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 told her that I missed her, put her on a plane.
Goyard luggage, just a product of the fame.
I told her that I dug her, I wasn't running game,
and if she left a nigga, I wouldn't be the same.
She met me at the W, grabbed me by my chain.
Then kissed me like she meant it, so glad she came.
Told me she was in love and I'm the one to blame,
and when she got off the plane she didn't feel the same
I made a change for my baby, a difference for love
and I ain't frontin', feel like you are the one.
I got the ring, girl, if you want. Could have my name,
girl, if you want.
See baby I been looking so long.
Feel like you let me show you wasn't feeling them at all.
Cause baby I'm a sucker for love, a sucker for love.
Girl I'm a sucker for love, a sucker for love.
You've been suff'ring so long
You knew that it was over, wasn't feeling them at all.
Cause baby you's a sucker for love, a sucker for love,
a sucker for love, a sucker for love.
Summer love in the winter, flames in the rain.
The only one I'm into, never gonna change.
Cause when I said I dug her, I wasn't running game.
Since she been rocking with me, the crush has been insane.
She's a 1 of 1 D color VVS stone
My precious, you're my everything. No, please don't leave me 'lone.
She told me she was so sprung. I never was a lame.
After feeling so good, she wish that it would stay.
I made a change for my baby, a difference for love
and I ain't frontin', feel like you are the one.
I got the ring, girl if you want. Could have my name,
girl if you want.
See baby I been looking so long.
Feel like you let me show you wasn't feeling them at all.
Cause baby I'm a sucker for love, a sucker for love.
Girl I'm a sucker for love, a sucker for love.
You've been suff'ring so long
You knew that it was over, wasn't feeling them at all.
Cause baby you's a sucker for love, a sucker for love,
a sucker for love, a sucker for love.
Love. Said I only think about her when I wake up.
Oh
Love. We did for, we did it for love, love, love.
See baby looking so long
Shorty wasn't feeling them at all
A sucker for love
A sucker for love
A sucker for love
A sucker for love
Been suff'ring too long
Over, wasn't feeling them at all
A sucker for love
A sucker for love
A sucker for love
A sucker for love

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
