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.
Y'all wanna floss wit' us?
All across that, boy, we burnin' up
And all I ask for you to do is to turn it, turn it up
"Y'all know what this is"
Y'all wanna floss wit' us
All across that, boy, we burnin' up
And all I ask for you to do is to turn it, turn it up
C'mon
Saturday night off in Katana
All these girls dressed in Gabbana
Spotted one I've never seen
(Did ya come along?)
It's so lovely just to see ya
Even lovelier to meet ya
Won't you let me buy ya drink?
(What ya sippin' on?)
Now, baby, I'll be honest
When I first saw ya
I couldn't help but think about
What you were like in bed
I ain't tryin' ta sweat ya
I know that I just met ya
But would you agree if I said
We need to
(Be alone)
My car is right outside
(Be alone)
And it ain't too far of a drive
Over to my place
I know all the right songs to play
'Cause I tell you
It ain't nothin' like makin' all kind a love
To some music
Turn the music up
Tongue kissin' and huggin'
Touchin' and rubbin'
To that music
Turn the music up
So if you love that Maxwell
(Turn it up, turn it up)
How about some Jodeci?
(Turn it up, turn it up)
Bump and Grind to R Kelz
All you gotta do is say
J, turn it up
Now we off up in the ride
Crusin' down sunset
Girl, you see T-Pond
Is smellin' so good to me
I wanna love you to Usher
'Cause I know you need it nice and slow
I'm like Ginuwine
You got me (so anxious)
So let me play Tyrese
For my sweet lady
Now I know just what Jan meant
When she said
It's funny how time flies
So if you love that Maxwell
(Turn it up, turn it up)
How about some Jodeci?
(Turn it up, turn it up)
Bump and Grind to R Kelz
All you gotta do is say
J, turn it up
I hear some Mary J
(Turn it up, turn it up)
I know you diggin' Faith
(Turn it up, turn it up)
Don't Alicia got it goin' on
(Turn it up, turn it up)
All you gotta do is say
J, turn it up
Now I'm grown, girl
And if I hit you with a dick one time
You'll be gone, girl
Let's get it on, girl
We'll let the Marvin Gay play
While J do it all night long, girl
I'm in the zone, girl
Turn up your radio
And I guarantee that you'll hear one of my songs, girl
I write hits, gotta crib wit' a elevator in it
Ain't drop one single of my own, girl
Well, back to the groove
Fill the patron more
Baby, you want more
And I'm built to last
Slow motion or fast
We'll have a blast
Get spots you ain't even know you had
Now here's an idea
We ain't waitin' for the crib
Pull over the 550
Let's do it right here
And it seemin' like a dope fiend need a little more in love
So, baby, turn it up
So if you love that Maxwell
(Turn it up, turn it up)
How about some Jodeci?
(Turn it up, turn it up)
Bump and Grind to R Kelz
All you gotta do is say
J, turn it up
One time for Jagged Edge
(Turn it up, turn it up)
And, girl, I know you like 112
(Turn it up, turn it up)
And Luther is the best
(Turn it up, turn it up)
So all you gotta do is say
J, turn it up
Turn it up
All across that, boy, we burnin' up
And all I ask for you to do is to turn it, turn it up
"Y'all know what this is"
Y'all wanna floss wit' us
All across that, boy, we burnin' up

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
