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.
Say goodbye to you,
But it always dies,
It's taken aback to....
So what you gonna do now,
But you've got until sundown
Don't look too good, look too bright,
Got it all but want to fight
So how you gonna feel now
But you've got till sundown
Step in the car its time to go
You want it back you fell off track
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me such an irony
And I told you once I'd never leave,
And all I do and and all I've seen
I drove.
(Some shouting of some sort...go jamie)
So tell me why it all revolves around you,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
And I no in time wot I must do,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
Now I no its time for us to fade,
Say what's awful, want it all today, now
Say what's wrong with you,
Got too much on your mind
And you just don't no where your going
So how you gonna feel now,
But you got until sundown
Don't look too good don't look too bright
Got it all and want to fight
So how you gonna feel now,
But you got until sundown
Step in the car
It's time to go
You want it back, you still attack
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me, such an irony
And I told you once I'd never leave
And all I do, and all I see
I drove
(Some shouting of some sort...go jamie go jamie)
So tell me why it all revolves around you,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
And I no in time wot I must do,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
Now I no its time for us to fade,
Say what's awful, want it all today, now
I feel fine now, its my time now
I feel fine now, its my time now
(Break down!)
But it always dies,
It's taken aback to....
So what you gonna do now,
But you've got until sundown
Don't look too good, look too bright,
Got it all but want to fight
So how you gonna feel now
But you've got till sundown
Step in the car its time to go
You want it back you fell off track
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me such an irony
And I told you once I'd never leave,
And all I do and and all I've seen
I drove.
(Some shouting of some sort...go jamie)
So tell me why it all revolves around you,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
And I no in time wot I must do,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
Now I no its time for us to fade,
Say what's awful, want it all today, now
Say what's wrong with you,
Got too much on your mind
And you just don't no where your going
So how you gonna feel now,
But you got until sundown
Don't look too good don't look too bright
Got it all and want to fight
So how you gonna feel now,
But you got until sundown
Step in the car
It's time to go
You want it back, you still attack
A thousand knives left in my back
Protecting me, such an irony
And I told you once I'd never leave
And all I do, and all I see
I drove
(Some shouting of some sort...go jamie go jamie)
So tell me why it all revolves around you,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
And I no in time wot I must do,
(I got it I got it I got it..)
Now I no its time for us to fade,
Say what's awful, want it all today, now
I feel fine now, its my time now
I feel fine now, its my time now
(Break down!)

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
