Twelve Labors

Killer Be Killed

Slay the nemean lion
Slay the hydra
Capture the golden of artemis
Fight the erymanthian boar
Clean the augean
Kill the stymphalian birds

Constellation strength to enter heaven
Killing a fire breathing titan
Constellation strength to enter heaven
Killing a fire breathing titan

Enslave the cretan bull
Steal the mares of diomedes
Murder the amazons
Defeat geryon
Steal the poison apples
Capture and bring back cerberus

Constellation strength to enter heaven
Killing a fire breathing titan
Constellation strength to enter heaven
Killing a fire breathing titan

Crawl down the path I reach the sacred sea
The lion's mouth hangs loose in front of me
Fighting a giant antaeus, retrieving alcestis underworld

Boil my own skin, I hate the way it tastes
I wake from sleep and start to walk again
The road is long and grueling
The stone rolls back but there's no shame

Divine mystic mythology
Hero in a lion's skin

Prometheus
Prometheus

Constellation strength to enter heaven
Killing a fire breathing titan
Constellation strength to enter heaven
Killing a fire breathing titan

    Is there any meaning behind the myths and trials of mythical heroes??

    Probably not one of their best efforts on their first album.

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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
