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.
It's so hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world
Let's do this
C'mon, let's fuck it up
Slash gash terror what?
Slash gash terror who?
Slash gash party crew
You know how we fucking do
Pull over, that ass is so phat
You makin' me clap
I don't know how to act
Yo, yo, call the doctor
You make my heart stop
Bum bump bum bump drop
I do it in the front
i do it in the back
Shake it down like that
Make that booty go clap
Can't knock it, I'm profit
Excuse me?
I got paper to chase
I got money to make
It's so hard to be a diamond in a rhiestone world
You got my heart and it's beating for a girl
Will throw it up,
Will throw it up,
Go ahead and party it up
Go ahead and party it up
It's so hard to be a diamond in a rhiestone world
You got my heart and it's beating for a girl
Squish squish on your chest
Rub those titties, super breast
Knick knack patty whack
Give a boy a heart attack
Ah, ah, lost my breath
Ultra sex, you're the best
Move your feet, feel the heat
Burning down this fascist street
I'm packing, I'm stackin'
Some rated X action
Strawberry whip cream
We can be sweet team
Bang bang choo choo train
Show me how you work that thing
I don't step, I strut
Turn that music blast up up up up
It's so hard to be a diamond in a rhiestone world
You got my heart and it's beating for a girl
Will throw it up,
Will throw it up,
Go ahead and party it up
Go ahead and party it up
It's so hard to be a diamond in a rhiestone world
You got my heart and it's beating for a girl (x2)
It's so hard (x4)
STFU, gotta grove
Gotta bust my move
This is how we do
In the Slash Gash Terror Crew
It's so hard to be a diamond in a rhiestone world
You got my heart and it's beating for a girl
Will throw it up,
Will throw it up,
Go ahead and party it up
Go ahead and party it up
It's so hard to be a diamond in a rhiestone world
You got my heart and it's beating for a girl
Let's do this
C'mon, let's fuck it up

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
