Tryna' make it to heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful earth is from this point of view
So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down (down down down)

Yeah
Whoa ah (Bringing me down)
Yeah, ah, Yeah

? just have to let my light shine
Like the sun that illuminates the sky so bright
Like the stars that chase away the dawn this night
Church by it would be whoa like the moon that flow, let's go
Lord, I want to be where you are
But in my flesh Lord, I can only go so far
It's like a test, every time I try to raise the bar
I want to worship, really, but it's too much gravity

Tryna' make it to heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful earth is from this point of view
So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down
So much hatred, famine and wars
I don't want to go back anymore
Wanna share with the world the peace that I found
But gravity keeps on bring me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down

If I can just fly away
From the negative energy that's strongest my faith
Get on a space ship, take a trip through space
Go with me sight seeing through the milky way
How did you make Pluto, Jupiter and Mars
Only you can make Venus, Neptune and Stars
And ? makes me feel like I can just surf in gravity
Brings me way back down to Earth

Tryna' make it to heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful earth is from this point of view
So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down
So much hatred, famine and wars
I don't want to go back anymore
Wanna share with the world the peace that I found
But gravity keeps on bring me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down
Gravity, Keeps bringing me down

Yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah eh

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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/
