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.
Everyday I get closer and closer to releasing this on you
Revel in it, I can snap it in half and let the other make this happen to you
All I see is over-rated biology drowning me
You're all abortions to me
Fuckin millions and millions of apologies
I don't give a fuck I can make you all go away
Anyway, you make me sick and it doesn't help your case
It's so serious I can't stop laughing
And I cannot wash my mouth of this taste
Defile, destroy, disgrace, deface, defy
I don't know how much longer I can live a lie
I want the whole world to burn, maybe then you'll learn
This wasn't meant to force on my head
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything
My arms are dead and my veins are too
And I'm starting to believe
My hands are shaking and I feel my smile
Like a wicked ?
No-ones crying anymore
I am closing the door
I am nothing but a mechanism ?
My ?
My ?
It's time that I give you my pain
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Revel in it, I can snap it in half and let the other make this happen to you
All I see is over-rated biology drowning me
You're all abortions to me
Fuckin millions and millions of apologies
I don't give a fuck I can make you all go away
Anyway, you make me sick and it doesn't help your case
It's so serious I can't stop laughing
And I cannot wash my mouth of this taste
Defile, destroy, disgrace, deface, defy
I don't know how much longer I can live a lie
I want the whole world to burn, maybe then you'll learn
This wasn't meant to force on my head
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything
My arms are dead and my veins are too
And I'm starting to believe
My hands are shaking and I feel my smile
Like a wicked ?
No-ones crying anymore
I am closing the door
I am nothing but a mechanism ?
My ?
My ?
It's time that I give you my pain
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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.
too bad this song is not played live... or had been better produced... :(
