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.

I like the way
The way she dance (OHH!)(HAAA! HAAA!)
She take the thug
Put 'em in a trance (OHH!)(HAAA! HAAA!)
She shake her ass
Like an avalanche (HAAA!)(OHH!)
Lookin to her eyes (HAAA! HAAA! HAAA!)
And you takin' the chance
I see the fire in her eyes
Fire in here eyes (YEAAAH!)
The way she move
She got the fire in her eyes!
Fire on her waist
Fire in her thighs (YEAAAH!)
BUT I LOVE THE SCANDAAAAAAAAL
She's so DANGEROUUUUUUUUS (Dangerous)
She's so DANGEROUUUUUUUUS (Dangerous)
She's so SCANDOLOUUUUUUUS (Scandolous)
I LOVE THE SCANDAAAAAAAAL
HEAR ME SING!
Woooohoooo hear she comes!
Watch out boys
She'll chew you up
She's DANGEROUUUUUUS (Dangerous)

[Kaine]
She fiRe, She fine
She heals, She mine
Black Barbie

She got hundred men and ?boosting?
I ain't really trying to let you in
But you can spend your Benjamins
Make no mistake in fact it she your friend
Pisses all about differences!
WAIT! She like to play games
And she don't care who she play wit'
She do what she do
And she gon' get what she gon' get
She hit the strip club
And she gon' make her money quick
Shakin ass on the pole
And best believe the mamma thick

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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

Ed Sheeran
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.
