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.
I'll bring down this house
I'll creep in and out
The thieves of the wind leaving no trace about
But all that I touch will be changed beyond doubt
Mind you I'll mind you I'm mine to protect
I will watch over you who will suspect
Deep in the wood where no one can detect
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
The curse on this house has been cast throughout
Only I know what lingers without
All that has led me be proof beyond doubt
Bury my love right deep in the ground
I went from watchful eyes all around
Save for the treasure that can not be found
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to
Let you be consumed
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
I'll creep in and out
The thieves of the wind leaving no trace about
But all that I touch will be changed beyond doubt
Mind you I'll mind you I'm mine to protect
I will watch over you who will suspect
Deep in the wood where no one can detect
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
The curse on this house has been cast throughout
Only I know what lingers without
All that has led me be proof beyond doubt
Bury my love right deep in the ground
I went from watchful eyes all around
Save for the treasure that can not be found
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
In the wood something glowing
A burning light has started growing
It feels like a change is upon us at last
Consuming us fast, change is upon us
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light
The smoke in the night
The ash on the light
I think that it might be the last thing in sight
I know now I am right to
Let you be consumed
I know now I am right to let you be consumed by the light

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I believe I read somewhere it was based on the novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Even if this is not true, I just finished the book and it fits pretty perfectly.
