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.
And I will say what's on my mind
If I can find my way from here
Or I will stay a fallen man
If I can't find my where from here
Zero nothing and then left to die
Could I have everything here with no surprise?
Would I? Turn back the changes, and yet we try, abandon all abandon all on
the inside
Now I see the light
And I will say what's on my mind
If I can find my way from here
Or I will stay a fallen man
If I can't find my where from here
Zero nothing and then left to die
Could I have everything here with no surprise?
Would I? Turn back the changes, and yet we try, should I abandon all abandon
all that is mine
Never again will I walk the line, more than spirits inside they're no friend
of mine this is the same name I can't come to grips with it, and now I feel,
and now I feel dismissed
Now I see the light
If I can find my way from here
Or I will stay a fallen man
If I can't find my where from here
Zero nothing and then left to die
Could I have everything here with no surprise?
Would I? Turn back the changes, and yet we try, abandon all abandon all on
the inside
Now I see the light
And I will say what's on my mind
If I can find my way from here
Or I will stay a fallen man
If I can't find my where from here
Zero nothing and then left to die
Could I have everything here with no surprise?
Would I? Turn back the changes, and yet we try, should I abandon all abandon
all that is mine
Never again will I walk the line, more than spirits inside they're no friend
of mine this is the same name I can't come to grips with it, and now I feel,
and now I feel dismissed
Now I see the light

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song, is so fucking awesome. DKL is one of the best bands out...To bad the guitarist left =/. But they recovered and got shit handled, in the studio recording they're follow up to TDSON.
This track I THINK means if he dosen't express his feelings, he dosen't feel complete, and he did so and now he see's the light.
