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.
Go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
You better believe it, confidence
Go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
Spit out all reason
Yeah
I'm tired of holding up the weight, the weight of the mother fucking world
All I want to do is just get right here right now
We struggle and fight just to get in a grave, that's overflowing
Clock's ticking on my fifteen minutes of fame, come on now, one two three
Go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
You better believe it, confidence
Go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
Spit out all reason
Yeah
Well, I'm flushing the trust of everyone
Stabbing in the back and thinkin' they can break me
Set my sight can't die till I'm done
Mind endurance
Never wanted anymore than what I deserve
Better bring it I'm taking it all
Fuck an inch 'cause I'm bringin' a mile
It's on now, one two three, go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
You better believe it, confidence
Go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
Spit out all reason,
Yeah
This fire, is growing, is burning deep inside of me
Focused, driven, certain, the way it's gotta be
Fire, growing, burning, deep inside of me, focused
Driven, certain, the way it's got to be
Crooked, no trust, liar, conman, drunk with, power
Mentor, taught me everything that I know
So wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
One two three, go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
You better believe it, confidence
Go
So fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
Spit out all reason
Yeah
Go
I'm fucking determined
Yeah, yeah go
You better believe it, confidence

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
kud, if thats you, you're a shallow bastard. catchy song, though.
