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.
30, you a fool for this one
Trappin' out the backstreet
Runnin' through the packs like a track meet (zoom)
Pull up with two pistols on me, Max P
Back to back to back to trap, we on repeat
Drippin' on these bitches, put a stain on 'em
Lamborghini Aventador, no brain on it
Iced out Patek with the rain on it
Automatic with the scope, range on it
Spent 160, that's two watches
Got damn, think I need a new hobby
Bought a chain, coulda bought a Bugatti
Niggas dick riding with a Ducati
Check it out, check it out, check out
Ridin' 'round town with the sticks out
It's fashion week, so I brought the Rick's out
These niggas rats, no Mickey Mouse
These niggas hate 'cause I'm too rich
Big carats, same size Cheeze-Its
88 thou' for a new wrist
Peter Piper, pull up with a new pistol
Doors knocked down that's dust crystals
Runnin' to the money like I'm Frank Gore
This ring cost more than a Honda Accord
Fuck with the set then it's over with
Walk in the spot, get it overlit
I want some pussy, she open it
Fuck her one time then I'm over it
These niggas weird and they talk too much
All these new niggas, they socialists
Holding on tight to my bragging rights
I write my name on the mogul list
Spent 160, that's two watches
Got damn, think I need a new hobby
Bought a chain, coulda bought a Bugatti
Niggas dick riding with a Ducati
Check it out, check it out, check out
Ridin' 'round town with the sticks out
It's fashion week, so I brought the Rick's out
These niggas rats, no Mickey Mouse
Million dollar lick but I missed out
Fell to sleep on the drank, I was pissed off
Got 100 on your hand, hold your wrist out
Hellcat racecar, no pitstop
Had a million dollars cash in my bitch house
Wearin' 20 thousand dollar outfits now
Coupe cars, 160 and I cashed out
Lil' Ski comin' home 'bout to max out
Anything I buy, I'm spending all 20s
100s and 50s goin' to the grave wit' me
I sleep with a chopper and bathe with a glizzy
A nigga try Yachty we shootin' out the city
Ask them other niggas how we got busy
It ain't no sleep 'til we hittin' our victim
Nigga play gangster, but we know they bitches
I'm thinkin' they mad 'cause we fuckin' they bitches
Spent 160, that's on two watches
Got damn, think I need a new hobby
Bought a chain, coulda bought a Bugatti
Niggas dick riding with a Ducati
Check it out, check it out, check it out
Ridin' 'round town with the sticks out
It's fashion week, so I brought the Rick's out
These niggas rats, no Mickey Mouse
Trappin' out the backstreet
Runnin' through the packs like a track meet (zoom)
Pull up with two pistols on me, Max P
Back to back to back to trap, we on repeat
Drippin' on these bitches, put a stain on 'em
Lamborghini Aventador, no brain on it
Iced out Patek with the rain on it
Automatic with the scope, range on it
Spent 160, that's two watches
Got damn, think I need a new hobby
Bought a chain, coulda bought a Bugatti

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
