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.
It was Tuesday night,
We were at the show,
You said it's getting late,
We gotta go,
But the minute I walked in your front door
I saw your mom and I almost hit the floor
It was the way she was licking her ice cream cone,
I wanted to slip her my big bad bone,
But I didn't want you to know,
I thought your mom was so beautiful,
But I never thought it would lead to this,
I spent the night that we had our first kiss,
Even though the woman is 45,
She makes me glad to be alive
Alive
I decided to stay
You went to bed,
And I won't repeat the things she said,
I got her hand and I got up on her,
I blew faster than the unibomber,
Then the bell rang,
It's time for round two,
She introduced the scooby-doo-wop-bop-boom,
Then she pulled out a 20-inch butt plug (Oh no!)
I've never experienced butt love,
But I never thought it would lead to this,
I spent the night that we had our first kiss,
Even though the woman is 45,
She makes me glad to be alive,
How do I break up,
With my best friend's mom,
How do I break up,
With my best friend's mom
The next day i went to tell her it was over,
She spun me around,
And she bent me over,
Spanked me up and down,
Left and right,
All around
Well I guess there's a major lesson learned,
You're dogging your best friend's mom,
You're gonna get burned,
Now the girl's always calling me on the phone,
Doggy wants to hide a bone.
But I never thought it would lead to this,
I spent the night that we had our first kiss,
Even though the woman is 45,
She makes me glad to be alive,
How do I break up,
With my best friend's mom,
How do I break up,
With my best friend's mom
Get away,
Get away
Get away get away,
Get away,
Get away,
Get away get away,
Get away,
Get away
Get away get away,
Get away from me
Get away,
Get away
Get away get away,
Get away,
Get away,
Get away get away,
Get away from me,
Get away from me.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I wish someone would look at this song. By the way, if anyone does, you can find it at...
