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.
Rollin' my home grown
Smokin' a big bone
Look at that ganja covered with oil
Usein my tweezers
Got pot in the freezer
Made a new pipe out of aluminum foil.
Wasted awat again in Marijuanaville
Searchin' for my roach clip on a rope
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But i know, that its all this damn dope.
Dont know the reason
Stayed here all season
Maybe that tie stick was a way bit to strong
But I got a real beauty
A columbian doobie
And soon ill be up on my way along
Wasted away again in Marijuanaville
Searchin' for my roach clip on a rope
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But i know, that its all this damn dope.
I blew out my bong pipe
Ran out of Bud Lite
But I found some stash i had hidden at home
Put it into a blender
And soon it will render
These little fudge brownies that help me get stoned
Wasted awat again in Marijuanaville
Searchin' for my roach clip on a rope
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But i know, that its all this damn dope.
I say Some people claim I sound like Dylyan when im stoned
But I know that its all this damn dope.
Smokin' a big bone
Look at that ganja covered with oil
Usein my tweezers
Got pot in the freezer
Made a new pipe out of aluminum foil.
Wasted awat again in Marijuanaville
Searchin' for my roach clip on a rope
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But i know, that its all this damn dope.
Dont know the reason
Stayed here all season
Maybe that tie stick was a way bit to strong
But I got a real beauty
A columbian doobie
And soon ill be up on my way along
Wasted away again in Marijuanaville
Searchin' for my roach clip on a rope
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But i know, that its all this damn dope.
I blew out my bong pipe
Ran out of Bud Lite
But I found some stash i had hidden at home
Put it into a blender
And soon it will render
These little fudge brownies that help me get stoned
Wasted awat again in Marijuanaville
Searchin' for my roach clip on a rope
Some people claim that theres a woman to blame
But i know, that its all this damn dope.
I say Some people claim I sound like Dylyan when im stoned
But I know that its all this damn dope.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
this is acctually insane clown posse believe it or not
