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.
When I quest my flashing sword and my hand takes hold of judgment, I will take vengeance upon mine enemies and I will have paid those who haze me, Oh Lord raise me to thy right hand and count me among thy saints.
Fuck your world, and fuck your kind.
Go fuck yourself, you're fucking barely alive.
I used to think of what you meant to me.
I think of you every fucking day.
Why the fuck did I let you into my heart?
Now where do I begin?
Today is my last fucking chance.
Erase it all and kill my past.
Fuck what we fucking shared.
The memories don't mean shit.
Don't give a fuck about what you'll say.
The memories don't mean shit, anymore.
You're society's whore.
Anymore.
I'll walk through this wasteland
Before I'll ever fucking hold your hand again.
I'll burn forever, before I ever fucking see your face again, in hell.
Anymore.
And you're society's whore.
Anymore.
Mother fucker.
And that's fucking right.
Fuck you forever.
I'll despise you for the rest of these days.
Fuck you forever.
I'll fucking hate you for the rest of my life, my life.
Why the fuck did I let you into my heart?
Now where do I begin?
Today is my last fucking chance.
Erase it all, and kill my past.
Fuck what we fucking shared.
The memories don't mean shit.
Don't give a fuck about what you'll say.
The memories don't mean shit, anymore.
You're society's whore.
Anymore.
Revenge I seek.
Fuck your world, and fuck your kind.
Go fuck yourself, you're fucking barely alive.
I used to think of what you meant to me.
I think of you every fucking day.
Why the fuck did I let you into my heart?
Now where do I begin?
Today is my last fucking chance.
Erase it all and kill my past.
Fuck what we fucking shared.
The memories don't mean shit.
Don't give a fuck about what you'll say.
The memories don't mean shit, anymore.
You're society's whore.
Anymore.
I'll walk through this wasteland
Before I'll ever fucking hold your hand again.
I'll burn forever, before I ever fucking see your face again, in hell.
Anymore.
And you're society's whore.
Anymore.
Mother fucker.
And that's fucking right.
Fuck you forever.
I'll despise you for the rest of these days.
Fuck you forever.
I'll fucking hate you for the rest of my life, my life.
Why the fuck did I let you into my heart?
Now where do I begin?
Today is my last fucking chance.
Erase it all, and kill my past.
Fuck what we fucking shared.
The memories don't mean shit.
Don't give a fuck about what you'll say.
The memories don't mean shit, anymore.
You're society's whore.
Anymore.
Revenge I seek.

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

“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.
