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.
Yeah - yeah - yeah - yeah
all you guys better know the first verse
are you ready now
alright
She walked across the dance floor that night
she was dressed to kill
she was a sexy lady
she had to get her thrill
How'd she get him
how'd she know
and all the music - the beat - the tempo
she was all up for that night
she was in for a fright
standby
Back in the house for the year 2000
yeah - yeah - funky - yeah
she's a craic - she's a craic
she's a maniac
Alright
she walked across the dance floor that night
she was dressed to kill
she was a sexy lady
she had to get her thrill
How'd she get him
how'd she know
and all the music - to beat - the tempo
she was all up for that night
she was in for a fright
She said: "Greetings"
hold tight with a new jam
hold tight with the mic in the left hand
it's me and I'm up on the groove tip
are you ready now move to the roof
Now life; It has no meaning
are you ready now - move to the madness
on a party night to you
we bring this groove to you
Are you ready now - move to the groove
put your hands up in the air
one simple question to answer
"Are. You. Ready!?"
Every single person in the house tonight
lets hear you singing she's a maniac
she's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancin'
and she's dancin' like she never did before
right here on the Dublin dance floor
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancin'
and she's dancin' like she never did before
audience participation time
She said put your hands in the air
side to side like you just don't care
everybody in the house on the party night
scream it back to me
Oggie Oggie Oggie
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Rock it rock it baby baby
rock it rock it more
rock it rock it baby baby
rock it rock it dance floor
5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
take this house to the - maximum
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she's dancin'
and she's dancin' like she never did before
the grand finale
This story has come real far
four years later now here we are
M.A.N.
I.A.C.

to the place to be

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
