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.
Look, I know the supernatural
Is something that isn't supposed to happen
But it does happen
Yeah, Jesus lived his life in a cheap hotel
On the edge of Route 66, yeah
He lived a dark and twisted life
And he came right back just to do it again
Eye for and eye and a tooth for a truth
I ain't never seen a demon warp dealin'
A ring-a-ding rhythm or jukebox racket
My mind can't clutch the feeling, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Hell hounds lead at the cowardly kings
And carry souls across the river Styx, yeah
They see no evil and feel no pain
Sucking juice from a fallen angel
I dreamed I was a supernova fucker nitro
Burning and fuel injection
Feed the gods a strychnine soul
A motherfucker of invention
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Insipientia corde suo, non es deus
Non esta vita qui adorem, non es usque ad unum
Es excommunicatus, ex unione fidelium
It is not heresy, and I will not recant
Yeah, inbreed the witches and worship the dogs
Deformed and fucking lazy
Damn yourself and choke on my name
I'd love to love ya baby
Dead ringer rats swinging in the trees
Immaculate conception, bury me an angel
God I need some inspiration
Yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Is something that isn't supposed to happen
But it does happen
Yeah, Jesus lived his life in a cheap hotel
On the edge of Route 66, yeah
He lived a dark and twisted life
And he came right back just to do it again
Eye for and eye and a tooth for a truth
I ain't never seen a demon warp dealin'
A ring-a-ding rhythm or jukebox racket
My mind can't clutch the feeling, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Hell hounds lead at the cowardly kings
And carry souls across the river Styx, yeah
They see no evil and feel no pain
Sucking juice from a fallen angel
I dreamed I was a supernova fucker nitro
Burning and fuel injection
Feed the gods a strychnine soul
A motherfucker of invention
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Insipientia corde suo, non es deus
Non esta vita qui adorem, non es usque ad unum
Es excommunicatus, ex unione fidelium
It is not heresy, and I will not recant
Yeah, inbreed the witches and worship the dogs
Deformed and fucking lazy
Damn yourself and choke on my name
I'd love to love ya baby
Dead ringer rats swinging in the trees
Immaculate conception, bury me an angel
God I need some inspiration
Yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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
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/

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.
