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.
Is dit net ek, of is als tos?
Is dit net ek? Is-is dit net ek?
Jis jis, ek soek n fancy goose
Maar my sak's plat soos barbie se plastic poes
Wat die fok?
Fok die poes in die Corsa langs ons
Yo Ninja kook n tekkie
Laat ons gly
Drive! Drive fast!
Gly! Gly! Gly! Gly!
Drive fast!
Play kak music loud!
Wat kyk jy? Fokof!
Wat kyk jy? Poes!
Wat kyk jy? Fok jou!
Wat kyk jy? Jou naai!
Ninja rolling in a BMW
Sipping vitamiene B en C
Die brannewyn en coke slat weer n keer
Yo tjek daai sker in die pvc
Hot-pants lekker B.P.P.
'Binne-poes-pienk' aan die moerefokken brand
Net soos hierdie stainless steel
Rap-ster met n groot fokken stywe piel
Yo! Better listen to whatever she says
Ek's down met die moere fokken Wedding DJ's
Pump up the volume! Haal pips uit die zol uit
Hol skud morsig! Laat die fokken jol ruk
Fok die bewe koppe! Yo raas is baas
The richest bitch with the nicest arse
Oppie mikrofoon yo uh! Moerefokkit! Tjekkie
Yo Ninja! Kook n fokken tekkie
Hier gat ons weer! O here! Warra! Warra! Warra!
It's that brother from another mother's gwarra
Jislaaik! How did I get so fancy?
Al die ander rappers is net ou panties
Ninja! Die real fokken deal
Jy lyk so mooi met my piel in jou keel
Ag siestog! Now try say my name
Man-botter binne in jou slym-konyn
Zik my blaar! Swaai daai zaan
Twee Savannas en my vibes aan
Skop n dop en fokkit op
Ek maak duk zak
Cause I grab the microphone and fuck shit up
Ek's zef! Zars
Baby and my whole crew's fre$! Vars
If I don't know you get lost, you not on my level
Yo put the pedal to the metal
Yoh! Dis net soos n gynecologist se office
Net n klomp poese hierso
Naai man!
Kom ons fokof na die 'Wat Kyk Jy?' jol toe
Yoh! Die queues daar by die 'Wat Kyk Jy?' jols
Is langer as die queues by home affairs
Naai my broe die queues is langer daar
Dis tough kak gets you lekker fucked up
Soos jou eerste spliff
Ek's down met die fokken Zef Meester Griff
On the microphone I'm like the evilest ruler
Mind control many stupid people like Zuma
Wat? Fuck you poepol!
Say what you like but you can't do fokol
Deal with it! You can't fuck with my game
Charf my poef ek buckle jou frame.
Yo what the fuck are you saying?
I'm not wise with your street lingo
Show me the money this is not a free freak-show
Ek smaak goud soos C3PO
Here maar hierdie fokken jols kwaai
Niks soos n lekker bietjie hol swaai
Niks soos n lekker bietjie hol naai
Don't worry everything will be alright!
Die fokken Antwoord
Weer aan die moere fokken brand my blaar
Vra vir die flying dutchman aka Neo SA.
Jy maak n meisie sommer jags
Deel met jou vriende
Is dit net ek? Is-is dit net ek?
Jis jis, ek soek n fancy goose
Maar my sak's plat soos barbie se plastic poes
Wat die fok?
Fok die poes in die Corsa langs ons
Yo Ninja kook n tekkie

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
