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.
Love everywhere
Exploding, maims and blinds
A living dance upon dead minds
Love everywhere
Exploding, maims and blinds
A living dance upon dead minds
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed(measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
Why its love
But at the earliest spear
Of sun
Perfectly should disappear
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
Exploding, maims and blinds
A living dance upon dead minds
Love everywhere
Exploding, maims and blinds
A living dance upon dead minds
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed(measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
Why its love
But at the earliest spear
Of sun
Perfectly should disappear
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
Who wields a poem huger than the grave?
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains
But surely does not forget (perish)
Sleep, cannot be photographed (measured)
Disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/

dont know. thats my take on it.
"disdains the trivial labeling of punctual brains"
this means that we should not try to "label" love in a punctual way, or in other terms, we should not try to describe love, as it is beyond common comprehension
it is NOT talking about labeling our brains, but actually saying we should not try to "label" love with our "punctual brains"
Three words: Love Trancends All.
"who wields a poem huger than the grave" Poem=love Grave=death
This is actually oringinally a poem buy a guy whos name alludes me at the moment
C.S. Lewis...also As The Ruin Falls was an original poem by C.S. Lewis

This song is the best. I love this song. Thrice is sooo awesome. =)
this song is about how we try to quantify life and make it seem ordered and predictable but there is something beautifull about it that we can't even begin to understand but which we all know deep inside of ourselves
hey deadbolt... this poem is by E.E. Cummings, "as the ruin falls" is by C.S. Lewis tho
