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 stars and moon
Remind me of you
I don't know what to say
It might make you worse
I don't understand
What her problem is
I think she's just a fish!
I know you get it bad
You don't deserve this
And I won't put up
With their ignorance
And they tell you
They love you
Well the don't mean it
I don't think they know what they mean!
I don't think they know what love is
Throw it around like it's worthless
Don't think they know what love is
I don't get this town
Neither do you
We should run away
Just me and you
'Cause I don't get the people here
They're curious
They don't really care
Sea creatures
Interfere
Wish they would disappear
They don't know what love is
Throw it around like it's worthless
They don't know what love is!
I pray for you
And you know I don't like Jesus!
Want you to get better
Please, please get better
For you
For me
Remind me of you
I don't know what to say
It might make you worse
I don't understand
What her problem is
I think she's just a fish!
I know you get it bad
You don't deserve this
And I won't put up
With their ignorance
And they tell you
They love you
Well the don't mean it
I don't think they know what they mean!
I don't think they know what love is
Throw it around like it's worthless
Don't think they know what love is
I don't get this town
Neither do you
We should run away
Just me and you
'Cause I don't get the people here
They're curious
They don't really care
Sea creatures
Interfere
Wish they would disappear
They don't know what love is
Throw it around like it's worthless
They don't know what love is!
I pray for you
And you know I don't like Jesus!
Want you to get better
Please, please get better
For you
For me

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

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Even though she doesn't like Jesus, she is praying for the person that she thinks is so different from the rest of the town people that remind her of the sea creatures that float around without an aim. That's the love she could give to him/her, the only kind of love that's worth giving, regardless of anything else, even religion.
