Now what have I become?
It's more black in my heart
Than the ice in your lungs

Hail elegance as we revel in the lust of pure destruction
"Miss Cadaverous," let me light the darkness in your eyes

I am yours
Like the stillness of a corpse
With a heart bound by ache
Though it doesn't beat it breaks
I am cursed

I sew my eye's shut just to sleep
We're caught in all the webs we weave
No sonnet for the recently deceased
They lie awake just to hear you scream

Strip the world and paint it fucking black

Now what have you become?
You once felt like home
Now a ghost in the fog

The funeral song of misery was played on keys ivory
"Miss Cadaverous," show me who you really are

In my eyes I am yours
Such a paleness I adore
With a heart that's bound by pain
Through it doesn't beat it breaks
I am cursed

Oh what a mess I have made of my life
"His arms are around me, his tongue in my eyes"
Hide my face from the light
"The spider man is having me for dinner tonight"

Now go back to the start
I still hear her voice
But she's lost in the fog

Your love is just a frail disguise
To hide the pain behind your eyes
In lacerated lullabies
We all fall down

Your love is just your alibi
The antidote of your demise
In lacerated lullabies
We all fall down

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.

The Night We Met
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"

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
