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.
What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper and I can't take...
One more moment of this silence,
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.
It comes in waves I close my eyes,
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay and it's not alright.
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now,
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight,
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown.
What doesn't destroy you leaves you broken instead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper and I can't take...
One more moment of this silence,
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.
It comes in waves I close my eyes,
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay and it's not alright.
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now,
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight,
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own.
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now,
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper and I can't take...
One more moment of this silence,
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.
It comes in waves I close my eyes,
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay and it's not alright.
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now,
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight,
Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown.
What doesn't destroy you leaves you broken instead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper and I can't take...

'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own.
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now,
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself.
Don't let me drown

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/
Head > Heels

“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.
I think this song is about loneliness or abandonment. I cry whenever I here it because I am dreading the summer holidays. I wont see my best freind for six weeks! Two week holidays were bad enough, how am I supposed to last 6!? Only when I am on holidays do I realise how reliant I am of him. What if he moves schools? What if I move schools? Anyway, none of us are moving schools because both our parents are determined to keep us here until we graduate. Anywayway, ive gone way off track and this song is awesome! BMTH rulz!
