Dont' come up to me at all
Shut up shut up you're killing my heart
You didn't connect with me at all
I don't think that you even try
Everybody's got something to say
I don't care to listen today
All you're trying to do is bring me down anyway

You don't think we're ready yet
Shut up shut up you don't understand
Why are all these people here?
They're all here because they understand.
Everybody's got something to say
I don't care to listen today
All you're trying to do is bring me down anyway

And I don't know why you hang around
Trying to bring my whole world down
If you're gonna stay than don't make a sound
Hush hush

Maybe I should wear a brighter shirt
Shut up shut up you're killing my eye
You should keep your big mouth shut
You keep saying things I don't wanna hear
Everybody's got something to say
I don't care to listen today
All you're trying to do is bring me down anyway

And I don't know why you hang around
Trying to bring my whole world down
If you're gonna stay than don't make a sound
Hush hush

And I don't know why you hang around
Trying to bring my whole world down
If you're gonna stay than don't make a sound
Hush hush

And I don't know why you hang around
Trying to bring my whole world down
If you're gonna stay than don't make a sound
Hush hush

Hush hush
Hush hush
Hush hush
Hush hush

Shut up

    I love this song so much. It's even better live. I can really relate to the feeling of not wanting other people's opinions.

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.

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.

American Town

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.
