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.
(Lemme tell you what I did. what did you do?)
I went to a party last Saturday night,
I didn't get laid I got in a fight
Uh huh, it ain't no big thing (really?)
Late for my job and the traffic was bad
Had to borrow ten bucks from tavis's dad
Uh huh, it ain't no big thing
I went to a party last Saturday night,
I told you that story and I'll be alright
Uh huh, it ain't no big thing
But I know what I like
I know I like dancin' with you
And I know what you like,
I know you like dancin' with me
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly
Had a few beers, gettin' high
Sittin', watchin' the time go by
Uh huh, it ain't no big thing
Nothin' to eat and no TV
Lookin' in the mirror don't do it for me
Uh huh, it ain't to big thing
But I know what I like
I know I like dancin' with you
And I know what you like
I know you like dancin' with me
(Dance with me!)
Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly
Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly
(well I know you like dancin' with me)
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly
Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me
Come on pretty baby kiss me
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly
Kiss me deadly
Went to a party last night
I didn't get laid
(and I fell into the Jacuzzi)
I went to a party last Saturday night,

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
