Walls (featuring Delacey)

Wingtip

I remember it - the night we met
It was Tuesday at 2 AM
We were the only ones sober when the party was over
Said I really wanna see you again
And then 6 months later I was wearing your sweater
We were laughing at your friends
Yeah, in the beginning it was all so easy
But I fucked up in the end

And I know you moved out last week
But I can feel you in the walls
And I know I'm gonna make it back home to you
Even if I have to crawl

I don't ever wanna grow old alone
That's all I know
I don't ever wanna hold back feelings
So here I go
Into that heartless, darkness
Fading out slow
I don't ever wanna hold back feelings
So I'ma let it go

When we started the world was larger
And it felt like we were kids
Then time went by I could see the signs
I could feel it in your kiss
I tried so hard to keep moving on
And I just don't know what I did
Yeah, I wasn't perfect but no one is
I'd fake it but I can't pretend

And I know you moved out last week
But I can feel you in the walls
And I know I'm gonna make it back home to you
Even if I have to crawl

I don't ever wanna grow old alone
That's all I know
I don't ever wanna hold back feelings
So here I go
Into that heartless, darkness
Fading out slow
I don't ever wanna hold back feelings
So I'ma let go

So you'd hold me when all I've got is gray hair and aching bones
And you'd hold me when I'm lonely
And all my friends are gone

And I know you moved out last week
But I can feel you in the walls
And I know I'm gonna make it back home to you
Even if I have to crawl

    "And I know you moved out last week But I can feel you in the walls"

    That is an AMAZING line. We can all feel that line. Song meaning is right there.

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.

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/

Blue
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.
