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.
Analyze this chemistry
Producing poison
And creeping in your veins
For the love of blood
The poison slowly spreads
Through the body and the mind
Close your eyes and drop your things
Be ready to fly
You are now high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
After walking all the miles
Consumed into your bones
And breathing all the dust
Of the desert land
I know that all along
You were doing it for absolution
It's written in your eyes
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Away
Just want to fly away, always higher
Away
Embrace the light on the other side
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Round
Round
Round
Producing poison
And creeping in your veins
For the love of blood
The poison slowly spreads
Through the body and the mind
Close your eyes and drop your things
Be ready to fly
You are now high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
After walking all the miles
Consumed into your bones
And breathing all the dust
Of the desert land
I know that all along
You were doing it for absolution
It's written in your eyes
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Away
Just want to fly away, always higher
Away
Embrace the light on the other side
You are now, high
In the sun, burn
You're away, alive
On the moon, round
Round
Round
Round

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Joe and Mario Duplantier's mom passed away after a year-long battle fighting cancer, during the recording of Magma. Their loss inspired the spiritual direction that Gojira take on the album and is even reflected in its title track "Magma". "Magma actually refers to the lava when it is still in a volcano, it's the blood of the Earth at the point where it is boiling and ready to explode," Joe Duplantier explained to The Independent. "We put the sun on the cover to symbolically represent the big bang, the source of life. Not only that, but if you remove the 'g' from Magma it spells Mama and we see the 'g' as a representation of Gojira."
