I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible
do what you want
do what you want

I was thinking I would disappear
I will slip into the groove
And cut me up
And cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
so now I set you free
I set you free

There's an empty space inside my heart
It won't take root
so now I set you free
I set you free

Slowly we unfold
As lotus flowers
And all I want
Is the moon upon a stick
Dancing around a pit
Just to see what is
I can't kick your habit
Just to feed your fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
do what we want
do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
That once held you but now I
Set you free
I set you free

Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what is
Just to see what gives

the bird that's flown into my room

Slowly we unfold
as lotus flowers
All I want is the moon upon a stake
and dancing round the pit
the darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed my fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart

    I guess it's about someone who decides to enjoy a moment in time and take part in something he is not generally allowed to do... just enjoying thinking about what life could be like if only...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

The Night We Met
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
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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
