I, Common, IiI, common
I, Common, IiI, common
I, Common, IiI, common
I, Common, IiI, common

I'm writing in my book
Wit a simple pleasure
Or is it necessary
Just to document this measure of time
Whether defined or not
I'm gonna find the top
Of my personal climbing rock
Take a verse of what I'm about
Break it down
I just rhyme about den
And da secrets I'm finding out
And dats alright ain't it
Look how bright I painted experience
Gain it, maintain it
Same heinous crimes Of Sam Hein
They won't wane
Eh pay the fine
And sometime I campaign
Champagne and Rap
You're bottling flat dude
Forget all that
It's concentrate on the great
We gonna do this
Tough like Buddhist
Who this fool sitting in big chairs
Spot light blew it up
Smooth as cup of Caffeine
Chapters got snatched up by Napster
Jimmy Caster
Use to get wasted away like Jimmy Buffet
And I'm dam sure
It wasn't cool
Now I ain't buzzin fool
Like That
Light that Rit
Bite that bottom lip
I gotta be a somebody
Even if you gotta trip

We are floating in the sky
Here today and gone by Niiiii
We all try but don't know why
There's no answers it's all life. Life
It's the Magnitude
Life, life (I common IiI common)
It's the Magnitude
Life, life (I common IiI common)

It's truly just me in this
No one seeing dis
Pitted against the grain
For the whole world domain
Don't tell me that I put too much music out
Look at them jazz fools
This is jazz too
This is black music
No crack, no gat, no lack of compassion
Fools get zooted too much
I can't do much to change there minds
I guess I can't influence
I'm just tryin to unwind
Find a line of attack, with tact
Cracked the coffee
They crack whatever like
Genetic Codes to make robots with controlled souls
That's not new news
You've seen the weirdness
Moka is a Scorpio
Climbing through the clearing
In the woods on the hill top
Breathing pine scented
Someone gotta take the next step
So I invented
You, turn around say I'm demented
Cause no one else is doing it
But I'm a free soul
And you resent it

We are floating in the sky
Here today and gone by night
We all try but don't know why
There's no answers it's all life
It's the Magnitude
Life, life (Ya, I common IiI common)
It's the Magnitude
Life, life (Ya, I common IiI common)
It's the Magnitude
Life (Ya, I common IiI common)
It's the Magnitude
Life (Ya, I common IiI common)
It's the Magnitude
Life (Ya, I common IiI common)

Crack the can of worms
Free flow the ink
In a matter of minutes
So I don't lose my think
Burnt brain cells
From previous years of abuse
Keep my last few close
To avoid the news
Watching Bruce Willis on a Blockbuster night
That's me
To taxi to wax spots
Where ya ass be
Ask me
To rhyme witcha
I may, just be fresh for god's sake
That I'm slipping off to a lake
Do I make any of you
Feel Exhiliration?
If so that's my purpose
To thrill the nation
Not to big, just grand enough
With mad distribution
And women need to start the substitution
Get rid of that wack shit
We got the substance girl
DM, I'm above this world
One Man outfit, producer, MC, composer
Already traveled millions of miles
On this coaster

We are floatin' in the sky
Here today and gone by night
We all try but don't know why
Deres no answers its all life
We are floatin' in the sky
Here today and gone by night
We all try but don't know why
There's no answers its all life
It's the magnitude
Life
It's the magnitude
Life
Ya, ya, ya
Life
Ya, ya, ya
Life
Ya, ya, ya
Life
Ya, ya, ya
Life
Ya, ya, ya
Life
A yigi, yigi, yigi
Life

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.

Silent Planet
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
