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.
My soul simply won't bleed
Coal blackened walls surround my scene hardened
Callous I've been stung by bees forfeited courage keeps me in need
And i need your soul in black,
Trust you rape and left me to see my soul attacked it's innocence deaf
And dumb I can't hear the shit been preached to me losses i could
You rip through from my mind
And take my thoughts from me m mind
My space inside I'm lost replaced bliss with catastrophe
Heaven sends to you the seed
My mind receives and accepts deceit
My acceptance sometimes disturbing
My appearance shows no sympathy me in this state of mind
My balance off balance but i push through this dark time i lay awake at night
My body trembles wrapped with vines each tie
That binds represents another dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life
I know that there is no escape for me
This sweating i don't mind just fused with insanity
Dark time i lay awake at night my body trembles
Wrapped with vines each tie that binds represents another dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life in my life
My soul has been caught in the mix of your plague hardened
Callous I've been stung by bees forfeited courage keeps me in need
My life is meaningless now is it you that i thank
Coal blackened walls surround my scene hardened
Callous I've been stung by bees forfeited courage keeps me in need
And i need your soul in black,
Trust you rape and left me to see my soul attacked it's innocence deaf
And dumb I can't hear the shit been preached to me losses i could
You rip through from my mind
And take my thoughts from me m mind
My space inside I'm lost replaced bliss with catastrophe
Heaven sends to you the seed
My mind receives and accepts deceit
My acceptance sometimes disturbing
My appearance shows no sympathy me in this state of mind
My balance off balance but i push through this dark time i lay awake at night
My body trembles wrapped with vines each tie
That binds represents another dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life
I know that there is no escape for me
This sweating i don't mind just fused with insanity
Dark time i lay awake at night my body trembles
Wrapped with vines each tie that binds represents another dream demise
Oh fuck i need a handle in my life in my life
My soul has been caught in the mix of your plague hardened
Callous I've been stung by bees forfeited courage keeps me in need
My life is meaningless now is it you that i thank

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Yup, Ryan is a great bass player. Just like Matt is a good drummer, Greg is a good guitarist and Chad is a good singer. But people are too busy listening to the black eyed peas and simple plan they don't understand how talented Mudvayne are, and those people are just following the mainstream fad because it's 'in' right now. It's called talent, over half the stuff out there right now doesn't have any.
