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.
Haters always gunna hate
Haters always gunna hate
But maybe if you all just stopped
and stepped up to the fucking plate
then we could all be mates
Haters always gunna hate, gunna hate
Haters always gunna hate, gunna hate
but maybe if they just stopped
ah nah fuck it, I fuckin' love it
it's all just fun and games
Haters always gunna hate
Haters always gunna hate
But maybe if you all just stopped
and stepped up to the fucking plate
then we could all be mates
10k here hitting it hard,
two EPs in half a year
and still more on the cards
big ups to my crew
y'all should know who you are
and how much I owe to you
cTrix you're a king
for recording me again
and to my supportive friends
the local scene on which I depend
you mean the world to me
as does the rest of the chip community
Thank you for your hate, hate, hate
Thank you for your hate, hate, hate
10k fucking rules
Haters always gunna hate
But maybe if you all just stopped
and stepped up to the fucking plate
then we could all be mates
Haters always gunna hate, gunna hate
Haters always gunna hate, gunna hate
but maybe if they just stopped
ah nah fuck it, I fuckin' love it
it's all just fun and games
Haters always gunna hate
Haters always gunna hate
But maybe if you all just stopped
and stepped up to the fucking plate
then we could all be mates
10k here hitting it hard,
two EPs in half a year
and still more on the cards
big ups to my crew
y'all should know who you are
and how much I owe to you
cTrix you're a king
for recording me again
and to my supportive friends
the local scene on which I depend
you mean the world to me
as does the rest of the chip community
Thank you for your hate, hate, hate
Thank you for your hate, hate, hate
10k fucking rules
