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.

Come on, come on, come on
I wanna hear that shit bump, bump
You know what I'm sayin'
Who ya know with the big cash flow
Beats hotter than tobasco
And I love to see a honey shake her ass slow
By now you should know this ain't a bitch
I won't cut it if I think you can fuck with it
I be the infamous sparking all these hoes
Interest as we enter this
R&b with a twist j.e. is what it is
Now tell me baby can you handle this
A lot of ice on the wrist make a list to match
Here it so so us cats count doe by the stack
Cause it jumps of racks and stores
Which leads to a hallway of plaques and whores
Those signs that read 'the world is yours'
And when they come on in clubs people pack the floors
I make hits, then I dip with a dip to the tropical
Known to the world as j.d. the unstoppable
Right about now is when I ask you for this dance
Hope you don't turn it down they just put on our jam
And I've been watchin' you til everybody know all night
Don't try to fight this feeling cause all you gotta do is let it go
1- girl this thang is all so serious babe
Waiting long enough let's hit the floor babe
Ain't no stoppin', we got this place on up
Ain't no stoppin', we got this place on up
Ain't no stoppin', can't stop, won't stop
Ain't no stoppin', can't stop, won't stop, no
Girl you and I know that it's time that we
Put everything aside and dance all night
What you wanna do, I just wanna rock with you
So girl don't shy, put your hand in mine
Repeat 1
I came to bring the pain hard corp to the brain
(we got this place on up)
I came to bring the pain hard corp to the brain
(can't stop, won't stop no)
I came to bring the pain hard corp to the brain
(we got this place on up)
I came to bring the pain hard corp to the brain
(can't stop, won't stop no)
Come on, come on, come on
I wanna hear that shit bump, bump
You know what I'm sayin'
Who ya know with the big cash flow
Beats hotter than tobasco
And I love to see a honey shake her ass slow
By now you should know this ain't a bitch
I won't cut it if I think you can fuck with it
I be the infamous sparking all these hoes
Interest as we enter this
R&b with a twist j.e. is what it is
Now tell me baby can you handle this
A lot of ice on the wrist make a list to match
Here it so so us cats count doe by the stack
Cause it jumps of racks and stores
Which leads to a hallway of plaques and whores
Those signs that read 'the world is yours'
And when they come on in clubs people pack the floors
I make hits, then I dip with a dip to the tropical
Known to the world as j.d. the unstoppable
Right about now is when I ask you for this dance
Hope you don't turn it down they just put on our jam
And I've been watchin' you til everybody know all night
Don't try to fight this feeling cause all you gotta do is let it go
1- girl this thang is all so serious babe
Waiting long enough let's hit the floor babe
Ain't no stoppin', we got this place on up
Ain't no stoppin', we got this place on up
Ain't no stoppin', can't stop, won't stop
Ain't no stoppin', can't stop, won't stop, no

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.

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

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.
