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.
How many people want to kick some ass?
I used to be
A nerd
Grew up in the
Suburbs
Nothing there
Ever went wrong
I made it up
In this song
I talk about
The heard
I say stuff like
Its all good
Tell people I'm down
With all the cool kids
Down town
When I've never even
Been there
[Chorus]
How many people want to kick some ass
(I do I do)
And how many people are sick of holding it back
(I am) well I am too
So don't lay another finger on her
She's mine and I still want her
You can put your hands up on her,
You're a goner a goner
And how many people are sick of holding it back
(I am I am)
And how many people want to kick some ass?
I would if I could but
I'm really just a sensitive artist
But portrayed like I am the hardest
So swing your cap around
To the back
You think you rhyme
But you can't rap
Loosen that strap
A little more
Till your axe
Hits the floor
Flip off your fans
Make um cheer
Try to look
Sincere
Angers today's
Fashion
So sing another song about
Bashing someone's head in
[Chorus]
Acting like
I'm not the smartest
I'm really just a Sensitive artist
So don't lay another finger on her
She's mine and I still want her
You can put your hands up on her,
You're a goner a goner
And how many people are sick of holding it back
(I am I am)
And how many people want to kick some ass?
I said how many people want to kick some ass
How many people want to kick some ass
What ya gunna do when you're sick of holding it back?
I think ill kick some ass
How many people want to kick some ass
I would if I could but
I'm really just a sensitive artist
But portrayed like I am the hardest
Acting like
I'm not the smartest
I'm really just a sensitive artist

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/
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.
whatever it means......it just rocks. I agree with the darkpenguin......they're mocking other bands.....and its cool. as long as the song is good....and makes u feel allrite....the band's going to go on.
damn i just love music....
