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.
Tonight we're gonna rule the world again
Plug it in, steal the girls again
Scissor kicks, bitchin’ licks, and
Leather chaps, finger taps, and
Tonight we're gonna let the roof cave in
Raise hell, passing out again
Spandex, whipping necks, and
Mic stands, leopard head bands
Plug in, tune out, let’s start the show
Its time to throw down, here we go
Don't touch that volume button
We don't care if the SWAT team comes knockin'
Hey ho, Welcome to the Jungle
Oh no, where is Mr. Bungle?
Holiday in Cambodia
Help me, Knights of Cydonia
The Bulls are On Parade
There's Anarchy in the UK
Cities are On Flame With Rock and Roll tonight
Tonight we're getting metal signs and
They'll crowd surf, jump in time again
Keytars, whammy bars, and
High fives, stage dives, and
Tonight we're gonna melt your face and
There'll be pounding bass again
String bends, leather fringe, and
Motorbikes, metal spikes, and
Plug in, tune out, let’s start the show
Its time to throw down, here we go
Don't touch that volume button
We don't care if the SWAT team comes knockin
Hey ho, Hi, My Name Is Jonas
Oh no, our parents might disown us
Rock You Like a Hurricane
There's Cherub Rocks in LA Grange
The Mississippi Queen
She just won't Talk Dirty to Me
Story of My Life is just Rock and Roll All Nite
We got burn outs and in house we're down to play
And if your down with the sound, let me hear you say
We're no sell-outs so you can put your cash away
‘Cause the basement stays open, like, early-late
We got burn outs and in house we're down to play
And if your down with the sound, let me hear you say
We're no sell-outs so you can put your cash away
‘Cause the basement stays open, like, early-late
Hey ho, Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Oh no, Sabotage, I can't stop
The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Pride and Joy with a Barracuda
It's Raining Blood on me
The Cult of Personality
The Number of the Beast is One…
Hey ho, Welcome to the Jungle
Oh no, where is Mr. Bungle?
Holiday in Cambodia
Help me, Knights of Cydonia
The Bulls are On Parade
There's Anarchy in the UK
Cities are On Flame With Rock and Roll tonight
Plug it in, steal the girls again
Scissor kicks, bitchin’ licks, and
Leather chaps, finger taps, and
Tonight we're gonna let the roof cave in
Raise hell, passing out again
Spandex, whipping necks, and
Mic stands, leopard head bands
Plug in, tune out, let’s start the show
Its time to throw down, here we go
Don't touch that volume button
We don't care if the SWAT team comes knockin'
Hey ho, Welcome to the Jungle
Oh no, where is Mr. Bungle?

Help me, Knights of Cydonia

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Holy fucking shit that's great.
The chorus' are made up from the titles of all the songs in Guitar Hero 3 .. even the guitar solo is from one of them, dunno which one
the solo is a combination of lots of solos from the game
