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.
So I submit you've failed us twice.
Once is for your brothers.
One is for your brothers and the second's for your sons.
Isolation, mis-education; and for very clever there is looming liquidation.
You put the light of Socialism high up on a shelf
and in effect prevented it from spreading somewhere else.
What have you done? What do you say top those who've died along the way?
Should you tell them that they've died in vain?
Now is when we should all be moving forward, but instead you're falling back.
Don't stop now when we're almost up the mountain, though the view here mighty seem nice.
Expatriate one hundred and then shoot a thousand more.
Expel the opposition to your centrist Thermidor!
The rudeness and disloyalty about which Lenin spoke (says wrote in song)
have now become the cords that are wrapped around your throats.
Once is for your brothers.
One is for your brothers and the second's for your sons.
Isolation, mis-education; and for very clever there is looming liquidation.
You put the light of Socialism high up on a shelf
and in effect prevented it from spreading somewhere else.
What have you done? What do you say top those who've died along the way?
Should you tell them that they've died in vain?
Now is when we should all be moving forward, but instead you're falling back.
Don't stop now when we're almost up the mountain, though the view here mighty seem nice.
Expatriate one hundred and then shoot a thousand more.
Expel the opposition to your centrist Thermidor!
The rudeness and disloyalty about which Lenin spoke (says wrote in song)
have now become the cords that are wrapped around your throats.

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is about Stalin expelling Trotsky from the Communist party in his attempt to gain complete control.
'The rudeness and disloyalty about which Lenin spoke (says wrote in song)'
It should be wrote; lennin, before his death and after suffering a number of strokes compiled a number of texts, one of which reveiwed the various pottential sucsessors. He heavaly crittisised Stalin and wrote that he must be 'removed'.
