator’s thoughts on how we are “reaping the wind though this mortal shell, in the wake of destruction this will not fail” meaning that we kind of go about our own things aware of our impending doom, and that faced with it we will accept it. “Walking with shadows” means that he will be among us without us knowing it, “feeding the spirits though divine intervention” He lets us know that there is something to believe in, or “feeds” the spirits (the spirits being us) by every now and again comming into play with natural things and the only explainable answer is that it was the hand of God.
Then the chorus comes in, which a small way contradicts itself. The tirade in this case is God condemning man kind to the middle ground, or earth (below heaven, and above hell), but it is also referred to as “the last kind words ever said” which tells us two things, he meant for our banishment to be a good thing because we ended up in the middle and not in hell, and that it is the last time he will come in direct contact with mankind.
The next part I personally think whoever got the lyrics got them wrong and it says “the roads THROUGH temptation” and “but the human SPIRIT can soar”. Now this part is the narrator saying that our lives our filled with temptation and because of which it’s filled with danger and a threat to wellbeing at every step. But it’s because of our soul, the thing that makes us human (which is also why there is temptation) allows us to overcome the temptation and the afore mentioned dangers.
anyone know which part Dez's kid Tyler does? is it the gutturals in the beginning or what?
