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 love it though
I love it though, y'know?
Uh put your hands to the constellations
They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I'm preaching to the congregation
We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan
I mean a nigga did a lot of waiting
We ain't married but tonight I need some consummation
May the Lord forgive us
May the God's be with us
And that magic hour
I seen good Christians
Make brash decisions
Oh she do it
What happened to Religion?
Oh she lose it
She putting on her make up
She casually allure
Text message break us, the casualty of tour
How she gone wake up and not love me no more?
I thought I was the asshole, I guess it's rubbing off
Hood phenomenon, the Lebron of rhyme
Hard to be humble when you stuntin' on a jumbotron
I'm looking at her like, "This what you really wanted, huh?"
What we argue anyway, oh I forgot its summertime
Put your hands to the constellations
They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I'm preaching to the congregation
We love Jesus but she done learned a lot from Satan
(Satan, Satan, Satan)
I mean a nigga did a lot of waiting
We ain't married but tonight I need some consummation
When the sun go down its the magic hour
The magic hour
And outta all the colors that are still up the skies
You got green on your mind
I can see it in your eyes
Why you standing there with your face screwed up?
Don't leave while your hot that's how Mase screwed up
Throwing shit around, the whole place screwed up
Maybe I should call Mase so that he could pray for us
I hit the Jamaican spot, at the bar, take a seat
I ordered the jerk, she said, "You are what you eat"
You see I always loved the sense of humor
But tonight you should have seen how quiet the room was
The Lyor Cohen or Dior Homme that's Dior Homme not Dior homie
The crib Scarface couldn't be more Tony
You love me for me could you be more phony
Put your hands to the constellations
They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
Haven't said a word, haven't said a word to me this evening
Cat got your tongue?
Lookin' at my bitch I bet she give your ass a bone
Lookin' at my wrist it'll turn your ass to stone
Stretch limousine, sippin' Rose all along
Double-headed monster with a mind of his own
Cherry red chariot, excess is just my character
All black tux, nigga shoes lavender
I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
Had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired
Before his jaw shattered climbin' up the Lord's ladder
We still speedin' runnin' signs like they don't matter
Uh, hater talkin' never made me mad
Never that not when I'm in my favorite papertag
Therefore G4's at the Clearport
When it come to tools fool I'm a Pep Boy
When it came to dope I was quick to export
Never tired of ballin' so it's on to the next sport
New Mercedes Sedan, the Lex' sport
So many cars D.M.V. thought it was mail fraud
Different traps, I was gettin' mail from
Polk County, Jacksonville, rep Melbourne
Whole clique's appetite had tapeworms
Spinnin' Teddy Pendergrass vinyl as my j burns
I shed a tear before the nights over
God bless the man I put this ice over, uh
Gettin' 2Pac money twice over
Still a real nigga, red Coogi sweater, dice roller
I'm makin' love to the angel of death
Catchin' feelings never stumble retracin' my steps
I love it though, y'know?
Uh put your hands to the constellations
They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I'm preaching to the congregation
We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan
I mean a nigga did a lot of waiting
We ain't married but tonight I need some consummation
May the Lord forgive us
May the God's be with us
And that magic hour
I seen good Christians

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
honestly, this song to me feel that kanye has sold his soul to the devil
i mean the reason he has all this money and fame is Satan and selling his soul to record executives....<br /> <br /> "I love it though <br /> I love it though, haha you know"<br /> -he loves the money and fame even tho he got it for the wrong reasons<br /> <br /> "We love Jesus, but you done learned a lot from Satan<br /> I mean a nigga did a lot of waitin' <br /> We ain't married, but tonight I need some consummation"<br /> -he has done a lot of waiting for this fame and fortune, everyone loves jesus but with satan you can get anything you want(fame/pride, women/lust, money/greed)<br /> <br /> <br /> need i go on?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
Definitely. Have you read some of his most recent twitter entries? He constantly refers to worshipping Satan. I think this whole film is a metaphor for fame and his fame and the world's reception of his fame.
and by this film, I mean the short film "Runaway" that accompanies his new album.
lmao yeah and he's part of the illuminati too
yea especially with the faint me too in the back ground of certain lines
Kanye worships the devil on twitter? Wtf? "Is illuminati and devil worshipping like the same thing... do they have a social network that celebs can sign up for?" Yeah that totally sounds like devil worshiping. <br /> <br /> Furthermore, I find it laughable that you can take a line (ONE line) completely out of context, completely ignoring every more-obvious meaning, and apply it to devil worshiping. I suppose Jesus Walks was actually a metaphorical love-note to Lucifer.
It's obvious he's speaking out against these things, saying that people (or in this case) a woman caught up in her own selfishness and shallowness is turning on her religion and falling slowly into the darkness of Satan. People are just gullible and will believe anything! Sad really. And those Twitter posts are just teasing to all of the brainwashed ignoramuses that believe it...Kanye West is a douchebag and he's teasing you all because he knows how gullible you all can be. This Illuminati crap is old and well organized into a fully detailed "proof", a proof that really has no proof. Coincidences and gullibility can make fools of us all. I choose not to fall for it. <br /> <br /> Great song, by the way.
I hope MMforever is fucking joking.
@MMforever! God dammit the guy considering Kanye is part of the Illuminati is such a fucking idiot. Gad have mercy. Kanye has even said he has sold his soul to the devil. However all of that is metaphorical. Kanye says he wishes to mage songs about Jesus, but like in his song "Jesus Walks", he mentions how if he does, his record won't get played, and he wont get payed. Therefore choosing to rap about money, fame, women, and other things that are rather materialistic. In this sense he has, "sold his soul". I think you'd be quite literally a dumb ass coon, to believe Kanye literally bows down to Satan and worships him physically. Also another stupid thing you said, was about him being part of the Illuminati......lmao......OMG, It hurts my brain, how stupid of an assumption that is. People who are part of the Illuminati, this literally made up name from who's knows where, don't go out in public and become superstars. These men/women control the superstars as puppets, to make the mainstream public, follow they ideals subliminally.....
