I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
i've been sitting here for an hour.
i guess you just forgot to say hello.
you pretend that you never saw me here.
so someone broke your heart,
i'm breaking mine.
'cause you just don't have enough _
to know it's done.
i don't think you understand how this feels.
i haven't called you in a week.
yeah, i know it's a been a long time.
no, nothing, nevermind.
i was just talking to myself.
'cause you really don't deserve
to know how i feel anyway.
you can just go home and play all of
your stupid rock and roll
and try on all your brand new leather pants
'cause damn, they look so good on you now.
i still don't get why you asked me to call.
i guess you had too much to drink
and you needed someone else to want you.
this isn't fun anymore.
it's all just a little too much karma
coming back to get me all at once.
so i won't look to see if you're still here
when i think _
although it doesn't matter that much to me.
you can do that sexy dance
to make sure everyone still wants you
when the night is over
and you still don't have someone to love
and you can just go home all by yourself
and play that music really loud
so no one hears you when you start to cry all by yourself.
i've done it all to myself this time.
and i've done it to myself again
i've done it all to myself this time.
there's no one else to blame.
you're just in my way.
and if i see you, it can make me have a bad day.
please just go away.
there's no one else to blame here
you're just in my way.
sometimes i feel like throwing up.
please just go home.
'cause i've done it to myself
there's no one else to blame here.
i've done it all to myself.
i guess you just forgot to say hello.
you pretend that you never saw me here.
so someone broke your heart,
i'm breaking mine.
'cause you just don't have enough _
to know it's done.
i don't think you understand how this feels.

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.
does anyone have any idea where to get some of her older songs like this one? the only release that's available in music stores is puking & crying and it's next to impossible to find information about her anywhere. even on her website, that's the only release available :(
i have all of her albums. i could email them to you or something if you want.
charcoalsketch, could you please send them to me? I'm a huge Jenn Ghetto fan and I've already bought "I'm not as good at it as you". My e-mail is "chew--chew@hotmail.com"
The first album called Sadstyle (that this song is on) was released by Brown Records in 2001, if that helps.
