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.
Do you want to get rocked?
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
I'm your average ordinary everyday kid
Happy to do nothin'
In fact that's what I did
I got a million ways to make my day
But daddy don't agree
'Cause when I try to get away
He says he got plans for me
Get your butt right out of bed
Stop buggin' me
Get up and move your sleepy head
Don't shake my tree
(He said mow the lawn) who me?
(Walk the dog) not my style, man
(Take out the trash) no way
(Tidy your room) c'mon get real
Sorry dad, gotta disappear
Let's get the rock out of here
Seven day weekend
Up all night
In at the deep end
Hang on tight
Won't take a minute
It won't take long
So get on in it
Come on, c'mon, c'mon
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way
Get it night 'n' day
C'mon let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
I'm your average ordinary everyday dude
Drivin' with my baby
To get her in the mood
She's dialin' through my radio
And I'm ready to make my move
But what she got ain't rock 'n' roll
And it really blew my groove
It was Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven
It makes me want to scream
Bach, Tschaikovsky, violins
Turn it off, that ain't my scene
Well I'm sorry girl
Here's my confession
I suppose a rock's out of the question?
Seven day weekend
Up all night
In at the deep end
Hang on tight
Won't take a minute
It won't take long
So get on in it
Come on, c'mon, c'mon
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way
Get it night 'n' day
C'mon let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
All I want to do is
Take a ride into the blue
Every time I want to love you
I get stuck inside my room
Heaven knows I'm sick 'n' tired
Of dancin' with this broom
I feel lucky today
Hey look at that, man
Do you want to get rocked?
Do you want to get rocked?
It won't take you a minute
It won't take that long, yeah
Get on, get with it
Oh, c'mon everybody
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Get on top baby
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Do you want to, do you want to?
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Get on top of it
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Love to rock your body baby
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way
Let's do it night 'n' day
Let's get out and play
Rock the night away
C'mon let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Do you want to get rocked?
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
I'm your average ordinary everyday kid
Happy to do nothin'
In fact that's what I did
I got a million ways to make my day
But daddy don't agree

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.

Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
cool tune, kinda goofy, but it rocks
