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.
So goddamn easy to write this
You make it spill on the page
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
A laughing stock of your own fucking stage
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
Just one time you got a reason
Heard you had nothing to lose
A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation
It must be easy to lose
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' imitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
Ya' try me
Just one time (ya' try me)
Just one time (ya' try me)
Ya' try me
You make it spill on the page
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
A laughing stock of your own fucking stage
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
Just one time you got a reason
Heard you had nothing to lose
A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation
It must be easy to lose
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' imitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
Ya' try me
Just one time (ya' try me)
Just one time (ya' try me)
Ya' try me

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Little Feat
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”
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.
ANyone could stomp randy. Have you seen him fight in the Killadelphia DVD? MArkl knocks him out lmao.
Anwyay, Phil is an absolute cunt. I'm glad that son of a bitch wasn't allowed to grace the mighty Dimebag Darrels funeral after all the shit he stirred up about him. Sure, he is a legend in metal, both Phil and Dime are. But he is an absolute cunt for what he did and I hope he never returns to music again.
