(Let it rock)
(Let it rock)
(Let it rock)

I see your dirty face, hide behind your collar
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God to justify the way
You live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well, you made your bed
I made mine

Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock

Now the son's disgraced, he who knew his father
When he cursed his name, turned and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart, so he stuck his middle finger
To the world, to the world, to the world
And you take your time
And you stand in line
Well, you'll get what's yours
I got mine

Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock

Yeah
Wayne's World, Planet Rock
Panties drop, and the tops
And she gon' rock 'til the camera stop
I sing about angels like Angela
(Rock) And Pamela
(Rock) And Samantha
(Rock) And Amanda
And Tamara, ménage à moi
I'm in here like, "Bitch, what's up?"
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can dick you up, I can dick you down
Shorty, we can go wherever, just pick a town
And my jewelry is louder than an engine sound
Big ass rocks like on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground
Weezy

Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Because when I arrive, I, I'll bring the fire
Make you come alive, I can take you higher
What this is, forgot, I must now remind you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Just let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Let it rock
Let it rock

I'm back like I forgot somethin', I'm somethin'
Rulin' rock rubbin' rap runnin'
Miles like it's tryna get a flat stomach
Like Wayne a personal trainer
My aim is perfect, I'll bang ya
Period, like the reminder

And I wish I could be as cruel as you
And I wish I could say the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No, not this time

    I see your dirty face High behind your collar When picking his apostles, Jesus didn't know who was going to betray him, although it was prophesied in Zechariah 11:12 about Jesus being betrayed for 30pcs of silver. However after observing his apostles, he figured it out. (John 13:2) Contrary to popular belief-the last supper only included 11 apostles, not 12. Jesus dismissed Judas and the convenant was with the 11 remaining faithful ones. (John 13:21-30)

    What is done in vain Truth is hard to swallow So you pray to God To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie Judas was greedy. His greed overtook him, like his father, (Behavior wise) Satan. He betrayed Jesus and now he knows that God is going to destroy him forever. That is very hard to swallow. Also the Pharisees and Saducees had to swallow it. That's why they didn't put the money in the temple treasury. It's blood money. They knew that Jesus was the Messiah because of their greed, they rejected him and had the people do so to. Furthermore, Judas tried to hang himself, but God caused the branch to break and died a horrible death. Too, the Saducees and Pharisees bought a field with that money-Potter's grave-to make things "right." They were living a lie. (Acts 1:18 and Matthew 27:5-7)

    And you take your time And you do your crime Well you made your bed I'm in mine Judas and the priests plotted and schemed in an effort to betray Jesus. Their bed is everlasting death, while Jesus is in Heaven.

    Because when I arrive I bring the fire Make you come alive I can take you higher What is this, forgot? (I believe this says, With the sins forgot) I must now remind you Let It Rock Let It Rock Let It Rock Jesus will return as King of God's Kingdom and those not living in harmony with God's will not reap their due. Those who are will reap an award. We all need reminding of this fact.

    Now the son's discrased He, who knew his father When he cursed his name Turned, and chased the dollar But it broke his heart So he stuck his middle finger To the world To the world To the world Deuteronomy 21:23 says, "Accursed is the one hanging on a stake." Jesus was disgraced because they said he blasphemed and misrepresenting who he actually was. Judas and the priests undoubtedly knew who Jesus was and still didn't repent of his of sins. Another common misconception is that Judas felt sorry that why he hung himself. He just felt remorse under the burden of guilt.

    I wish I could be As cool as you And I wish I could say The things you do But I can't and I won't live a lie No not this time This verse could be construed as sarcastic. He can't say and do the things that Lil' Wayne or the majority of this world is doing. He's standing out as a righteous one.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
