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.
Dear loved one Please listen
This might be the last chance I get
I'm sorry I left you I'm living in a world of regret
Don't cry if you can hear me
I never meant to hurt you dearly
I'm so wrong sincerely stop take life seriously
These are the last words
I'm ever gonna get to say to you
When everything falls away from you
Take these words and know that
the world is not worth leaving
there's so much I've done wrong
Since I left it hit me so strong
Take my hand and lets walk through
All the times I've lied and hurt you
Those people please love them
Don't hate them we're not above them
You can have everything but have nothing
Listen I've got to tell you something
These are the last words
I'm ever gonna get to say to you
When everything falls away from you
Take these words and know that
the world is not worth leaving
Last words I'll ever really get to say to you
So listen very carefully to what I'm saying
Life is more then just the games your playing
If there was ever one thing
I could ever get across to you
I'd tell you not to say the things you do
And tell my mother that I love her too
No matter what life pulls ya through
You've got what its takes to make it through
And if I was you I'd get down on my knees and pray
Thank God in the morning for another day
'cause These are the last words
I'm ever gonna get to say to you
When everything falls away from you
Take these words and know that
the world is not worth leaving
Last words I'll ever really get to say to you
So listen very carefully to what I'm saying
Life is more then just the games you're playing
Life is more than just the games you're playing!
This might be the last chance I get
I'm sorry I left you I'm living in a world of regret
Don't cry if you can hear me
I never meant to hurt you dearly
I'm so wrong sincerely stop take life seriously
These are the last words
I'm ever gonna get to say to you
When everything falls away from you
Take these words and know that
the world is not worth leaving
there's so much I've done wrong
Since I left it hit me so strong
Take my hand and lets walk through
All the times I've lied and hurt you
Those people please love them
Don't hate them we're not above them
You can have everything but have nothing
Listen I've got to tell you something
These are the last words
I'm ever gonna get to say to you
When everything falls away from you
Take these words and know that
the world is not worth leaving
Last words I'll ever really get to say to you
So listen very carefully to what I'm saying
Life is more then just the games your playing
If there was ever one thing
I could ever get across to you
I'd tell you not to say the things you do
And tell my mother that I love her too
No matter what life pulls ya through
You've got what its takes to make it through
And if I was you I'd get down on my knees and pray
Thank God in the morning for another day
'cause These are the last words
I'm ever gonna get to say to you

Take these words and know that
the world is not worth leaving
Last words I'll ever really get to say to you
So listen very carefully to what I'm saying
Life is more then just the games you're playing
Life is more than just the games you're playing!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
People say this song is about someone who is writing a letter to a loved one who wants to commit suicide. Thousand Foot Krutch is my all time favorite band and ive listened to all of their songs(even small to say, feel the place go boom, and heat miser) a billion times. Last Words does have lines that make you think that, but i dont really think that way because i have listened to this song and played this song on guitar for friends who want to give up their life. I feel like at times this song is someone saying an apology to someone they've hurt in other ways then suicide. Trevor McNeavan (or whoever it could apply to) is giving out an apology to his family for leaving them like they were nothing. His/Her mom doesnt feel like suicide but maybe his/her father or brother or sister or other family member who is sensitive and might have problems with suicide. The opening verse to the sounds like an apology letter so that's how it makes me think of an apology letter. This is an amazing song and i love to play for people because i do my best to show love to those who need it most. God bless:)
