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.
Beaster music
Okay, young Jibbs
The Beaster
If the party start jumping
And the beat start knocking
And the cuties on the dance floor
Out there popping
Go gurl, go gurl, go gurl
Go on get your money up
The way ya boy flip, makes you say the game over
Sales ice cold, make music called cola
And I ain't even did commercials for Coca Cola
Start biting on the shock, watch what tough sold her
G, and they wonder why J.I. bragging
I done spit so much fire they should call me dragon
But not like Sisqo, plus I got butter like crisqo
So I copped the iced out crystal
Man, they say my mouth piece is lethal
So if you want to battle then my words will eat you
Just put your back out, should've knew I?ll beast you
And I am my own writer, I don't use dead people
If the party start jumping
And the beat start knocking
And the cuties on the dance floor
Out there popping
Go gurl, go gurl, go gurl
Go on get your money up
If the party start jumping
And the beat start knocking
And the cuties on the dance floor
Out there popping
Go gurl, go gurl, go gurl
Go on get your money up
My flow?s so contagious delivery so sick
You might get Inamonia just from hearing me spit
So don't make threats talking what ya ain't did
'Cause all wolf tickets is doing is make ya lil? bitch
I'm looking for a mill, so I couldn't be a cactus
'Cause being dropped ain't apart of my status
Living off what I might not be the baddest
But I?d rather freeze ice then put it in my glasses
They askin' what, what type of cars getting driven
Pull so many strings they think I play guitars for a living
Metaphors is the bars I am fitting
Ain't even in the sky, but ya boy meeting stars for a living
If you wanna look fresh and you trynna go shopping
Then ride by shorties for looking start stopping
Go gurl, go gurl, go gurl
Go on get your money up
If the party start jumping
And the beat start knocking
And the cuties on the dance floor
Out there popping
Go gurl, go gurl, go gurl
Go on get your money up

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
