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.
She's a Wicked Girl
Worst in all the world
A mystery lies in her
She spends her days
In a violent rage
Try as I might
I love her
Everytime the tears run dry
The story goes
What's left behind
Shivers like a leaf
Taciturn and gentle
It's not hard to believe
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with my mind
Don't ask me why,
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with your mind
She likes to fight
The whole world bang to rights
Yours truly, I'd die for her
The growing pains
Dissolve in lemonade
The sweetness flies to her
Every time her temper flares
A storm will blow
What's left's so rare
A fragment of the girl
Soft and sentimental
The side she tries not to share
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with my head
Don't ask me why,
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with your mind
Don't ask me why,
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with my mind
When your song is sung
Don't let me colour your opinion
That girl's my life, I tell ya
Every time my tears run dry
And the moment's flown
And re-designed
My feelings for the girl
How could I be with out her?
I would surely still find
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with my mind
Don't ask me why,
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with my mind
Don't ask me why,
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with your mind
Don't ask me why,
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with my mind
Worst in all the world
A mystery lies in her
She spends her days
In a violent rage
Try as I might
I love her
Everytime the tears run dry
The story goes
What's left behind
Shivers like a leaf
Taciturn and gentle
It's not hard to believe
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with my mind
Don't ask me why,
The Girlshapedlovedrug
Messes with your mind
She likes to fight
The whole world bang to rights
Yours truly, I'd die for her
The growing pains
Dissolve in lemonade
The sweetness flies to her
Every time her temper flares
A storm will blow

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Wow I can't believe no one has commented on this song yet! I think it's brilliant! The video is also great. Liking the rest of the album as well. I think it is about the writer being addicted (hence the title) to a female. However, he (assuming the writer is male) is confused because she is nice to him one minute but then horrible towards him the next. She clearly has quite a temper and flies off the handle with him a lot and he doesn't know why. All he knows is he loves her.My only correction is that I believe it goes more like 'Yours truly'd (would) die for her'. There are a few other parts I'm unsure of as well but on the whole it is accurate. Great song!
Agreed. This is a great song- the whole album is awesome. This song is particularly self-explanatory, which isn't a bad thing...
I love this song. I cannot believe only two people commented on it! The second I heard it on grey's anatomy i was hooked. it has a catchy beat and good lyrics. i think the meaning is quite obvious. he is addicted to a girl-hence the word drug-who has a quick temper. she has a tough edge, but he seems to know the real her, which is the girl he loves and it obsessed with.
woah. i just heard this song 4 the first time like 10 minutes ago and its already one of my faves
snow.patroler, are you a fan of snow patrol because of grey's anatomy also. that freaking show has ruined so much for me. Every time i find a new band on my own i hear people say, "oh, i've heard them on grey's." it's so freaking annoying. Gomez rocks on this album, and this song is the best. true, it''s self-explanatory, but the theme and idea behind it is brilliant. word to you girls out there you are like a drug to guys. thanks a lot...!
