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.
Party's over
I just watched my girlfriend get laid on the sofa
Does that seem weird to you?
The guy was older
Heard someone say he got her clothes off playing poker
When I wasn't in the room
Can I assume this spells the end for me and you?
Morning after
I go outside and the garden's a disaster
The kitchen table's in the pool
The sound of laughter
Echoes on inside my mind, holes in the plaster
And I feel like such a tool
And so abused, don't think I've ever felt this used
And goodbye
Feels so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys, the party's over
It's complicated
Stranded at first base I never saw her naked
Now I'll never get a chance
I'm aggravated
When I think of all the precious time I've wasted
On another dead romance
The days go by, they fade away and so do I
And goodbye
Feels so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys, the party's over
And I can't get over
Face the fact, it's over
I don't know why I even try
It's so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys, the party's over
It takes a while to realise
Funny how the feeling dies
Don't wanna hear your alibis
For something you can't justify
There's nothing here for me to say
It's not for me to save the day
The lights are on so go away
I just watched my girlfriend get laid on the sofa
Does that seem weird to you?
The guy was older
Heard someone say he got her clothes off playing poker
When I wasn't in the room
Can I assume this spells the end for me and you?
Morning after
I go outside and the garden's a disaster
The kitchen table's in the pool
The sound of laughter
Echoes on inside my mind, holes in the plaster
And I feel like such a tool
And so abused, don't think I've ever felt this used
And goodbye
Feels so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys, the party's over
It's complicated
Stranded at first base I never saw her naked
Now I'll never get a chance
I'm aggravated
When I think of all the precious time I've wasted
On another dead romance
The days go by, they fade away and so do I
And goodbye
Feels so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys, the party's over
And I can't get over
Face the fact, it's over
I don't know why I even try
It's so sore
My relationship's over
I'm lost without a cause
I wonder why
She strung me up and left me hanging out to dry
Tell the guys, the party's over
It takes a while to realise

For something you can't justify
There's nothing here for me to say
It's not for me to save the day
The lights are on so go away

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.
