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.
Я так привыкла жить одним тобой,
Одним тобой,
Встречать рассвет и слышать как проснёшься не со мной,
Мне стало так легко дышать в открытое окно,
И повторять, ей лишь одно
Припев:
Знаешь ли ты вдоль ночных дорог
Шла босеком, не жалея ног
Сердце его теперь в твоих руках
Не потеряй его и не сломай,
Чтоб мне нести вдоль ночных дорог
Пепел любви в руках сбив ноги в кровь
Пульс его теперь в твоих глазах
Не потеряй его и не сломай.
И в январе пусть бьётся серый дождь к нему в окно
Пусть обнимает не меня, но помнит всё равно
И пусть случайно моё имя вслух произнесёт
И пусть молчит,
Что всё же помнит...
А за окном сверкают фонари проклятых дождь,
Мой нежный мальчик ты прости меня за эту дрожь,
И пусть сквозь слёзы прошептала тихое прощай,
Незабывай,
Незабывай.
Припев: (2 раза)
Translation : Do You Know ?
I got used to living only by you... only by you...
To meet the sunrise and to hear how you wake up but not with me...
It became so easy for me to breath in the open window
And to repeat to her only one thing:
Do You Know? Along the night roads
I was walking barefoot not caring about my feet
His heart is in your hands now
Dont lose it and dont break it
not to carry along night roads
Ash of love in your hands, wearing down your feet
His pulse is now in your eyes
Dont lose it and dont break it
And let grey rain beats into his window in January,
Let him hug not me but let him still remember me
And let him say my name aloud by mistake
And let him be silent that he still remembers me
But outside, damn rain is burning the lanterns
my tender boy Im so sorry for this shiver
And through tears I have whispered silent "farewell..."
Don`t forget, don`t forget...
Do You Know? Along the night roads
I was walking barefoot not caring about my feet
His heart is in your hands now
Dont lose it and dont break it
not to carry along night roads
Ash of love in your hands, wearing down your feet
His pulse is now in your eyes
Dont lose it and dont break it
Do You Know? Along the night roads
I was walking barefoot not caring about my feet
His heart is in your hands now
Dont lose it and dont break it
not to carry along night roads
Ash of love in your hands, wearing down your feet
His pulse is now in your eyes
Dont lose it..
Одним тобой,
Встречать рассвет и слышать как проснёшься не со мной,
Мне стало так легко дышать в открытое окно,
И повторять, ей лишь одно
Припев:
Знаешь ли ты вдоль ночных дорог
Шла босеком, не жалея ног
Сердце его теперь в твоих руках
Не потеряй его и не сломай,
Чтоб мне нести вдоль ночных дорог

Пульс его теперь в твоих глазах
Не потеряй его и не сломай.

И пусть случайно моё имя вслух произнесёт

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
