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.

[Lyrics: Mark Kelson]
My hunger for you grows inside me
Like an eternal fire burning inside my soul
I long to taste your flesh
I hunger for your warm blood
Into my darkness you bring light
Can I feel love once more
Or am I damned into emptiness
Where your touch I shall never feel
I am your servant
I would die for you one thousand times
For you no pain is stronger
Than the pain that tears at my heart. . .
You are all things pure, all things of god
I need you for you are my destiny, everything I desire
I bare not feel your warm blood on my cold flesh
You shall not feel my torment ever. . .
I am your servant
I would die for you one thousand times
For you no pain is stronger
Than the pain that tears at my hear. . .
Words can't describe my emotions
I no longer experience fear
Why did it come to this blind in our pain
The events of my life are before me
Birth lay the path towards death
The subsistence of my flesh condemned to rot
Our souls become one
Our pain washed away
In a storm of renewed hope
I feel you inside my mind
Together at last for eternity. . .

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
