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.
He talking to me
Like I'm a groupie
He's at the bar and
He wanna touch my booty
We all broke in this club
I'm tryna leave so so what's up,
No drink left in my cup
Better wake your soldier up
Don't want love just gimme your bling bling
Listen to me boy 'cause I need your thing thing
Hey there boy, not tryna be funny
I'm a big girl and I need the money
[x2]

Let me see your body work work
Work your body till you make your body hurt hurt
(Kaboom)
Can you get in my system?
I go fast, I leave him in the dirt dirt

Bang bang boy wanna beat on my drum?
Beat on my drum cause you know I come come

Baby that shit's expensive
I've got the stuff like egyptian queens
Stop messing round cause you know what I mean
Wanna bang on my drum
Cause you know I come come
Don't want love just gimme your bling bling
Listen to me boy 'cause I need your thing thing
Hey there boy, not tryna be funny
I'm a big girl and I need the money

(Kaboom)
Let me see your body work work
Work your body till you make your body hurt hurt

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i luv dis song so effin much!!!
its all about dis girl not wantin luv just wanting money [preety obvious] i mean shes a big girl!!!
i luv lady gaga!!! =DDDD
<333333
It sounds like it's about prostitution....
"Don't want love just gimme your bling bling Listen to me boy 'cause I need your thing thing Hey there boy, not tryna be funny I'm a big girl and I need the money"
She's going to bang him for the cash and run.
I have always liked this song cause its fun to dance to or whatever, but I was just listening to it and I finally get it. (SLOW MOMENT)
I think it's talking about a stripper "We're all broke in this club" Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive, If that includes selling you're body because it's the only way you know how, I'm sorry to hear that but handle your business.
