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.
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
Narcotic this window meth merchant
Shippin' and handlin' your life supply
Time to get up and wipe the eye boogers out my eye
What y'all tryna buy pimpin', why'know it's kinda dry
Yeah, I only gotta couple of pies left
That'll last me through the year
Doula, ice cream candy
Man, that shit be comin' in handy
It's real walkie talkie
I got that from the DB's, my cousin, work dirty
If you want 'em, I got 'em, you up to cop it
You better be about your grit
Devour any cowards, sours slippery at the lip
Beast up, suck up to none, don't be no sucker
Be a block monster, be a reputable motherfucka
Real mash with my Spanish
If ain't about no gouda, partner, you can vanish
Don't get put up in your place
Give me 40 feet and an ounce of space
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
Now-A-Later's, Gum Drops, Jelly Beans
Lollipops and triple beams
Blue Carpet, yeah, that's Tha Treatment
Candy so sweet, got everybody eatin' it
Bigg Snoop Dogg, I'm the star of this
So go on and get yourself a bar of this
No change, man, gimme the bucks
The kinda candy I sell, they call it 'Deez Nutz'
I'm almond with the caramel insides
You appear frontin' with the French fries
How it feel, man? What it look like?
I'm in your neighborhood, pullin' on some Bud Light
Sweet and sticky, take it out the wrapper
Now put it in your mouth
To the beat of the drum, it'll be fun
And I bet you can't just eat one, candy
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
I'm in the hood with the six-trey candy paint
Lil' somethin' to chunk, make the *** all faint
If you know when to beep, jump my baby rate
When I grip round her butt, I hold her steady
Yeah, she my one and only
Quick to keep back haters who don't know me
I feel good about candy
My gangstas understand me
Shake it, baby, don't break it baby
Now can you make it clap?
Tryna fit this work in your gap
Drop it like it water pagoda, get my hustle on
I get it from you, then I step on it to bubble on
It's gettin' sweeter than a sugar cane
Here come that sugar daddy, black, rollin' on gold thangs
Fo'shigiddy, he turned it into somethin', boy
'Cause I can't leave this filthy game without my Almond Joy
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
It's like candy, candy
Get it how you want it
Whip it, twist it, pop your whip up on the corner
While I tadaa check out this bizarre
The D A T, the N I double G, the D A Z
Again, it's up in the wind, feel the breeze for s***
Goddamn, you already know who I am
Chrome on chrome, blue on blue, frost colors switches
Hit the gas, hit the brake, y'all really burn rubber?
Dip, drop, drop, dip
Stop, dip, ghost ride the whip
Yeah, *** shot caller
It's America's number one baller
Man, I don't give a *** like, "*** it"
High riders, slide in the bucket
Little momma all up on a *** like a coat
I got the perfect thang that'll coat her throat
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
Three thousand **** pieces, you understand me?
I wish a *** would come in this ***
If I see Suge right now, I'd tell him, "Hey, how you doin', Suge?"
I didn't even know you were standin' there, *** my bad
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water

Fast Car
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.

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead

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.
