Good Ol' Days

Authority Zero

Let's go

Watching your friends grow up around you really sucks but that's okay
'Cause I'm doing the same
The same old people that they ever were, but new problems
And new times always seem to change their smiling face, oi oi oi
Well times are changing, but not me, we'll always stay the same
We're always keeping it fun and games

I'm drinking 40s with my homies in the park, but that's okay
'Cause we'll always stay the same

Well finishing off four kegs is no easy task, but we did it anyway
On Heather's birthday
We got fucked up and laid in the grass all night into the next day
Well that's okay, go

Well I walk around these streets and see a million faces that I've never seen before
I've got my boys, and nothin's changin'
We'll drink it up, pass me a cup, and don't you fuckin' puke on me
Well that's okay, oh yeah
Ok, yeah

Yeah, oh, yeah, oh yeah, let's go

We'll drink it up, let's get fucked up
Nothing's gonna change, well that's okay
These fuckin' feelings are gonna get to me
We'll do it anyway, well that's okay

Well people don't realize that we'll always be brothers, and until then
We'll depend on one another, until tonight, how 'bout a fuckin' fight?
Why can't you understand, we're going to demand
It's gonna be alright, me and my boys tonight, yeah

Go go go, go

    This is about those core group of friends you have had throughout the years, the friends with whom you can have one of the most fun nights you have ever had just drinking in a park some where doing nothig until all hours of the night. We all have had those drunken " i love you man" moments and i think thats what they mean with

    "These fucking feelings are gonna get to me, we'll do it anyway. Well that's okay. Well people, don't realize, that we'll always be brothers, and until then, we'll depend upon one another"

    sometimes all you need is just your boys.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
