I was drunk again, causing accidents.
Oh, you're not a friend,
You're nothing.

I think I should be a little more confident.
In myself,
In my skin.

Take me, take me, home.
Take me, take me, home.

'Cause I don't stand a chance in these four walls.
And he don't recognize me anymore.
Burned out flames should never re-ignite.
But I thought you might

Take me, take me, home.
Take me, take me, home.

Now he's moving close,
My heart in my throat.
I won't say a word,
But I think he knows
That I've hardly slept,
Since the night he left.
His body always kept,
Mine inside of it.
Keep the nightmares out,
Give me mouth to mouth.
I can't live without ya,
Take me to your house.

Take me, take me, home.
Take me, take me, home. (Take, take, take, take)
Take me, take me, home. (Me, me, me, me)
Take me, take me, home. (Home, home, home)

But I thought you might

Take me, take me, home, home.
Take me, take me, home, home.
Home.

    My Interpretation

    Initially, you might think this song were about a one night stand or something. But then as the lyrics go on, you realise it is a story about a girl who is re-initiating a night of intimacy with someone she had a past with.

    You are not a friend - you are nothing, kind of depicts a resentment. Then it follows with a sense of self consciousness. I think I should be more confident in my skin and not focusing so much on my resentment towards you.

    "Burned out flames should never re-ignite. But I thought you might..." - I should never have gone back to that old place of comfort and intimacy with this person again, because you can not re-ignite an old emotional spark between two people. But still, "take me home" and remind me of that place we used to be at together once before.

    Then she depicts a sense of overwhelming emotion when he comes close to her, and her fear that he may realise the power he has over her and in having kept her from sleeping for nights at a time. This time she says "But I thought you might - take me home" - as in, but I thought you might take me back to that place I felt home, comforted, familiar, like before. And so, although this might make her feel powerless, unconfident, and maybe even bad about herself afterward, she really just wants to feel like home again even for just a moment.

    This song to be is a little bittersweet. It is super sensual and intimate, and yet deeply sad, because it is as if she is trying to fill an inner void of loneliness through this one night and imagine she is back in a place she used to feel at home and intimate with someone in her past.

    Now he's moving close, My heart in my throat. I won't say a word, But I think he knows... that I've hardly slept, since the niht he left. His body always kept, mine inside of it. Keep nightmares out, give me mouth to mouth. I can't live without ya, take me to your house.

    Take me, take me, home. Take me, take me, home. (Take, take, take, take.) Take me, take me, home. (Me, me, me, me.) Take me, take me, home. (Home, home, home.)

    My Opinion

    lyrics are pretty clear. def happened to me before. shes drunk,causing accidents.hes there but she cant call him a friend or anything.hes nothing a stranger.she needs to be more confident in herself,shes probably looking at him from afar,with big dopey eyes begging him to taker her home. she doesnt stand a chance by his presence. she turns into mush whenever hes around. but he doesnt care for her anymore.old flames should never re-ignite too much history. but she wants differently with him.she wants him quite badly. hes getting closer to her.shes nervous, shes a wreck. she wants him. she needs him.shes begging him to take her home without saying a word. ive def been in this position, where no words are spoken to each other but youre looking at the other person, wishing and hoping theyll take you home. to rekindle the fire again. they never do take you home though

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
