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.
Baby, if you're ready
I can give you what you looking for
I guarantee once you stay with me you'll want no more
And baby, if you want it
You can get it once we close the door (ooh)
You know it's something 'bout rolling wit' a G like you
Khaki's, French braids wrapped up, all keepin' it true
In the G, yes, when you see us, we on dub
Any BS that wanna see us, get domed up
A-team's on the hang like you bang for years
Main bitch and I ain't switch, bring 'em to tears
High pitch, like Eddie Kendricks when you hit an appendix
His and her's semi's regulate the problems we finish (what? What?)
Taught me how to grind, separate my nickels from dubs
G wit' it when you winning, so I'm showing you love
Had to check a broad yesterday for grilling you down
Shut it down quick 'cause me still wanna see these rounds
Any beef you got, trust we gon' eat it together
Hold it down in the hood while I get this cheddar
Whether it's all grits or gravy, yo, we ready to tangle
It's all G-heavenly, so you labeling me your angel
Baby, if you're ready
I can give you what you looking for
I guarantee once you stay with me you'll want no more
And baby, if you want it
You can get it once we close the door (ooh)
You know you chose the best when you singled me out
I got these cats at close range, I'm contagious to these lames
We broke game, it's time to kill game, I feel your pain
They wanna stretch you for some change
Never worry boo, I'm not gon' change
It's gon' still feel the same
Besides you said you done with with them games
It ain't no love loss
I hollered that you know you're in, that's leadin' the cause
Boss bitch, and I can put that on the cross
I'ma bang for you, and we gon' pull through
So when they release you from them bars
We gon' look up at the stars, notice the hood stars
They moving inside us, to get us it's gotta meant war
And as for them broads, you know the rules
It ain't a chicken alive that can walk in my shoes
I payed dues, they see the Bentley pull up, brand new
What the fuck? They better get on the bus
Remember the dreams about the house up on the hill
Spinning the bottle, quarter mil' (quarter mil')
Baby, if you're ready
I can give you what you looking for
I guarantee once you stay with me you'll want no more
And baby, if you want it
You can get it once we close the door (ooh)
I got a fetish for thugs, rugged with mean mugs
When he lonely, he phone me to please 'em
Jeans saggin', foot size twelve, like "oh, damn"
As he unclothed my mind froze, like "oh, man"
Underestimated, but so what, it's just a faded
Call it how I see it, shoot the game, I'm tryin' to play it
So into you and your Davison House shoes
To flip a yay and choppin' bricks
It figures beyond six
In and out, incarcerated, departed and used to hate it
He couldn't wait 'til you hit the gates to get activists ready
Your type is what I'm diggin', gossip heard, obsolete
Plans occurred on the sneak, swing surperb and unique
Keep it pimpin' and tight, addicted like all night
Eight inches, six pack, dig that, it's alright
That G or a that X burn like opium
He's a straight trophy, and grip tight, I'm holding on (ohh)
Baby, if you're ready
I can give you what you looking for
I guarantee once you stay with me you'll want no more
And baby, if you want it
You can get it once we close the door (ooh)
Here's another one, yeah
Doggy's Angels
And this is a Dog House production
My dawg, Battlecat, yeah
It's how we do it, y'all
Woof, ha ha
Bow wow, bow wow, bow wow (bow wow, bow wow)
I can give you what you looking for
I guarantee once you stay with me you'll want no more
And baby, if you want it
You can get it once we close the door (ooh)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
