Te están buscando matador

Me dicen el matador, nací en barracas
Si hablamos de matar mis palabras matan
No hace mucho tiempo que cayo el León Santillan
Y ahora se que en cualquier momento me las van a dar

Me dicen el matador me están buscando
En una fría pensión los estoy esperando
Agazapado en lo mas oscuro de mi habitación
Fusil en mano, espero mi final

Matador, matador
Donde estas, matador
Matador, matador
No te vayas, matador
Matador, oh yeah
Matador, matado

Viento de libertad sangre combativa
En los bolsillos del pueblo la vieja herida
De pronto el día se me hace de noche

Murmullos, corridas
Aquel golpe en la puerta, llego la fuerza policial

Papapao, ma matador
Mira hermano en que terminaste
Por pelear por un mundo mejor

Que suenan, son balas
Me alcanzan, me atrapan
Resiste, Víctor Jara
No calla.
Matador, matador
Matador te están buscando
Matador, matador
Matador te están matando
Matador, oh yeah
Matador, matador
Me dicen el matador de los 100 barrios porteños
No tengo por que tener miedo mis palabras son balas
Balas de paz, balas de justicia
Soy la voz de los que hicieron callar sin razón
Por el solo hecho de pensar distinto, ay Dios
Santa María de los Buenos Aires
Si todo estuviera mejor

Matador, matador
Si todo estuviera mejor
Matador, matador
A donde vas matador
Matador
Matador, matador

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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
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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
