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.
They call her bulldozer speech demon
Without distractions of hope she makes
The depression business look surprisingly novel
And she's not just royal, allegedly loyal
Kind of faithful, but she has no faith in me
Inhale the damage smoothly; Paradise isn't lost, it was hiding all along
[Chorus:]
There's the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you cum
The ones that make you come unglued, yeah
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Bottomless celebrity scar, staged circuses for schoolgirls
Boys are all dressed up like a mediocre suicide omen
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again, oh man
[Chorus]
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
[Chorus x 2]
It's easy to beat the system
Had a hard time beating the symptoms
Had a hard time beating the symptoms
I can't turn my back on you, can't turn my back on you
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again, oh man
Without distractions of hope she makes
The depression business look surprisingly novel
And she's not just royal, allegedly loyal
Kind of faithful, but she has no faith in me
Inhale the damage smoothly; Paradise isn't lost, it was hiding all along
[Chorus:]
There's the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you cum
The ones that make you come unglued, yeah
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Bottomless celebrity scar, staged circuses for schoolgirls
Boys are all dressed up like a mediocre suicide omen
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again, oh man
[Chorus]
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
[Chorus x 2]
It's easy to beat the system
Had a hard time beating the symptoms
Had a hard time beating the symptoms
I can't turn my back on you, can't turn my back on you
I can't turn my back on you when you're walking away
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again
Here comes the red carpet grave again, and again, and again, oh man

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
To come unglued means to get all emotionally unstable and crazy, so I'm guessing the line is referring to people that make you lose control of yourself.
"Not unfaithful but she has no faith in me"- Definately about Dita. She has said the she didn't support him in some of his activities. I think he feels she betrayed him.
Yeah, this one is definitely about Dita. I guess this is his plea as to why he went with Evan Rachel Wood. It's crazy considering how long him and Dita were together before they got married, then they couldn't even last a year with the title.
what does "bulldozer" mean?
what does "bulldozer" mean?
a bulldozer is the big truck with a cyllender that flattens people, i mean stuff... usually used in construction it sometimes co-stars in violent cartoons that america is trying to make PC
and yeah the song is about Dita, it makes me kindof want to give him a hug and say something comforting, the big sap that i am
hahh, " the ones that make you cum" sounds better.
I love this music... There's just a line that i cant understand:
What means 'the ones that make you come unglued'?
And sorry for the second post, but this is such a great song. One of my favorites off of Eat Me, Drink Me.
Definitely about an ex of some sort. In Manson's case, it's probably Dita.
One of my favorites too.
Thanks Glass_Hammer :)
