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.
Uh
Ayy, Dirty (what?)
Look at that girl right there (ooh)
She make me say
Ooh, ooh (yeah), ooh, ooh (hey)
Do what you do (come here for a minute)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Switch your hips when you're walkin', let down your hurr (down your hurr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Lick your lips when you're talkin', that make me sturr (make me sturr)
I like the way you look in them pants, see ya fine (fine)
Lil' mama a quarter piece, she far from a dime (dime)
The type of girl that'll get'cha up and go make you grind (grind)
I'm thinkin' about snatchin' her up, Dirty, makin' her mine
Look at her hips (what?), look at her legs, ain't she stacked? (Stacked)
I sure wouldn't mind hittin' that from the back (back)
I like it when I touch it 'cause she moan a lil' bit
Jeans saggin' so I can see her thong a lil' bit
I know you grown a little bit, twenty years old, you legal
Don't trip off my people, just hop in the Regal
I swooped on her like an eagle swoop down on its prey
I know you popular, but you gon' be famous today, I say
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Switch your hips when you're walkin', let down your hurr (down your hurr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Lick your lips when you're talkin', that make me sturr (make me sturr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Switch your hips when you're walkin', let down your hurr (down your hurr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Lick your lips when you're talkin', that make me sturr (make me sturr)
Uh, she be shoppin' in Frontenac
Just look at her front and back
Man, she so stacked and she know that I want that
Her man, he's so wack, girl, can I taste yo' cat?
Gave her three hundred to strip, like buyin' a throwback
She stay in the club, like to be seen, she got it honest
In real life, girl remind me of Pocahontas
She be at events (yeah), cuss out the press when she pass (yeah)
All the high rollin' cats wanna pay for that ass
Ain't no half steppin' (steppin'), she strapped wit a nice weapon (weapon)
Trip, it's against the law for her to move them hips
If you ever seen her, Dirty, your mouth gon' drop
Worldwide fools probably tell you this off tops
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Switch your hips when you're walkin', let down your hurr (down your hurr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Lick your lips when you're talkin', that make me sturr (make me sturr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Switch your hips when you're walkin', let down your hurr (down your hurr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Lick your lips when you're talkin', that make me sturr (make me sturr)
I like the way she doin' that (c'mon)
Plus I like it when she bring it back (say it)
Ooh (uh-huh), ooh, ooh, ooh (uh-huh), do what you do (woo)
I like the way she doin' that (c'mon)
Plus I like it when she bring it back (say it)
Ooh (uh-huh), ooh, ooh, ooh (uh-huh), do what you do (woo)
Gimme what you got for a pork chop (uh)
She threw it at me like I was a short-stop (uh)
Twerkin' in a Fatty Girl Hugga Top
Then she back it up on me and let it drop (drop)
Make it hop (boing), like a bunny (bunny)
Girl, can I touch you where it's sunny?
Her apperance'll make you give her some money
She should pose for Sports Illustrated
It's like a picture-perfect sight
When she pass all the other girls hate it, but
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Switch your hips when you're walkin', let down your hurr (down your hurr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Lick your lips when you're talkin', that make me sturr (make me sturr)
I like the way you do that right thurr (right thurr)
Switch your hips when you're walkin', let down your hurr (down your hurr)

Little Feat
Little Feat
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”
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
