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.
Hot thing, hot thing
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it
Shorty got a body that jeans can't hold
And she moving like she learned everything from the pole
And she loves to party, number one hobby
Out till the morning better ask somebody
Yo, talk to the girl walk here's the round (yo)
Watch what happen to you when she hear the sound (yo)
Tell her shake it up, tell her hit the ground (yo)
Gonna face time see if she's down (yeah)
She's a girl from the future
Says she's sick and tired of the old
So all that old shit can hit the road
Man you only know if you know 'cause she's
A hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it (oh damn)
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it (she's so bubblicious)
Seen her amazing she stopped and pose
When she seen the green one she just go, go, go
Like a stolen Bugatti, got money in your pocket
That makes you a Willy Parker pop up when he got a body
Yo, talk to the girl walk here's your round (yeah)
Watch what will happen to you when she hear the sound
Tell her shake it up, tell her hit the ground
(Yo) gonna face time, see if she's down
She said you must have money in your wallet till the thing don't fall
And this is credit cards black not gold
Now you only know if you know
For real she's a hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing) (she's a)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing) (she's a)
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it (oh damn)
(Hot thing) What's up with it (oh it's better)
(Hot thing) What's up with it (when she bubblicious)
Fly young hot thing girl lemme cool off
G-Q status wouldn't fuck me with my suit on
She a fashion killer and you know
I am a shoe hog Christian Louis Vuitton red bottoms
Gives me blue balls
She fuck me like she know me, and fuck me like she owe me
She told me the she showed me, then she cuddle like she lonely
All for the love, for the Holy Matrimony
But I'm pretty like Tony and I'm pimping like Goldie
How ya, how ya, how ya doing, I'm the motherfucking man
True hot boy catch me running with the flame
She a hot girl so she's running with the name
Drop it like it's hot on my motherfucking thing
Mommy like a lotta, Papi like the Murcielago
Grido riding down Mercer go Nicki Minaj flow
When I hit the verse-uh, if you let me menage
I'll take you to see Usher
Yo, talk to the girl walk here's your round (gotta talk to a man)
Watch what will happen to you when she hear the sound (hey when she hear the sound)
Tell her shake it up, tell hit the ground (yo) (shake it up)
(Lemme see it drop it down low) Gonna face time see if she's down
She said it don't really take to much to get me out of control
Baby, you stop this my show
Just take a little and I'm good to go (yeah man)
You with a hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
(Hot thing) What's up with it (I like them girls with the bubblicious)
(Hot thing) What's up with it (without a man)
(Hot thing) What's up with it (ain't gotta have a lot)
(Hot thing) What's up with it (just enough for me to hold on to)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
Hot thing (hot thing)
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it
(Hot thing) What's up with it

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday

@[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.

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.
