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.
Aye
Yeaaah baby!
Zoo Zoo!
Zoovier!
Squad!
I pull up in my beamer
I ball and start to flexin'
Used to stay in the traphouse
We servin' fiends they breakfast
All I do is count money
My lil brother stretch it
Don't get shit on my hands now
My shits too fuckin' special
Big ZooWap from the bando
I'm sendin' you a message
Everything that I land on
I swear to God I smash it
And my whole damn camp on
I heat it up then pass it
Every beat that I wap on
I put it in a casket
Hit the gas on my spaceship
I hate waitin' in traffic
Like they all at a standstill
My ZooWap fuckin' passin'
Chaos pull out that 40
He doing too much yappin'
I am G.M.O.B
We folkland get it crackin'
How you stand on yo block
without yo pistol boy you lackin'
Pillow talk to them bitches
Bout me boy I'll found out faster
How you stand on yo block
without yo pistol boy you lackin'
So don't talk to them bitches
Bout me boy I'll found out faster (Aye)
Bands all in my Robyn jeans
Niggas trynna rob me
Fuck nigga betta' duck
Fo' I get the Tommy
Ridin' in the drop top with a mami'
Hunnid bands Imma drop soon on my timepeice
Tints all on my beamer boy
ZooWap I'm so special
Came on up from nothing
Now it's money in my dresser
Only jeans I rock
I waste five hunnid just to dress up
Stupid live in the woods
ZooWap rollin' faster
Had to tip my fuckin' six
I floor it, it go faster
ZooWap from the trap
I swear my sack is a disaster
Different color twelve twelve
Skinnys in a plastic
You gon' need a fuckin' phantom
If you trynna match it
Grit and dice on twenty eight
Trappin' out the mansion
Old school days
Box chevy for my grandma
All I wanna do is whip
And put ZooWap on the landmark
Through these streets I'm movin quick
Like Big ZooWap a land shark
Talkin shit can't leave yo block
That's how you get yo landmark
Heavy cheese, my neck on freeze
And Gucci Mane my role model
Everytime I hit the club
We pop atleast bout' four bottles
Everytime we leave the club
You see all the hoes follow
If that nigga actin crazy
He gon' get the whole hollow
ZooWap I don't give a fuck
Got sympathy for nobody
All they gotta do is cut the check

ZooWap I'm the motherfuckin' best compared to nobody
Laser tips will beam you up

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
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
