This is for the one who helped put me on this earth, shut me out since birth, take ya for what ya worth. A fuck up is what I think of first. Always tried ta corrupt my mind. Nevertheless I turned out fine. How come ... how come you never had the time!! No, its never easy. She always tried to please me. On your death bed, and ya finally wannna see me. Mama didn't raise a fool, fucked up in skool, beat me black and blue, and where the fuck were you? I must have forgot my life had nothing to do w/ the ones I never knew. [chorus] Beat ya like a drum. Ta show ya where I'm from. Beat ya like a motherfuckin drum. Ta show ya where I come from. Straight from the E-town concrete! Donut give a shit. Tired of keeping it in. Right bout now I need a friend. Someone to help me deal wit it all. Someone to build me high as the sky, hear my cries. I can't go on just slipping by. Who can understand? You wouldn't understand. Mom gets beat by a grown man. Get wasted. My hatred! [chorus] Beat ya like a drum. Ta show ya where I'm from. Beat ya like a motherfuckin drum. Ta show ya where I come from. Straight from the E-town concrete! Where the fuck did you come from, and what're you talking bout now? Suburban punk trying ta play the role, in love with something you don't know the first thing about. Street education from a movie. Wake up mothafucka, you can't move me.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”
