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.
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You hear me on the radio
Comin through so clear, your stereo
Now you know there is no where to go
From my love
You try to forget about me
But I told you to never doubt me
How's ya life right now without me?
[Kid Cudi]
Baby,
I know it's crazy
When we argue
The name calling
Baby,
...I know you miss me
Cause i'm thinking of you
When you're thinking of me
Strangely
See I won't panic
Cause I feel you
Will swing back my way
You hate me
Yea I get it
But I can't begin
To even start hating you
Oh my love
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You tune me out
And now your turnin me up
I tried so hard but you just gave up
You tuned me out
But now your turnin me up
I'm not mad you did me wrong
You'd come around
Yeah I knew it all along
You turned me on
You see me in the paper
Thought that'd i'd always be a waiter
Got heart for all the haters
Cuz you can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You see us on the tv screen
You scream is this really happenin
Is this real as all our dreams
And so's my love.
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
But you cant hide from my love
You can run, you can run
But you cant hide from my love
You hear me on the radio
Comin through so clear, your stereo
Now you know there is no where to go
From my love
You try to forget about me
But I told you to never doubt me
How's ya life right now without me?

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
