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.
When you go you take part of me with you
leave me shakin' no longer whole
This is something that I can't wait for,
this is something that I can't have
I'm just dreaming of your breathing
…I'm fucked!
My body is shaking like cables,
everything is turning grey…
I'm wasted and washed out and worried
I can hear you breathing…
I'm just dreaming of your breathing
…I'm fucked!
I hate it when she makes me feel,
she tears strips off me, crippled, lost & vulnerable
Everytime I think of you
…I'm fucked!
leave me shakin' no longer whole
This is something that I can't wait for,
this is something that I can't have
I'm just dreaming of your breathing
…I'm fucked!
My body is shaking like cables,
everything is turning grey…
I'm wasted and washed out and worried
I can hear you breathing…
I'm just dreaming of your breathing
…I'm fucked!
I hate it when she makes me feel,
she tears strips off me, crippled, lost & vulnerable
Everytime I think of you
…I'm fucked!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
About dependance on someone, and how it can affect us. 'Neck Freak' must be a reference to the somewhat vampiric nature of this subject. Best song on the album, in my eyes, they played it live when I saw them in Nottingham last year, made my whole darn year, that did.
Ahh, never got the vampire thing before, now the title makes sense :)
