Ne m'laisse pas comme ça à la merci d'leurs yeux goguenards
À traquer des blattes sur des parois illusoires
Enfonce tes punaises dans les affolements de ma crise
Et tous les grands crics qui me croquent la matière grise

Ca sniffe la mort à plein nez, j't'en lèche les babines
À honorer le confinement d'une mezzanine
Qui petit à p'tit se transforme en boîte à chaussures
Dès qu'elle s'ouvre on s'casse sur les ailes d'une libellule

Ne m'laisse pas ne pas m'endormir sans faire le vide
Ou alors reste éveillée, reste avec moi
Ne m'laisse pas avec ce froid dans le dos rigide
Ou alors fais comme moi, ne respire pas.

Ce sont les moutons qui me comptent sauter les barrières
Et le marchand de sable qui passe... la marche-arrière
L'histoire du p'tit garçon qui voulait une histoire
"L'histoire du p'tit garçon qui voulait une histoire..."

Ne m'laisse pas ne pas m'endormir sans faire le vide
Ou alors reste éveillée, reste avec moi
Ne m'laisse pas avec ce froid dans le dos rigide
Ou alors fais comme moi, ne respire pas.

Ca shoote dans les colonnes de mon palais vertébral
C'est vertigineux de te voir à l'horizontale
La Berlue en italique, les caprices c'est pas fini
Comme cette étoile qui par un "chut" nous rétrécit

Ne m'laisse pas ne pas m'endormir sans faire le vide
Ou alors reste éveillée, reste avec moi
Ne m'laisse pas avec ce froid dans le dos rigide
Ou alors fais comme moi, ne respire pas.

Assieds-toi sur un banc et cesse de rire jaune
Ca m'aidera toujours à colmater ma couche d'ozone
De ton plafond les arachnées m'ont vu t'épier
Et dans tes yeux se sont aperçues que je flippais

Alors fais comme moi ne respire pas
Fais comme moi ne respire pas

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Fast Car
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.
