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.
BP, ready?
Live from the bad bitch headquarters
Birthing these hoes, I got four daughters
I'm the realest, what I got to show for it
Let Jesus take the will, and I'll show for it!
Peter Piper pick Perry the Push
But I'm the shit, no SPEAK or flush
And now I don't mean to be over their heads
Running, spitting the verses like I'm bunking the beds
Bounce, I could put you late for a stand by
Don't need security, I move like a samurai!
Broke and envious, they're looking with a green eye
I don't roll up, but I ain't high!
Paparazzi, that's what the fame buy
Suited for the game, but it's no tie!
Hook:
Reporting live from the jungle
Now how many real hoes wanna rumble?
Reporting live from the jungle
Now how many real hoes wanna rumble?
Wanna rumble with the beat, huh, huh, huh?
Wanna rumble with the beat, huh, huh, huh?
Never stop, never bow
Can't school me with financial holds
I was bump beneath, I was copping hoes
(See again) It's my time so I'm clocking hoes
You can only do what I let you
Who the fuck are you to say I never impressed you?
Filthy mouth, need POTTY TRAINING
The menace I'm, I could tell from my body LANGUAGE
Anybody could get it, ask'
When I hum for the crown, bitches better bow down
Cause I'm only 21 with a hell of a style
I'm in the bank, you in denial!
I'm too nice to ever PLAY nice
Give advice, look at the bigger picture not the likes!
If you nigga a hoe then you a dyke
I'm provocative but they don't wanna fight
Hook:
Reporting live from the jungle
Now how many real hoes wanna rumble?

My appearance don't need no clearance
Good critic, nothing in the name of my appearance
Check my balance, check my merits
I can't be broke like 7 (divide that!)
Get pimping, man, he in the peddy!
Keep yourself together, bitch, that's peddy!
I can't socialize with chicks, that's peddy
Fine women like me, pink plenty (noup)
Ain't many, my ego ain't many
All head stincky, respect gotta get me
Rap then again, too many gimmicking
I just put the words to the beat, but I ain't industry!
Just put the words to the beat, but I ain't industry!

This is not a test
You wagging and get happening

Big Oprah could tell you to do 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"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
