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.
All I got this year,
was a fucking head to tear.
Presents wrapped with greed,
turn your back and walk away.
Merry fucking christmas!
Give it away!
Merry fucking christmas!
Give it away!
Merry fucking christmas!
Give it away!
Merry fucking christmas!
Don't forget your Christmas cheer.
'Cause Santa's going to die this year.
Santa's going to die!
Santa's going to die!!

Here's his number, girls and boys:
847-400-48, 1 and 4.
You better call him, he's in Fall Out Boy, you better call him.
All I want this year,
is a model and a beer.
My queen will rule you all,
fuck this world and deck the halls.
Don't forget your Christmas cheer.
'Cause Santa's going to die this year.
Santa's going to die!
Santa's going to die!

The Night We Met

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"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This is my favourite Christmas song ever. I love the screaming in it, the song is almost all screaming, hehe. The Fall Out Boy thing was kinda random, though Fall Out Boy rocks! I don't understand the song right now but SANTA'S GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!! Yay.
well sammy we all know you did the first comment bwhaahaha SANTAS GOING TO DIE
i like this song but whats up with the Fall Out Boy part. is that seriously his number. if its not whoever has that number is gonna be getting a LOT of calls from stupid teenies.
It really was Pete Wentz's cell phone number. He has since gotten it changed. FFTL and Fall Out Boy are buddies, because they both make music that they don't even like. The point is that they're both a joke. They don't like the pop-punk shit the write. Thus all the sarcasm and crap in their lyrics.
And Pete Wentz gave out one of the guitarist's phone numbers after he heard this song.
wait hold on here:
why do they make the music if they don't even like it? i can only come up with one good reason: MONEY. oh and attention. because they're obviously not doing it to make good music...
i think you guys would all benefit from going to the following websites:

I myself think the Fallout boy thing is for the mainstream faggots listening to the song. Thus, Fallout boys fan will call the number because it's Pete Wentz's. Blow me.
are you sure that thats true? i was thinking maybe he had something against pete wentz and fallout boy and wanted to make fun of the mainstream media, and bands like fallout boy. i think its pretty fucking funny to be honest.
all i know is this is the best xmas song ever :D
Haha. I love this song.
Man, someone REALLY hate's Christmas here.
Haha, is it even Sonny Moore who sings this ?
Is Sonny only on the second cd?
Best Christmas song EVER.
