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.
[Chorus]
Baby don't, baby don't act so sweet
Just gimme that Cantaloupe.
That - that Cantaloupe
Tha- tha - tha- tha - that Cantaloupe.
Baby don't, baby don't act so sweet
Just gimme that Cantaloupe.
That - that, that Cantaloupe
Gimme that - gimme that Cantaloupe.
[Campa]
I be that shitty mother fucker, you hate him but you love him
You took a million shots while I beat it on the buzzer
Fly, sitting sideways, bitch I'm on another
Gettin' high on a Friday, call me Mr. Tucker
Tucker ice cubes, chilling in my ice room
Bitch I'm like a typhoon, kinda like a monsoon
I'm about to get you, wet you, take you to the vet like an animal
Baby don't act so sweet, just gimme that Cantaloupe.
[Cyrano]
Yo it's that shitty mother fucker, back up in the buildin'
Make that money bubble like the back of a Brazilian
Ow, Campa Cold my Bra, we the army.
Gettin' Cantaloupe from your Auntie, heard she got that Donkey
Extra Jalapeno, sippin' on vino
My dick is on "timber"! Tell her watch out below.
Don't watch me, watch T.V.
Livin' my dreams out while y'all sleep
While y'all freeze, I'm in beach clothes
Chillin' in a beach cove
Mean flow, but I ain't PMSin'
PML, though, pretty much a legend.
All these bitches stressin', but the money come first
And the pussy come second, man, it's time to go to work.
[Chorus x 4]
[Cyrano and Campa]
Here we go, Cyrano back with the lyrical miracle, Campa grab it.
These bitches on my Johnson.
Why?
'Cause I got that magic.
It's tragic, I told these kids not to play in traffic.
Don't get caught up in the fire when we come through Cataracin'.
Y'all be drivin', we be cabbin'
We're cabbin' up in Cali
Where these pretty YOUNG girls
Like to show their hidden valley.
I heard her name was Sally, but she go by Eden,
And she got that Cantaloupe that's ripe in every season.
(And she - and she got that Cantaloupe that's ripe in every season)
[Chorus x 4]
[Campa]
I be that shitty mother fucker, you hate him but you love him
You took a million shots while I beat it on the buzzer
Fly, sitting sideways, bitch I'm on another
Gettin' high on a Friday, call me Mr. Tucker
Tucker ice cubes, chilling in my ice room
Bitch I'm like a typhoon, kinda like a monsoon
I'm about to get you, wet you, take you to the vet like an animal
Baby don't act so sweet, just gimme that Cantaloupe.
[Chorus x4]
[x2]
I heard her name was Sally, but she go by Eden,
And she got that Cantaloupe that's ripe in every season.
Baby don't, baby don't act so sweet
Just gimme that Cantaloupe.
That - that Cantaloupe
Tha- tha - tha- tha - that Cantaloupe.
Baby don't, baby don't act so sweet
Just gimme that Cantaloupe.
That - that, that Cantaloupe
Gimme that - gimme that Cantaloupe.
[Campa]
I be that shitty mother fucker, you hate him but you love him
You took a million shots while I beat it on the buzzer

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
