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.
Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro!
Dressed in a Tom Wayne t-shirt
In walks the golden girl
Blessed with a now-chemical smile
Piss drunk on red wine and melody
The drink it sways addiction
But strengthens her convictions
Some words get slurred
Some lines get blurred
You see where this is heading
Oh come on
Don't go there
The beat skips on some hit remix
The dance floor moves and then forgets
I know just how they're feeling
The unbearable likeness of being
"Some stones are better left unturned"
She quoted Dondo and Kafka
"There is hope, though not for us"
Was there a point to all of...
Oh come on
Don't go there
Pass out still wearing all your clothes
Shut your eyes and let your head fill with ghosts
Oh come on
Wake up with one foot on the floor
The room spins a little slower than the night before
Oh come on (oh come on... oh come on...)
Don't go there (don't go there... don't go there...)
Oh come on (oh come on... oh come on...)
Don't go there (don't go there... don't go there...)
Dressed in a Tom Wayne t-shirt
In walks the golden girl
Blessed with a now-chemical smile
Piss drunk on red wine and melody
The drink it sways addiction

Oh come on
Don't go there
The beat skips on some hit remix
The dance floor moves and then forgets
I know just how they're feeling
The unbearable likeness of being

Oh come on
Don't go there
Pass out still wearing all your clothes
Shut your eyes and let your head fill with ghosts
Oh come on
Wake up with one foot on the floor
The room spins a little slower than the night before
Oh come on (oh come on... oh come on...)
Don't go there (don't go there... don't go there...)
Oh come on (oh come on... oh come on...)
Don't go there (don't go there... don't go there...)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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

“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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Nice try for the first one, it was really close, but my cousin started this band and helped write this song so here are the actual lyrics.
Dressed in a Tom Wakes t-shirt In walks the golden girl Blessed with a now-chemical smile Piss drunk on red wine and vanity
The drink it sways addiction But strengthens her convictions Some words get slurred Some lines get blurred You see where this is heading

Maybe you can tell us who the Dondo in question is, then? Wiki and google are no help.
