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.
"And I was like, why you so obsessed with me?"
(So, oh, oh oh oh, so, oh, oh oh oh)
Will the real MC please step to the mic?
(So)
MC, MC, we need a MC (so, oh, oh oh oh)
Place to be (so, oh, oh oh oh)
MC the MC (so, oh, oh oh oh)
All up in the blogs, sayin' we met at the bar
When I don't even know who you are
Sayin' we up in your house, sayin' I'm up at your car
But you in LA, and I'm out at Jermaine's
I'm up in the A, you're so so lame
And no one here even mentions your name
It must be the weed, it must be the E
'Cause you be poppin' hood, you get it poppin'
Ah ooh oh oh
Why you so obsessed with me?
Boy, I wanna know, lyin' that you're sexin' me
When everybody knows, it's clear that you're upset with me
Oh oh oh, finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth, still couldn't get this
You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy, you're losing your mind
It's confusing, yo, you're confused, you know
Why you wasting your time?
Got you all fired up, with your Napoleon complex
Seein' right through you like you're bathin' in Windex
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Boy, why you so obsessed with me?
So, oh, oh oh oh, so, oh, oh oh oh
And all my ladies sing
So, oh, oh oh oh, so, oh, oh oh oh
And all my girls sing
(Obsessed, obsessed, obsessed, obsessed)
You on your job, you hatin' hard
Ain't goin' feed you, I'ma let you starve
Graspin' for air, and I'm ventilation
You out of breath, hope you ain't waitin'
Tellin' the world how much you miss me
But we never were, so why you trippin'?
You a mom and pop, I'm a corporation
I'm the press conference, you're a conversation
Ah ooh oh oh
Why you so obsessed with me?
And, boy, I wanna know, lyin' that you're sexin' me
When everybody knows, it's clear that you're upset with me
Oh oh oh, finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth, still couldn't get this
You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy, you're losing your mind (mind)
It's confusing, yo, you're confused, you know
Why you wasting your time? (time)
Got you all fired up, with your Napoleon complex
Seein' right through you like you're bathin' in Windex
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Boy, why you so obsessed with me?
So, oh, oh oh oh, so, oh, oh oh oh
And all my ladies sing
So, oh, oh oh oh, so, oh, oh oh oh
And all my girls sing
(Obsessed, obsessed, obsessed, obsessed)
Ah oh
Why you so obsessed with me? (he's all up in George Foreman)
Boy, I wanna know, lyin' that you're sexin' me (lying that you're sexin' me)
When everybody knows, it's clear that you're upset with me (ay)
Oh oh oh, finally found a girl that you couldn't impress (oh)
Last man on the earth, still couldn't get this
You're delusional, you're delusional (he's all up in my George Foreman)

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This is definitely a diss song to Eminem for his song Bagpipes from Baghdad. I like the song a lot, but i'll take Ems side any day!
no it totally is i mean the vid. says it all. at first i didnt pay much attention to it because i'm not a fan of mariah but when i did. i was like. woah. so i wikipedia it. and sure enough it makes sense haha. hmmmm
Why would you take Eminem's side? He's the one who started the rumor!!
Taylorkash - yah it is, lol, apparently the creeper in the hoodie for most of its supose to be Eminem.<br /> <br /> wayla1234 - Eminem didnt really start this. . . a good portion of his songs make fun of or diss SOMEONE, just so happened it was Mariah this time, and i guess she cant take a joke :)
