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.
My car is a PIECE OF SHIT!
I want to drive you off a cliff
Watch you crash into a ravine
For the things you did to me,
You STUPID CAR!
I want to make myself a pipe bomb
Blow your damn engine back to Hell
Where I know you're from
PIECE of CRAP!
You aren't even worth the tow
To a Junkyard or a place
Where you'd sit and lay to waste
I WISH YOU'D DIE
Oh nevermind, you always do
Can you tell me how much longer
It will be until I'm ridden of you?
I wish that you would just get hit by lightening, or something
My confidence in you is sold with every part I buy
I guess I'm just a sucker with a lemon
So pucker up and kiss another paycheck goodbye
You leak more than a newborn baby
I change your oil all the time, but still you need some more
Their fluid puddles come in assorted colors
Such wonderful variety of problems galore
Will there be a time where I know I can drive
Without my car breaking down?
And will I ever see it start consistently
Without the pain and the suffering?
Stupid fucking car, stupid fucking car! (Die)
Stupid fucking car, stupid fucking car! (Die!)
Stupid fucking car, stupid fucking car! (DIE!)
My car is a PIECE OF SHIT!
I ought to give you a swift kick
In the muffler, in the tire
Or wherever I desire
You STUPID CAR!
You never get me very far
When you decide driving to the store is a mortal sin
PIECE OF CRAP!
I Guess you want a piece of me
Since you're leaving all your pieces
In the middle of the street
You HEAP OF JUNK!
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I just hope that I don't have to take another day of driving you
I swear you must be older than my grandma, and shes dead
The fact you run at all is quite a mystery to me
Your miles are approaching seven digits
May God have mercy on the soul that's holding the key
I guess I'm just a little angry
But for some reason, getting stranded chaps kinda my hide
You probably think I'm slightly overreacting
Has your car ever made you think about suicide?
Will there be a time where I know I can drive
Without my car breaking down?
And will I ever see it start consistently
Without the pain and the suffering?
What the?
Come on...
Give me a break!
Ahh... (car starts, dies)
Alright... you piece of shit!
Stupid car...
(Screams, glass breaks)
DIE!!! Fuckin... (Screams)
I want to drive you off a cliff
Watch you crash into a ravine
For the things you did to me,
You STUPID CAR!
I want to make myself a pipe bomb
Blow your damn engine back to Hell
Where I know you're from
PIECE of CRAP!
You aren't even worth the tow
To a Junkyard or a place
Where you'd sit and lay to waste
I WISH YOU'D DIE
Oh nevermind, you always do

Their fluid puddles come in assorted colors
Such wonderful variety of problems galore

And will I ever see it start consistently

Stupid fucking car, stupid fucking car! (Die!)
Stupid fucking car, stupid fucking car! (DIE!)

The Night We Met

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"

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
somehow i think stubby the pirate was joking... i could be wrong cuz there's ignorant people on here like the person who thought the song "BEER!" was about Bush and Iraq...
I just posted Prozak Milkshake, along with Orgasm equals Love and Jagermeister Love Song.. They should be on here soon... if not go to purevolume.com/psychostick and get the lyrics there..
