Lullaby For Your Casket

Kilgore

Slowly lowered dawn
Eyes filled with tears
Figures fade from....
Dirt thrown on me
I'm not dead yet
Just beware what you wish for
It may kill you
Once you enter you may not leave
Humans are easy prey
'Cause God told me to
'Cause God told me to
I've finally seen the light again
An invitation to hell Death is just the beginning here
Say farewell to the flesh
Children shouldn't play with dead things
Rest in pieces
And if I die before I awake
He'll tear your soul apart
'Cause God told me to
'Cause God told me to
I've finally seen the light again
An invitation to hell
Death is just the beginning here
Farewell to the flesh
Christened in blood
Enemy of faith
Foe to the human race
And you embrace me
Evil never dies
Just takes a new soul
Bloody, born fire
Feeds on flesh
This just cannot be true
Plunge into darkness
Please God help me soon
I’m breathing
The sun’s in sight
I’m alive
I’m alright

    this song sounds like he had a dream that he died and went to hell, and he was asking to god to forgive him and to get him out of hell, then he woke up and realized that he was still alive

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

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.

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/

Page
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.
