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.
the chain is broken
i hear it rattle as you slip away from me
my part was spoken
but my eyes tell the story differently
and i've tried to hide it
but i still look up when you walk in the room
i can't stand by as you tear apart the world i built for you
stephanie, don't you see?
the crystal vision that you trust
has come between the both of us
stephanie, don't you see?
the limelight turned you sour
now it's turning you away from me
maybe i'm a dreamer
but i did believe that i could make you stay
the ones you dream of
always seem to be the ones who run away
so go your own way
enchanted as your taken by the sky
the glitter fades and
i see you through the mirror's other side
stephanie, don't you see?
the crystal vision that you trust
has come between the both of us
stephanie, don't you see?
the limelight turned you sour
now it's turning you away from me
you turn, turn away from me
the colors fade and bleed
stephanie, don't you see?
the crystal vision that you trust
has come between the both of us
stephanie, don't you see?
the limelight turned you sour
now it's turning you away from...
stephanie, now i see
the crystal vision that you trust
proved to be too much for us
stephanie, now i see
the limelight turned you sour
and you're never turning back to me
i hear it rattle as you slip away from me
my part was spoken
but my eyes tell the story differently
and i've tried to hide it
but i still look up when you walk in the room
i can't stand by as you tear apart the world i built for you
stephanie, don't you see?
the crystal vision that you trust
has come between the both of us
stephanie, don't you see?
the limelight turned you sour
now it's turning you away from me
maybe i'm a dreamer
but i did believe that i could make you stay
the ones you dream of
always seem to be the ones who run away
so go your own way
enchanted as your taken by the sky
the glitter fades and
i see you through the mirror's other side
stephanie, don't you see?
the crystal vision that you trust
has come between the both of us
stephanie, don't you see?
the limelight turned you sour
now it's turning you away from me
you turn, turn away from me
the colors fade and bleed
stephanie, don't you see?
the crystal vision that you trust
has come between the both of us
stephanie, don't you see?
the limelight turned you sour
now it's turning you away from...
stephanie, now i see
the crystal vision that you trust
proved to be too much for us
stephanie, now i see
the limelight turned you sour
and you're never turning back to me

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/
