I'll tear a hole in your skin and I'll fill you up with straws
You have no need for eyes, no need for lucky charms
I'll open up your chest and remove that gorgeous beating heart
You have no need for that, no need for lungs or anything at all

Let's open those eyes
and pluck them out
so they can see
what has become of me

I was born from the blood that was spilled
from the slaughter of decency

I'll make a neat little dress and I'll work you with the comb (you are sexy as fuck)
Those fingers and tiny toes will look like shiny gold
And I will clean my filthy nest to prepare for you, my dearest doll
You will be so proud of me, in love with me or sent down to the hole...

Let's set some basic rules, relationship goals
I don't want to be trapped in this life alone
So let us make plans for when we get old
For we will be beautiful!

Let's make a simple guide, on how to behave
We don't want to be trapped in this life alone
Let's make those plans for when we get old
You are so beautiful, we are so beautiful and dead!

Come join me in my bed and don't mind the crusty sheets
I've been enjoying you by myself, before we could ever meet (yes I have)
You have so many holes I don't even know where to begin
And when we finish this let's cuddle up and get some well earned sleep

I was born from the blood that was spilled
from the slaughter of decency

(Feat Heljarmadr & Dirk Verbeuren)

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about someone who has an unhealthy morbid infatuation with someone.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
