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.
I get over heels for someone, I
That I really can't deal with, deal with
I want to block her out my mind
But I really can't do it, do it
I tell myself this the last time
I'ma let her do this to me
Whenever we do spend time
I realize that I can't get enough of you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
If I could start with words 'cause it's the only hope of feasting I got left
And everything I love about you is a mess
Smash the mirror and break the palm in his hand
I want to be better than I am
Let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
Girl, just look what you've done
How could you do this to me?
I gotta put my foot down
I can't let you do this to me
I can't forget those good ole times
And all the things you've been doing to me
I wanna hit that one more time
I mean love, what you're doing to me
I'ma say it loud, right here
Let's **** in this crowd
Why we arguing
I thought me and you were supposed to be friends
Let's chill for minute
Better yet we need a heal for a minute
Baby, put down the knife
Sometime I wanna save ya life, why don't you
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
We ain't got no *** band
We ain't got no stinking the *** microphone setter
Timbaland, you tuned in, son of a b***
Let's get this f*** out of my house now
Before I get to my and I can't turn back
Hey, didn't I say you to f*** out
Get the f*** out
That I really can't deal with, deal with
I want to block her out my mind
But I really can't do it, do it
I tell myself this the last time
I'ma let her do this to me
Whenever we do spend time
I realize that I can't get enough of you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
If I could start with words 'cause it's the only hope of feasting I got left
And everything I love about you is a mess
Smash the mirror and break the palm in his hand
I want to be better than I am
Let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your **** face, let me say to you
Wipe that smile off your face
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Right in the middle, I'm right in the middle
To be despised, to be loved
To be dreamt of, to be sought
To be inside, I don't care
Be my unholy, my one and my lonely
Girl, just look what you've done
How could you do this to me?
I gotta put my foot down
I can't let you do this to me
I can't forget those good ole times

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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/

“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.
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.
whooo! pat finally gets to swear! cool song he's completely awsome
