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.
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
Five fucking seconds from now
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
Too fucking late for that
They said my first cd
Was my best one
And that other shit
Was dissapointing at best
Me likes watching
It go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you
Put it that a way
They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
Was I ever good at this
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
Too fucking bad for you
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
Down to defy niggaz
And my double wide nigga's
Me likes watching it go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you
put it that a way
They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
Suicide
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
I wonder when it's gonna stop being fun for me
Five fucking seconds from now
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
I really need to quit before it all turns to shit
Too fucking late for that
They said my first cd
Was my best one
And that other shit
Was dissapointing at best
Me likes watching
It go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you
Put it that a way
They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
I wonder when I really stopped being good at this
Was I ever good at this
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
I know it's shit but it is something I will not admit
Too fucking bad for you
Down to defy nigga's
And my double wide nigga's
Down to defy niggaz
And my double wide nigga's
Me likes watching it go down in flames
Not my fault
I blame it on the industry
Rock my hole
Well since you

They were right
My shit is wack
My shit is wack
Down to defy nigga's

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.
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"
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

....just cauze itz live, dun mean that there aint other 'better' cough sitez that contain the lyricz....allz he said anywayz wuz that it wuznt on a cd you can purchase....or, he took notez, recorded the live version with some audio device, or sum shit....
..fuck it...
hey i like this site so feck off. there's just some morons that dont know what the fuck they're talking about or doing when they post lyrics. so FECK
damn stardust29 shouldnt be allowed to post any more lyrics cuz she SUCKS at it
I agree. If a couple words are fucked up, i think we can all live with it, but it's a huge bitch when someone only posts half a song, and that half is kinda screwed too. If you don't know, how about trying to leave it to someone who does?
It IS on a cd you can purchase -- Alienating Our Audience. It's a live album of unreleased tracks. I thought Nick jones clarified that with his first post.
ok you both are wrong its on the new CD, the CD has 6 tracks its called something like "Puerdos los ninos" and Synthetic Humans lyricsa are right for the most part "Down to defy niggaz And my double wide bitchz" <-- bitchz is supposed to be niggaz [its a hard song to hear tho]
"I wonder when I'm gonna stop bein so damn gay"? I think Stardust29 is just tryin to make fun of MSI
