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.
(Twista)
yes yes ya'll
it's the Twista in the house
over another trax production
normally I would kick somethin about the ladies
but I'm gonna kick somethin to my niggas
cuz we roll B's together stack cheese together
(Twista)
all afternoon them shorties workin the tip causin havoc on the spot
bringin much static on the block
half sacks cuz money makin is the magic of them rocks
try to make em uncock the glock but the weapon is protection shit
you know they hurtin in my section
yet a hustle gets depressing laws on the streets holla at the chief
and still can't get a blessing
they smokin wicked in the hood
plus the people is gettin blowed itching to come at ya stash
run up with the strap so fast
you gone they be already gone cuz they coming at ya ass
trippin when the pistol tap ya glass
and when they get drama they gotta call up some holsta's
but you know my homies quicker on the chrome
and if it's on it's on then my mobsta's go nuts
to the rhythm of a slow cut
let me ask you a question "Is it safe where you got your sacks?"
it's only one got two packs a case of static in the streets them niggas got ya
back
some real ass homies you can roll with
so when the phony ones come at you they be ready for the thuggin
slug huggin heat em up like an oven hang tight everynight
drinkin down cuz a cousins
(chorus)
cuz ya'll roll up with me everytime it's on
cuz its straight shady niggas around my hood
bless me with the sess so we can trip off on what I'm smokin on
cuz ya'll my nugz
roll with each other till the day we die
rather shakin up work handing out tips ain't no lie
be quick to get stunged the gun trying to take all of our goods
cuz ya'll my nugz
ya'll roll up with me everytime it's on
cuz these straight shady niggas around my hood
bless me with the sess so we can trip off on what I'm smokin on
cuz ya'll my nugz
roll with each other till the day we die
rather shakin up work handing out tips ain't no lie
be quick to get stunged the gun trying to take all of our goods
cuz ya'll my nugz
(Twista)
I juss wanted to take some time out to say thanks to the nugz
hit the dank cuz it's good
and when it come thank help me from saving me from gettin ganked in the hood
anythang for ya'll
I know there's times where it be hurting where one of hit the lick us breakin

acting janky if we making some cheese
cuz we ride stick petty and smoke shit
find a lame to toke with
we ain't never quick to come up on now yet run up on whether she wanna go home
and roam
we smokin top down till the summer gone
rollin up swishers and gunnin on
straight up chillin with my homies go hit the liquor store
we gotta swishes get some mo
saving em so we can blaze em and kick it where the thick hoes go
my homies is the reason fo
it took me some time but I gotta show my nugz I ain't no hoe
they can depend on me if someone's fist throwin knuckles and sticks
plus I'll go get the fo fo
you already know Joe cuz if we fall while we runnin from the po-po Ima pick you

and try my best not to never let a mothafucka stick you up

@[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.
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.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
