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.
Hey you surround me
like a blanket in my bed.
The look in your eyes has
stayed inside me in my head.
Outside its snowing its odd for
this time of year.
Your light through the darkness,
getting smaller oh i fear.
Yeah...
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
Hey you’re my weakness
still my lover in my mind.
And you still control me
Summer i put you so high.
Hey did you forget you
could never get enough.
Well I'll always love you
no matter how far you run.
Yeah...
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
There is a lover down inside all of our gates that we cant
protect forever cause he’s sucking out the air from our lips.
I felt him tremble when I first picked you up driving honey.
We drove for hours I remember when I first let him kiss.
You and your mouth the taste of love if filled me up to the tips.
I couldn't sleep for weeks fevered at a hundred and six.
You surround me
like a blanket in my bed.
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
like a blanket in my bed.
The look in your eyes has
stayed inside me in my head.
Outside its snowing its odd for
this time of year.
Your light through the darkness,
getting smaller oh i fear.
Yeah...
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
Hey you’re my weakness
still my lover in my mind.
And you still control me
Summer i put you so high.
Hey did you forget you
could never get enough.
Well I'll always love you
no matter how far you run.
Yeah...
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
There is a lover down inside all of our gates that we cant
protect forever cause he’s sucking out the air from our lips.
I felt him tremble when I first picked you up driving honey.
We drove for hours I remember when I first let him kiss.
You and your mouth the taste of love if filled me up to the tips.
I couldn't sleep for weeks fevered at a hundred and six.
You surround me
like a blanket in my bed.
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.
Love love pulled us down in the gutter.
Can you see us getting out oh i wonder.
Its a long long lonely fight down inside me.
Can I get you bring back light or is this never again.

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/

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.
This songs reminds me of Twilight.
