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.
Ooh
Strip down for Kali baby
Ooh
Set it up for Kali baby
[Verse 1:]
She act like she don't like me
Said my type is not likely
So get close to her slightly
Ooh
Jeans fitted so tightly
She must have known my name is Kali baby
And I be the one that's drivin' all them girlies crazy (big boy)
I'll be your captain
We'll get it crackin'
Call me if you're ready for action
[Chorus:]
Butt naked fun (fun, girl get ready for the)
Butt naked fun (she keep givin' me love)
Butt naked fun (I'm a give it to)
Butt naked fun (oh yeah)
Butt naked fun (she keep givin me love)
Butt naked fun (I hope you're ready for the)
Butt naked fun (she givin' it up)
Butt naked fun (it's automatic)
[Verse 2:]
We start on the floor (work our way to the bed)
And I can give you more (if ya do what I say)
Stop it (stop it)
You doin' it on purpose (carpet)
If we dunk it up it might burn out
Do you got a sweet tooth (let me unwrap it)
I see what I want, let me grab it
Can I be your candy boy
Strip down right where you are (and get ready for love)
[Chorus:]
Butt naked fun (let me get it)
Butt naked fun (can I touch ya)
Butt naked fun (she givin' it up)
Butt naked fun (can I get that)
Butt naked fun (I'm a give it to)
Butt naked fun (girl get ready for the)
Butt naked fun (she keep givin' me love)
Butt naked fun (it's automatic)
[Verse 3:]
Ooh
Let me in the middle
Ooh
I just want a little
Ooh
Baby let me middle
Ooh
Girl you're so ghetto
[Chorus:]
Butt naked fun (it feels like)
Butt naked fun (I'm a give it to)
Butt naked fun (get the baby oil)
Butt naked fun (and take your socks off)
Butt naked fun (I'm a give it to)
Butt naked fun (strip down for love)
She keep givin' me love
Butt naked fun (it's automatic)
Strip down for Kali baby

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
