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.
Fellas? Yeah! Hit me!
Are we ready? I do believe we are ready
What time is it?
It's killing time, Morris!
I know that's right, 'cause I am the latest fashion
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris
Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris
Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris
Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris
Go Morris, go Morris)
I know I said I loved you
I know I said I needed you
I know I said that I'd be here always
But I what I didn't tell you is that
This year the latest fashion is to lie in the heat of passion
This year the latest fashion is to lie in the heat of passion
People tell us what we want to hear
This time the tables are turned
This time we're the ones that's painting fires
Instead of getting burned
This year the latest fashion is to lie in the heat of passion
This year the latest fashion is to lie in the heat of passion
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)
Jellybean (go Morris)
Don't be so mean (go Morris)
Cowboy (ow)
You're fired
Jam Jimmy, jam Jimmy, jam Jimmy, jam Jimmy
Jam Jimmy, jam Jimmy, jam Jimmy, jam
People tell me what I want to hear
This time the tables are turned
Jerome, body language
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)
Now do the horse
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)
Oak Tree!
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)
I like that
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)
Oak Tree!
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)
Get ready, chili sauce!
This year the latest fashion is to lie in the heat of passion
Fellas? (Yeah)
Hit me, and don't ya lag
Tell me what dance to do
It starts with an M (Murph Drag)
I ain't through yet, band
What, hallelujah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Everybody want to tell me how to play the game
When I run it better than a Madame runs dames
Trying to beat me like playing pool with a rope
My funk will leave ya dead 'cause it's good and plenty dope
All in all I'm still the king and all y'all the court
If you thinking about ruling me ya better get abortions, yes
It's jacked, 'cause I'm back, and I'm harder than a heart attack
And I'm the cure for any disease 'cause there ain't nobody funky like me
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)
Don't be a fool
(Go Morris, go Morris, go Morris)

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 song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
