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.
I can't get rid of you
I don't know what to do
I don't even know who is growing on who
'cause everywhere I go you're there
Can't get you out of my hair
Can't pretend that I don't care, it's not fair
I'm being punished for all my offenses
I want to touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I want to banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see
Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yes you heard what I said
I want to shake you off but you just won't go
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown
Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me alone
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
I don't know what to do
I don't even know who is growing on who
'cause everywhere I go you're there
Can't get you out of my hair
Can't pretend that I don't care, it's not fair
I'm being punished for all my offenses
I want to touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I want to banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see
Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yes you heard what I said
I want to shake you off but you just won't go
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown
Won't you leave me, leave me, leave me alone
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
Any fool can see
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)
You're really growing on me
(or am I growing on you)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
