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.
There's a fight, theres a path when you come out from
your corner you'll like the thought when you win how could i know it would come
down to this? it's just some plans that you couldnt fix
I could feel light
glow and rise and make some warmth for the ghosts to find
and i would break
like you wouldnt
believe, just like you didnt know me
all the focus swings
when the conversation ends be the mad hero, one you'll never see again
He
said how long's it been
she said "very, if it were up to me I'd never see you
again"
He took her hands into his reluctantly
he said something profound,
time waits for no one
there's a crime, theres a choice that you make when
you are cornered
you'll like the song that you sing
did you know it would end
up like this
its just a hole could've missed
I can make right all seem
wrong
I can spin it how I want
all the focus swings when the conversations
end
be a mad hero, one you'll never need again
He said how long's it
been
she said "very, if it were up to me I'd never see you again"
He took her
hands into his reluctantly
he said something profound, time waits for no
one
calling out to the light
calling out never felt right
i never want to
waste my time
time waits for no one
when the conversation ends...you belong
to me
your corner you'll like the thought when you win how could i know it would come
down to this? it's just some plans that you couldnt fix
I could feel light
glow and rise and make some warmth for the ghosts to find
and i would break
like you wouldnt
believe, just like you didnt know me
all the focus swings
when the conversation ends be the mad hero, one you'll never see again
He
said how long's it been
she said "very, if it were up to me I'd never see you
again"
He took her hands into his reluctantly
he said something profound,
time waits for no one
there's a crime, theres a choice that you make when
you are cornered
you'll like the song that you sing
did you know it would end
up like this
its just a hole could've missed
I can make right all seem
wrong
I can spin it how I want
all the focus swings when the conversations
end
be a mad hero, one you'll never need again
He said how long's it
been
she said "very, if it were up to me I'd never see you again"
He took her
hands into his reluctantly
he said something profound, time waits for no
one
calling out to the light
calling out never felt right
i never want to
waste my time
time waits for no one
when the conversation ends...you belong
to me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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

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.
Evans blue will not be the same without kevin writing their lyrics. The dude is just that good. Can wait til parabelle releases a full cd!
the new singer in evans blue is completely generic. im hoping that parabelle can get signed and have some money behind them to produce a better sounding album. I love there material but i definately feel the sound quality has something left to be desired. im a fan and cant wait to hear them live when they come to they bay area california.
Evans blue definitely will not be the same thats why I'm listening to Parabelle =). The you belong to me reminds me of saturnalia.
ahh i know! EB completely sucks without them now... but hey, at least we have Parabelle and hopefully Kevin's level will be out soon!
