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 am complete!
Fuck!
Yes you are fucked, shit out of luck
Now I'm complete and my cock you will suck
This world will be mine and you're first in line
You brought me the pick and now you shall both die!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
You motherfucker
We challenge you to a rock off!
Give us one chance to rock your socks off
Fuck, fuck, fuck
The demon code prevents me
From declining a rock off challenge
What are your terms? What's the catch?
If we win, you must take your sorry ass back to hell.
And also you will have to pay our rent.
And what if I win?
Then you can take Kage back to hell...
What?
Trust me Kage, it's the only way,
What the fuck are you talking about?
To be your little bitch.
Fine! Let the rock off begin! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I'm the devil, I love metal!
Check this riff, it's fucking tasty
I'm the devil, I can do what I want,
Whatever I got I'm gonna flaunt,
There's never been a rock off that I've ever lost
I can't wait to take Kage back to hell
I'm gonna fill him with my hot demon gel
I'll make him squeal like my scarlet pimpernel
No!
C'mon Kage, bring the thunder.
There's just no way that we can win,
That was a masterpiece.
Listen to me
He rocks too hard because he's not a mortal man
Goddamn-it Kage,
He gonna make you his sex slave,
You're gonna gargle mayonnaise
No
Unless we bust a massive monster mammoth jam.
Dude, we've been through so much shit,
Deactivated lasers with my dick
Now it's time to blow this fucker down!
C'mon Kage, now it's time to blow doors down
I hear you Jables, now it's time to blow doors down
Light up the stage 'cause it's time for a showdown
We'll bend you over then we'll take you to Brown Town
Now we've got to blow this fucker down
He's gonna rape me if we do not blow doors down
C'mon Kage 'cause it's time to blow doors down
Oh, we'll piledrive you, it's time for the smackdown
Hey anti-christ-er, Beelzeboss,
We know your weakness our rocket-sauce
We rock the casbah, and blow your mind
We will defeat you for all mankind
You hold the scepter,
We hold the key
You are the devil,
We are the D [18x]
You guys are fuckin' lame.
Come on Kage, you're coming with me.
Taste my lightning, fucker!
No!
Ow! Fuck!
My fuckin' horn!
Oh no!
From whence you came you shall remain,
Until you are complete again
No!
Fuck you Kage and fuck you Jables!
I'll get you Tenacious D!
Fuck!
Yes you are fucked, shit out of luck
Now I'm complete and my cock you will suck
This world will be mine and you're first in line
You brought me the pick and now you shall both die!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
You motherfucker
We challenge you to a rock off!
Give us one chance to rock your socks off

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
no its actually
"Well piledrive you, its time for the smackdown."
