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.
Hit ya with a show
I hit ya with a show
Hit ya with a show
Whatchu think about me
I really think it's dope
Really think it's dope
Now I wanna know
If I could kick it with you
No I got to go
Another fuckin' show
So now it's time to roll
With the nice and easy
Can't you make some time
I really wouldn't mind
Oh you really wouldn't mind
You salad tossin' sissy
Don't be that way
Don't make me be that way
Hit me with a rhyme
Hit me with a rhyme
Hit me with a rhyme
That fits the color of your skin
What's with the fuckin' clothes
The baggy fuckin' clothes
Don't think you really know
It's just the coolest thing that's in
Don't freeload
Don't follow
Just be yourself yeah
What's with all the time
Hangin' out all night
Don't you have to go to someone elses place now
I think it's time to go
I'm really glad to know
That you pierced your nose
And a million other things that suck
This conversation's just not for me
This conversation just wants to be
The one that wastes all my time
Useless fuck you're wasting your life
You free load
You'll swallow whatever comes your way
Pre Chorus
So just leave
Please go away
You wanna what
You got nowhere to go
Why'd you put me in this situation
You know ya killing it with your visitation
Can't ya see it's just a lack of brains
That makes you all the same
I hit ya with a show
Hit ya with a show
Whatchu think about me
I really think it's dope
Really think it's dope
Now I wanna know
If I could kick it with you
No I got to go
Another fuckin' show
So now it's time to roll
With the nice and easy
Can't you make some time
I really wouldn't mind
Oh you really wouldn't mind
You salad tossin' sissy
Don't be that way
Don't make me be that way
Hit me with a rhyme
Hit me with a rhyme
Hit me with a rhyme
That fits the color of your skin
What's with the fuckin' clothes
The baggy fuckin' clothes
Don't think you really know
It's just the coolest thing that's in
Don't freeload
Don't follow
Just be yourself yeah
What's with all the time
Hangin' out all night
Don't you have to go to someone elses place now
I think it's time to go
I'm really glad to know
That you pierced your nose
And a million other things that suck
This conversation's just not for me
This conversation just wants to be
The one that wastes all my time
Useless fuck you're wasting your life
You free load
You'll swallow whatever comes your way
Pre Chorus
So just leave
Please go away
You wanna what
You got nowhere to go
Why'd you put me in this situation
You know ya killing it with your visitation
Can't ya see it's just a lack of brains
That makes you all the same

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/
