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.
Birds and the bees
Come and fuck wit a G
Hot as 65 hunnid degrees
Hard on a ho
Drop your drawers to the floor
Gangsta guy, baby girl get on your knees
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
Runnin' to get to that check, I'm comin'
Jumpin' out of that back seat bussin'
Buss buss missions with the blower as a youngin'
Back when Killa Mo had 'em coppin' Crystal through the prison door
Feel the 4
When I'm feelin' low
Time to stretch a nigga
Ridin' through your section
Shit, I hope you got protection with you
Hop out when the cops out
Shit, I'm cold with my .45, brown rag, green light
Yoda time
Birds and the bees
Come and fuck wit a G
Hot as 65 hunnid degrees
Hard on a ho
Drop your drawers to the floor
Gangsta guy, baby girl get on your knees
You alone
Car full of niggas but you alone
It's time to show how much you love your homies
One nigga outside
Two niggas up inside the store
One nigga gon' die
The other two can come along
Gloves with the disguise
Bang the set before you blow
Don't stop 'til he drop
Don't shoot for the skies or shoot for his toes
I told you before
That niggas gotta die for this shit to survive
Is you wit it or not?
Get to knockin' then
Problem is, lotta niggas scared of the consequence
Common sense missin' from your head when the pressure on
Niggas from my home ain't enrolled in the colleges
Fuck a class, junkies hittin' glass
Get the money long
Gleamin' with the tents and the stash, no tags
Bumpin' on the ave
Gettin' cash until a nigga's gone
And ain't shit wrong with the truth
Got the juice
Woulda threw that nigga bishop off the roof
Birds and the bees
Come and fuck wit a G
Hot as 65 hunnid degrees
Hard on a ho
Drop your drawers to the floor
Gangsta guy, baby girl get on your knees
Come and fuck wit a G
Hot as 65 hunnid degrees
Hard on a ho
Drop your drawers to the floor
Gangsta guy, baby girl get on your knees
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
65 hunnid degrees
Block been hot 'bout
Runnin' to get to that check, I'm comin'
Jumpin' out of that back seat bussin'
Buss buss missions with the blower as a youngin'
Back when Killa Mo had 'em coppin' Crystal through the prison door
Feel the 4
When I'm feelin' low
Time to stretch a nigga
Ridin' through your section
Shit, I hope you got protection with you
Hop out when the cops out
Shit, I'm cold with my .45, brown rag, green light
Yoda time
Birds and the bees
Come and fuck wit a G
Hot as 65 hunnid degrees
Hard on a ho
Drop your drawers to the floor
Gangsta guy, baby girl get on your knees

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
