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.
I spent happiness
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
I had nothing to complain of
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
As if I were in a dream
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
I was satisfied with my life
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
It can easily disappear
It's just like a daydream
If you eat it only once
You'll be obsessed with it all your life!
But I can't make strawberry cream puff
And I can't get strawberry cream puff
I can't make strawberry cream puff
I couldn't never eat strawb cream puff
Everyday is lonely
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
Everything is boring
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
My heart is breaking
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
There is something missing in my life
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
It can easily disappear
It's just like a daydream
If you eat it only once
You'll be obsessed with it all your life!
But I don't need strawberry cream puff
And I can't get strawberry cream puff
I don't need strawberry cream puff
I couldn't never eat strawb cream puff
It can easily disappear
It's just like a daydream
If you eat it only once
You'll be obsessed with it all your life!
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
I know I can't get strawberry cream puff
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
But I need my strawb cream puff
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
I know I can't get strawberry cream puff
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
But I need my strawb cream puff
But I need my strawb cream puff
I want my strawberry cream puff.
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
I had nothing to complain of
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
As if I were in a dream
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
I was satisfied with my life
Before I ate strawberry cream puff
It can easily disappear
It's just like a daydream
If you eat it only once
You'll be obsessed with it all your life!
But I can't make strawberry cream puff
And I can't get strawberry cream puff
I can't make strawberry cream puff
I couldn't never eat strawb cream puff
Everyday is lonely
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
Everything is boring
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
My heart is breaking
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
There is something missing in my life
Since I ate strawberry cream puff
It can easily disappear
It's just like a daydream
If you eat it only once
You'll be obsessed with it all your life!
But I don't need strawberry cream puff
And I can't get strawberry cream puff
I don't need strawberry cream puff
I couldn't never eat strawb cream puff
It can easily disappear
It's just like a daydream
If you eat it only once
You'll be obsessed with it all your life!
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
I know I can't get strawberry cream puff
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
But I need my strawb cream puff
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
I know I can't get strawberry cream puff
I know I can't make strawberry cream puff
But I need my strawb cream puff
But I need my strawb cream puff
I want my strawberry cream puff.

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

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.
