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.
Bubble gum, brainiac, baby girl,
Ultra brat, angst schmangst no thanks.
Hope my record doesn't tank, sailor moon, rainbow brite,
Anime, avril life, protools all the way
Hey, hey, hey.
[Chorus:]
Don't try to label my hypocrite cause I will do what I want to.
Some will say that I'm counterfeit but I will be who I want to.
Candy floss, antipop, star search, lolipop, mannufactured skate punk,
Wannabe, never was, nerd, geek, superfreak, I'm a movie of the week, dadys girl,
Teachers pet (yeah,yeah,yeah!)
[Chorus]
Don't try to lable me hypocrite
I will do what I want to
[Chorus]
Some will look at me and vomit but I will look how I want to.
Some will hear me and not get it but I will say what I want to.
Don't try to label me hypocrite
I will do what I want to
Ultra brat, angst schmangst no thanks.
Hope my record doesn't tank, sailor moon, rainbow brite,
Anime, avril life, protools all the way
Hey, hey, hey.
[Chorus:]
Don't try to label my hypocrite cause I will do what I want to.
Some will say that I'm counterfeit but I will be who I want to.
Candy floss, antipop, star search, lolipop, mannufactured skate punk,
Wannabe, never was, nerd, geek, superfreak, I'm a movie of the week, dadys girl,
Teachers pet (yeah,yeah,yeah!)
[Chorus]
Don't try to lable me hypocrite
I will do what I want to
[Chorus]
Some will look at me and vomit but I will look how I want to.
Some will hear me and not get it but I will say what I want to.
Don't try to label me hypocrite

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I like this song off of Skye's album. She's always being called a hypocrite and junk so this was great for her album. IT definately explains why shes not a hypocrite and that no matter what everyone says shes just gonna do her thing. awesomeness.
