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.
Falling flat, falling on my face
Up yours you fucking basket case
Come on, come on, take a shot
Kick me, kicking you, kick the lot
Talk to you with a frightening blade
Hear me stalk through the 6th fucking grade
Ear wax cloggin' up your head
Maybe you're dumb, maybe you want to be dead
Take a ride through a city tonight
Or we can stay here smoking shit
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah yeah
Fear grabs like a falling man
Unforgiving is its choking hand
Come on, come on if you've got the guts
Kill me now 'cause I don't give a fuck
In, out, baby I don't mind.
Nice cunt, nice behind
Groping around like a stupid kid
Na na na na na na na
Bastards fucking everywhere
It's all I see, I can't help but stare
Talking crap and looking like a twat
See the blade, feel the blade in your back
This night, this night is hot
Hope it rains, hope it rains a lot
Everywhere suckers stop and stare
Na na na na na na na
Fucking city's just a fucking mess
Up to its neck in fucking piss
Children playing with broken glass
Kill themselves for a laugh
Tired of being sold as meat
Whores give up beating on my meat
Actually, you know I don't really mind
Too many scabs, flesh is hard to find
Crime is here, here to stay
Under pressure to admit you're gay
No money, no love, no luck
Tough shit, stupid worthless fuck
Say you will, say you won't, say you will
Na na na na yeah yeah yeah
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Here I come, here I come
Shit and scum, fucking pigs everywhere
Harassing me but I don't fucking care
I'm not free, they're always tying me down
Taking me, taking me down town
Bitches, yeah I fucked my share
And their mothers cause I don't care
Say you will, say you won't, say you will
Talking shit, you want it up the hilt
Always feeling sick and always drunk
Raining at last, thank Christ you cunt
Do me now with your heroin chic
Say nothing more, do not fucking speak
Calmly walk from slut to slut
Up everyone, you know I don't mind a fuck
No protection baby, who fucking cares
Take a look, come on, everyone stare
Life for life is just the way its at
I don't remember last time I laughed
Call my woman but she's never home
Killed everyone to use this fucking phone
Eye for an eye and all that shit
Rip you off 'cause I need a hit
Sit down now I've had enough
Up yours you fucking basket case
Come on, come on, take a shot
Kick me, kicking you, kick the lot
Talk to you with a frightening blade
Hear me stalk through the 6th fucking grade
Ear wax cloggin' up your head
Maybe you're dumb, maybe you want to be dead
Take a ride through a city tonight
Or we can stay here smoking shit
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah yeah
Fear grabs like a falling man
Unforgiving is its choking hand
Come on, come on if you've got the guts
Kill me now 'cause I don't give a fuck
In, out, baby I don't mind.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
she put her pussy all over my face!
The slut!
nasty cos she's a fuckin slut with lot of puss!
Life of a drug girl. Who dosnt care about life. Living in crime city. In the song they sing about the city that is totally messed up. Drugs, whores and all kind of fun stuff.
Drug girl??... hmm it doesn't say "chick" but "chic" which means stylish and elegant. clearly meant in a ironical way. its about a guy who has lost all confidence in himself. His surroundings has lost all confidence and faith in him aswell. The guy has become numb and careless towards himself and others, due to his exessive drug abuse.
I view this song as being more of a disgust with the way that society is run. The profanities in this song are drowned in static, but I think this is in mockery of censorship. It seems to be a full verbal attack towards the vast majority of people.
