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 and I left alone, cannot be trusted
There's a lust, we can't control
Slowly undress, chest to chest
And unless I say goodnight
I know we're only gonna move too far
Please, I'm not quite ready for that next level
One kiss and that spells trouble
You could talk me in, talk me into it
If you wanted to do
You could talk me in, talk me into it
If you only knew
Yeah, I'm likin', I'm likin' the way you do-o-o-o
What you do-o-o-o to me
I, I don't wanna lose control
Control, control, control
But then again, I think I wanna lose control
Control, control, control
Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
You and me, that equals
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of
I get down, I surprise you
Don't you push me, let me in your crib today
Next day I'll snatch the goods away
You're not listenin', watch me now
'Cause I'm a good girl, but I can be bad
You're not quite there, you're not on my level
Trust me for you, I'm trouble
You could talk me in, talk me into it
If you wanted to do
You could talk me in, talk me into it
If you only knew
Yeah, I'm likin', I'm likin' the way you do-o-o-o
What you do-o-o-o to me
I, I don't wanna lose control
Control, control, control
But then again, I think I wanna lose control
Control, control, control
Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble

This is a warning, I'm warning you

But boy, you're playin' it wrong

You're really really lookin' like you wanna do somethin'
Like, like you wanna do somethin'
Boy, you better get it right
If you don't, you're gonna mess around and do somethin'
You're gonna mess around and do somethin'

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
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.
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.
Love this song! She should have put this on the album as a normal song instead of a bonus and gotten rid of Mmmm Papi... Has a beat reminiscent of Get Together by Madonna as well, but I think thats just cuz Bloodshy & Avant did both tracks....
I agree, this is a much better song
i love this, zmfg.
I think the lyrics are:
Boy you better get right (get it right), If you don't (if you don't), You're gonna mess around and, Lose somethin', You're gonna mess around and, Lose somethin'.
Why are britney's best songs always bonus tracks???
