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.
She said to leave it till the end of the party
Do it now, you know there's never a next time
How come the feeling that it's only just started
Pull back your cover, I could love you for all time
But do it now, you know there's never a next time
The bees are busy,
Now there's gold on the hill
The branches waving
But our hearts are wrapped up inside
And then you leave me, so I start missing you a lot
No argument oh do I love you or not
No argument, you have all the love that I see as mine
Pull back your cover, I could love you for all time
But do it now you know there's never a next time
She said to leave it till the end of the party
How come the feeling that it's always just starting
The bees are busy
Now there's gold on the hill
The branches waving
But our hearts are wrapped up inside
And then you leave me so I start missing you a lot
No argument oh do I love you, I love you or not
Oh treat him like a baby please
Oh treat him like a baby please
Strength is not the same as anger
Put the taste back into hunger
Searching the box, looking for what?
I love you, I love you or not?
Strength is not the same as anger
Put the taste back into hunger
Searching the box looking for what?
Pushing the gear back into top?
Put the first back into class
Lose your bottle break the glass
You'll wind up high and dry with just this slow cold comfort
Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not?
Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not?
Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not?
Oh treat him like a baby please
Do it now, you know there's never a next time
How come the feeling that it's only just started
Pull back your cover, I could love you for all time
But do it now, you know there's never a next time
The bees are busy,
Now there's gold on the hill
The branches waving
But our hearts are wrapped up inside
And then you leave me, so I start missing you a lot
No argument oh do I love you or not
No argument, you have all the love that I see as mine
Pull back your cover, I could love you for all time
But do it now you know there's never a next time
She said to leave it till the end of the party
How come the feeling that it's always just starting
The bees are busy
Now there's gold on the hill
The branches waving
But our hearts are wrapped up inside
And then you leave me so I start missing you a lot
No argument oh do I love you, I love you or not
Oh treat him like a baby please
Oh treat him like a baby please
Strength is not the same as anger
Put the taste back into hunger
Searching the box, looking for what?
I love you, I love you or not?
Strength is not the same as anger
Put the taste back into hunger
Searching the box looking for what?
Pushing the gear back into top?
Put the first back into class
Lose your bottle break the glass
You'll wind up high and dry with just this slow cold comfort
Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not?
Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not?
Oh treat him like a baby please
Love you or not?
Oh treat him like a baby please

Fast Car
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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I believe it's about a guy who's crushing on a woman. He wants to talk with her alone and confess his love, but she's too busy socializing to talk with him now. She wants to wait until the party has wound down, but he's worried that by then the timing will be wrong.
