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.
"Hey man, who's that cat coming down the stairs?
I don't know, but it sounds to me like that business man with the bone.
Sure has himself a ball!"
- Hello?
Oi Six, What are ya doin'?
- Ah, just Facebook man.
Yeah, right. What are ya doin' tonight?
- Just Facebook man.
Mmmmm. So... Should come out Saturday, it's gunna be sick!

- Jus' probably Facebook man.
*laughs*
Yo, I'm a motherfuckin' Facebook Fiend.
Fuck MySpace, it's FB
So if you want someone to talk to befriend me.
Yo, I got 4000 friends but i'm out for more,
And I won't stop until I get another thousand more.
I deleted one girl, she had a duck face
And this awkward lean that made me wanna smash and chuck plates.
I had to block this angry nutcase (Why?)
That's because your status updates are whack as fuck mate!
Why you do that tag?
If you tag me in a pic that ain't mine
then I remove that tag, gone!
If you know people to add, go and SMS 'em,
'Cause I find this is the best way to get attention.
I don't care about the clubs and events you sendin'
I just care about the friends that you recommendin'
Yo, I wanna sit there all day friend requestin'
And if they ask why, I blame it on my friend suggestions
"Dear Veronica,
Thankyou for accepting my add.
No. I don't know you, but you look pretty cute ey.
If you're from Melbourne, I was just wondering if you'd like to get together
and have a lime milkshake with me one time?
Cheers babe"
Yo'
I know there's others out there that wanna co-sign this,
Now we lucky that we got it on our mobiles, Sick!
You can see me in some pictures
but I don't smile bitch.
And I always give the finger in my profile pics.
Yeah,
And that's a fact unless i'm takin' a Ab-shot.
And i'm a screamer, i'm always writin' in Caps-Lock.
And I'm a nerd in real life but i'm thuggin' on my laptop
So if you wanna fight I got my Gat cocked.
I've got pictures of the bling that I wanna score
And I've got pictures of the rims on my Commodore.
And fuck with me, and you will see your funeral, BLAT!
Check my arms out - Times Roman Numerals tats.
When it comes to hair,
I only rock tips.
I got 'em done in Year Eight
And they've been blond since.
I know you wanna be motivational yo' but,
Fuck you and you're inspirational quotes bitch.
"Hey Babe,
I'm selfish, impatient, a little insecure, I make mistakes,
I'm out of control and at times hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst,
you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
Get fucked.
I do not agree!
Yo,
To all my friends out there,
yo' I'd like you to know this,
Whether Online or Offline,
I don't like to be poked kids!
But now i'm searching just to find me a hoe,
but you ain't Kylie Minogue so why you striking a pose?
Shit
She's hot!
I wanna date that chick!
But she got Emo statuses,
I fuckin' hate that shit! (Fuck!)
And let's be honest,
that's a dumb look, thankyou
And all your pics are taken from an upwards angle.
Listen,
If we can tell you've got a huge head now,
any time you meet a guy then it's a huge let-down.
You're hiding and you'll find that you're lying or denying it as well I can tell
So you're lying to yourself.
Yo, I know you like to upload pics,
But we wanna see you smiling from the front though bitch.
If there's one thing I learnt off MySpace,
It's to never have a blind date with a girl who always likes to hide her face!
"Excuse me, are you Matt?"
"Um, Nup. Nah.
Not me babe."
I don't know, but it sounds to me like that business man with the bone.
Sure has himself a ball!"

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"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Funny song. I had wondered if/when there would be songs about the social networking site. Just love the recent commercials on TV that show parents out having fun while their daughter/son complain that the parents are boring (all the while she's sitting at home 'playing' on Facebook). I am addicted to FB but only due to the reconnection with ol' friends from high school and college. And it's wonderful to laugh daily due to the many fun personalities of people who helped share ones childhood/life.
I think that the song was written about the positives and negatives of 'Facebook'. 60 mentions frequently about such phenomenon like 'Selfies' and 'Duck faces'
It is a sick song and i think its pretty much saying facebook is awesome apart from a few phases from its users.
