i never gave you all that you needed
i'm so full of me, i forgot about you, babe
this time apart gives you time to see that
all your new guy friends wouldn't treat you like that
you're champagne and i guess i'm shit
and looking back i guess I see why you went through with it and now this coming to terms has me blaming myself and not you
if i can ever get to see you
know this time that we'll be on a different level
now that i can relate to your opinion of me
i never gave you all that you needed
i'm so full of me, i forgot about you, babe
this time apart gives me time to see that
all your new guy friends wouldn't treat you like that
when you called me and spoke about him
i thought you lied to me or changed your mind on a whim but once the nausea passed it all fell into place for me
he's a dreamcast and i'm atari
and i'm a dork for even making that analogy
and its abundantly clear why you made that choice last may
i've moved on its for the best

    A guy gets taken by surprise when he gets dumped by his girlfriend. His girlfriend had been hanging out with some new male friends and realizes that her friends treat her much better than her boyfriend. The guy later realizes that it was actually his fault for losing his girlfriend, and he has been a bad, selfish boyfriend. He looks at the situation from his (former) girlfriend's point of view and he can relate to her opinion of himself.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

Blue
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
