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.
Let me tell you about this girl I know
Molly makeout whoa oh oh
Up and down it's rising action
Molly makeout satisfaction
Easy to please
Get on your knees
You're wasting time
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
She was lost but now she's found
I'll tell you what she's thinking now
She thinks she's got all the power
South on 95 two hours
Maybe she's not worth the drive
But Molly makes me come alive
So easy to please
Get on your knees
You're wasting time
Yeah you're begging for this
But you're not oh you're not getting much further tonight
This is why they call her
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
Molly makeout you lie too much
Said your lips no boy could touch
If making outs just what you do
Then molly makeouts the girl for you
Every night you take off that dress
Where you've been is anyones guess
The truth is that I just dont care
As my hands run through your hair
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
Every night you take off that dress
Where you've been is anyones guess
Making out is just what you do
Molly might makeout with you
Molly makeout whoa oh oh
Up and down it's rising action
Molly makeout satisfaction
Easy to please
Get on your knees
You're wasting time
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
She was lost but now she's found
I'll tell you what she's thinking now
She thinks she's got all the power
South on 95 two hours
Maybe she's not worth the drive
But Molly makes me come alive
So easy to please
Get on your knees
You're wasting time
Yeah you're begging for this
But you're not oh you're not getting much further tonight
This is why they call her
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
Molly makeout you lie too much
Said your lips no boy could touch
If making outs just what you do
Then molly makeouts the girl for you
Every night you take off that dress
Where you've been is anyones guess
The truth is that I just dont care
As my hands run through your hair
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do
Molly might makeout with you
Molly Molly makeout
Any time
Any guy oh oh
Just watch your back
You won't know what to do

Every night you take off that dress
Where you've been is anyones guess
Making out is just what you do
Molly might makeout with you

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"
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Well in terms of the meaning, i think everyone pretty much gets this straight on. Its about a girl who is essentially a huge tease, because she wil make-out with almost anyone, but then wont let them much further.
HOWEVER. i really dont like the new OTDE version, because the added lyrics about molly taking off her dress and the fact that he doesn't care lead us to believe that she actually dos do more than makeout.... plus i just liked the sound of the old version better :(
