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 know you've got choices to make
I hope you make them well
It only takes a click of the wrist
I hope you live to tell
We cannot build upon over what you are without
And you, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war
I know we've got changes to make
I hope we'll see this through
It only takes a slip of the fist
It ends with me and you
We cannot build upon over what you are without the sin
To cross the five stone
And you, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war
It all ends with you
You, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war
And you, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war
I hope you make them well
It only takes a click of the wrist
I hope you live to tell
We cannot build upon over what you are without
And you, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war
I know we've got changes to make
I hope we'll see this through
It only takes a slip of the fist
It ends with me and you
We cannot build upon over what you are without the sin
To cross the five stone
And you, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war
It all ends with you
You, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war
And you, you amaze us all
With the hope that you bring
It could save us all
From the war

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

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Err, they're the lyrics for Our Last Common Ancestor, as it says in the middle there... These are the H.I.P (Enough) lyrics as far as I can tell...
If you could write, with all, your heart. It would be a better life, with better times, to keep. If you could carry both of us. Would you find a better way, to lead us out, of this.
Have you had enough yet? Of the hope that burns us out. Have you had enough yet? Of the judgement, that we compromised.
How can you sit, and look, so calm? When everything printed here, is always full, of shit. Have we all become desensitised? Cos' nothing we see in here, makes any sense, at all.
Have you had enough yet? Of the hope that burns us out. Have you had enough yet? Of the judgement, that we compromised.
Explosions in, your head will fuel these words, of sin. Blood! Just drink your tea, and send the papers you will see. Blood! Blood!
Have you had enough yet? Of the hope that burns us out. Have you had enough yet? Of the judgement, that we compromised.
