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.
Whatever you want I got it papi
Don't hesitate holla at me
What I'm looking for is simple you see
Love and support and sexuality
When I'm with you, I don't want to leave
I need you just like the air I breathe
But when I'm not with you I'm missing my peace
I got a lot inside I need to release
You fulfill my every desire
When I'm with you you take me higher
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
There is no way you are getting away
I need your love every day
Medicine can't cure the way that I feel
What I need is my inner fill
Being without you its making me ill
Stressing me out I need to chill
Something this strong gotta be real
Nothing or no one show my skills
You fulfill my every desire (oh yes you did)
When I'm (when I'm) with you (With you)You take me higher (oh you are)
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
I admit that I'm a prisoner of your sex appeal (sex appeal)
I can't seem to find a way to escape how I feel (how I feel)
I can't wait no longer please come give a dose to me (dose to me)
Breathings getting stronger need you now close to me
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
