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.
Spin that shit
Word
Bitch
1-800-Zombie are skilled at what they do
They drop rhymes every second just to annoy you
We've got the synth beats, the vocals that blow your minds
All you have to do is remember to get to the shows on time
We've got two young ladies that possess big ol' booties
And all the boys want to jump on the fuckin' goody goodies
When you hear our songs, you know they make you get busy
But that's okay, we approve of the nitty gritty
The zombies got the funk that makes you jump
You will get your GameBoys quick or just straight up pump
The zombies got the funk that makes you jump
You will get your GameBoys quick or just straight up hump
We don't fuck around with you kids when it comes to games
It's just how we live our lives; the Yoshi Yoshi way
I hope that you can handle all the delicious that we got
Because the way that we push the button, we're sure to make you hot
The zombies got the funk that makes you jump
You will get your GameBoys quick or just straight up pump
The zombies got the funk that makes you jump
You will get your GameBoys quick or just straight up hump
I hope you got it down about just what we do
We will LOL all over, all over you
You don't mess with us because our flow is so phat
I guess I'll leave it here
I guess that is that

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
