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.
We watch this blackness eat away the cold blue sky
Terrified, this is our last goodbye
The dead will walk the streets tonight
In my nightmare, we never last this night
So fill your lungs this one last time
Before I wake up to nothing
Alone in the dark
Listen, you almost hear my laughing
Watching as the world ends
Lying in this six foot grave
So fill your lungs this one last time
In my nightmare there is no place to hide
This plague will take on everyone
Even the sunrise won't save us from night's fateful cry
Listen, you almost hear my laughing
Watching as the world ends
Never thought it'd end this way
Lightning, graveyard burning bright now
Watching as the world ends
Lying in this six foot grave
There's vacant space
There's nothing left but my nightmares
Ask you to stay, but its dead here
There's nothing left but my nightmares
Ask you to stay, but its dead here
Listen, you almost hear my laughing
Watching as the world ends
Never thought it'd end this way
Lightning, graveyard burning bright now
Watching as the world ends
Lying in this six foot grave
There's vacant space
Watch me laugh as the world dies
Watch me laugh as the world dies
Watch me laugh as the world dies
Terrified, this is our last goodbye
The dead will walk the streets tonight
In my nightmare, we never last this night
So fill your lungs this one last time
Before I wake up to nothing
Alone in the dark
Listen, you almost hear my laughing
Watching as the world ends
Lying in this six foot grave
So fill your lungs this one last time
In my nightmare there is no place to hide
This plague will take on everyone
Even the sunrise won't save us from night's fateful cry
Listen, you almost hear my laughing
Watching as the world ends
Never thought it'd end this way
Lightning, graveyard burning bright now
Watching as the world ends
Lying in this six foot grave
There's vacant space
There's nothing left but my nightmares
Ask you to stay, but its dead here
There's nothing left but my nightmares
Ask you to stay, but its dead here
Listen, you almost hear my laughing
Watching as the world ends
Never thought it'd end this way
Lightning, graveyard burning bright now
Watching as the world ends
Lying in this six foot grave
There's vacant space
Watch me laugh as the world dies
Watch me laugh as the world dies
Watch me laugh as the world dies

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
