Birthday Cake

Rihanna

Come and put your name on it
Put your name on it
Come and put your name on it
Your name
But you wanna put your name on it
Put your name on it
Come and put your name on it
Ba-ba-baby, uh

It's not even my birthday (my birthday)
But he wanna lick the icing off (the icing off)
I know you want it in the worst way (worst way)
Can't wait to blow my candles out

He want that cake, cake
Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake
Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake (but you wanna put your name on it)
Cake, cake, cake

Ooh baby, I like it
You so excited
Don't try to hide it
I'ma make you my bitch
Cake, cake, cake, cake
Cake, cake, cake, cake
Cake, cake, cake, cake (but you wanna put your name on it)
Cake, cake, cake

I know you wanna bite this
It's so enticin'
Nothin' else like this
I'ma make you my bitch

And it's not even my birthday (my birthday)
But you wanna put your name on it
And it's not even my birthday (my birthday)
And he tryna put his name on it
Ooh, I wanna fuck you right now (ooh)
Just get up on my body

    These lyrics are so deep. She is making a statement about her personality, her sexuality and her birthday. Yes. That is obvious.

    But the hints towards the sheer futility of life yet the beauty in it, religion, poverty and the desire of fame yet the lack of a genuine meaningful life is just superb.

    Well done, Rihanna. You have done our generation proud.

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.

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 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.

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.
