After You

Meg Myers

Just wanna dance with you all night
When everyone has their disguise
I'll show you my heart is real
I'll show you how this could feel

This moment shaking in my hands
I'll share this secret for a chance
Just to be here with you
Just to get lost with you

When it's cold
I just wanna feel your touch
When it's cold
There's nobody else I'd rather know

I'm falling in deep
Do you already know my love is after you
I'm falling in deep
Do you already know my love is after you

I'm writing letters in my head
I sign my name but never send
All of my thoughts are you
All of my mind's on you

I stole this sweater from your car
So I'd have you all night in my arms
Now as I go to sleep
I got you here with me

When it's cold
I just wanna feel your touch
When it's cold
There's nobody else I'd rather know

I'm falling in deep
Do you already know my love is after you
I'm falling in deep
Do you already know my love is after you

My heart skips a beat

I'm falling in deep
Do you already know my love is after you
I'm falling in deep
Do you already know my love is after you

    It's obvious what this song is about - new-found love and infatuation. This is someone she feels like she can be her complete self with, and she doesn't seem to be used to that.. She was scared to be vulnerable but when she did, she realized this is what she really wanted. When she opened up, she fell for this person almost immediately. I am a guy experiencing this with a girl who I've known for 4 years now, but only now are we actually hanging out and getting to know the depths that exist in one another. Needless to say it hits me close to home, and I wish I could be this open with her but she's been hurt recently and I don't want to scare her with how real this feels to me. I plan to wait on her to heal before making a move, but I can't hold back how I feel. It's raw emotion that will not be controlled and it longs to be realized and used for a commitment that nothing on this Earth could kill.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
