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.
Break the silence
With a whisper
Something that you said to me
Clear the air now
Theres nothing to talk about
I dont know why you drag it on
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
If its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
If its all my fault
Maybe I should feel guilty
But I dont
Its so redundant
The things that you say
I think I hurt you the first time
Can we move on
To something else now
I think we beat this one too long
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
If its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
If its all my fault
Maybe I should feel guilty
But its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
Its all my fault maybe I should feel guilty
But I dont
Break the silence
With a whisper
Something that you said to me
Clear the air now
Theres nothing to talk about
I dont know why you drag it on
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
If its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
Its all my fault
Maybe I should feel guilty
But its all my fault
why do I feel nothing
Its all my fault maybe I should feel guilty
But I dont
With a whisper
Something that you said to me
Clear the air now
Theres nothing to talk about
I dont know why you drag it on
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
If its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
If its all my fault
Maybe I should feel guilty
But I dont
Its so redundant
The things that you say
I think I hurt you the first time
Can we move on
To something else now
I think we beat this one too long
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
If its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
If its all my fault
Maybe I should feel guilty
But its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
Its all my fault maybe I should feel guilty
But I dont
Break the silence
With a whisper
Something that you said to me
Clear the air now
Theres nothing to talk about
I dont know why you drag it on
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
I dont know what you want from me
I dont know what you want me to say
If its all my fault
Why do I feel nothing
Its all my fault
Maybe I should feel guilty
But its all my fault
why do I feel nothing
Its all my fault maybe I should feel guilty
But I dont

Little Feat
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

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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i saw them at that show too...theywere wicked good...and the whole audience got into it and went up on stage...the best was at the end w/ dashboard when they sang that "hey hey hey goodbye" song!
