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'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life you can find me postin on my porch
Tokin my pipe-I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see some people gave in but I ain't
Given up the fight I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life find me old postin on my porch
Tokin on my pipe I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see I'm in love with Mary Jane I'm
Gonna make her my wife
Sometimes I want to get high travel up away to the beautiful skies
Float away and hope to never come down hope to see the day that I never come down
But what goes up is always bound to fall
I'll I'm trying to say is that I live my life raw
I'm gonna smoke week the rest of my life and give all I got till the day that I die.
Ya!
I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life you can find me postin on my porch tokin my
Pipe-I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see some people gave in but I ain't given up
The fight I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life find me old postin on my porch tokin on
My pipe I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see I'm in love with Mary Jane I'm gonna
Make her my wife
When I look in the mirror I feel so low
I see my eyes and I feel the glow
I know I can make do let's bless the sole
Show my love and let myself go wow
Everybody knows that I spit these flows and I drink my beer smoke my weed
But my head's in the clear
Show your love respect the one your dreaming of.
I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life you can find me postin on my porch tokin my
Pipe-I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see some people gave in but I ain't given up
The fight I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life find me old postin on my porch tokin on
My pipe I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see I'm in love with Mary Jane I'm gonna
Make her my wife
Let us plant trees that bear positive fruits that enlighten our minds to the deepest roots all
The way to the core where the soul can stay true – where I can walk free with a joint in my hand
And I can plant plants right upon my land help em' understand these are natures laws my creator
Had visions in the things he saw yeah – he saw – yeah my creator had visions in the things he
Saw yeah…
I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life you can find me postin on my porch tokin my
Pipe-I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see some people gave in but I ain't given up
The fight I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life find me old postin on my porch tokin on
My pipe I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see I'm in love with Mary Jane I'm gonna
Make her my wife
Now when the love is lost and your spirits are low
The world's closing in around you got no place to go
Done all that you could to ease and please another soul
And in the end you're in the cold, another sad story told
That's why I make my own decisions on how I'm liven
Try to get by with the knowledge that I'm given
Can't make me believe cause a tree is a tree
And when my soul bleeds, the color that I'm spillin' is green
I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life you can find me postin on my porch tokin my
Pipe-I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see some people gave in but I ain't given up
The fight I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life find me old postin on my porch tokin on
My pipe I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life see I'm in love with Mary Jane I'm gonna
Make her my wife

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
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.
first comment huh, well i gotta say even if you don\'t smoke weed (i have had my past experiences lol) this just has the \'feeling good\' vibe that is great when you\'re happy or chillin\' with buddies or...well smoking but I personally think the song goes on too long
