i'm alone like a stray dog in a park filled with ducks,
i'm alone like a virgin in a city full of fucks.
i'm alone with my thoughts that aren't as good as in the past.
i'm alone with my words and stay silent til the last

violent shudders rack my backbone, muttering i'm at home,
when i'm utterly submerged in this black zone.
i'm alone when i leave a club go home and kiss my goldfish,
to be atrociously rich, i'd have to suck dick and lose focus.
everything i write i edit after meditating,
it takes time to ferment before words can be intoxicating,
invigorating like hot rocks and steam from a jet setting
the scene in motion like molten earth waves paving the ocean.

all these people make my brain hurt,
and when it rains the same shirt soaked the night before remains dirty.
for it's thirty plus centigrate,
the skin begins disintegrating along with innovating ways of keeping cool,
all i smell is sweat and the taste of drool.

i guess hot is not as cool as it used to be.
that's news to my not knowing i'm not even wearing my own shoes see,
and loosely swearing deeply caring for brothers soul bearing and pouring out their booze,
i ask you "how else we supposed to know these hidden truths."

revolutionary art is the evolutionary start!
we're not enthused so we won't play a part for fear of losing
my generation is desparately needing an infusing,
of something soothing a transfusion if you will,
let's abuse this illusion and hollar till
we get our dollar bills back scholars still fill their knapsacks with kickbacks.

so i'm lacking an education or at least a piece of paper that says
i've passed and means nothing to me and my vast accumulation of this fucking knowledge
outside of the closed doors of a fucking monkey college.
unless you converse in commerce or commute between computer class
or you neutered asses in glass lab flasks handling gasses behind a white mask,
then you got it made in the artificial shade.

i'm a tarponds survivor, i've breathed a skyfull of pollution,
yet i'd rather be famous than be a part of the solution.
and when revolution starts let em all bleed cause indeed i'm the king of hearts
and my queen likes her screaming in between and not before never ever after,
in the meantime in between time she cackles laughter
like a fiend in line for methadone,
she needs to see excessive death whenever left alone.

so off with her head, and now i'm bound to expound,
it never hurts to spurt words to raise the ways in which the underground works.
it's so amazing. it's always better before the lenses rays start invading.
you hear it on the radio and still salivating.
but then the waiting ends stations start creating hits in this tradition,
now i can never watch tv cause i'm against full submission.

i open windows and it rains, i guess that explains my engagement
to the windows of the soul in gold plated frame arrangement.
we are the terminally ill, technologically advanced,
permanently still and breathe heavy on the off chance,
when i'm off in the distance waving my hands, hope they notice me,
i'm standing in their wasteland, knee-deep in chicken shit and poetry.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Punchline
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.
