Oaken rod system show me sloping earlobes
The patient unlisted bit my lip sir
Basing the feeling off weed, Go!
But my Achilles is a shortly written poem

Go loco, slow from dro, broke your nose
Scraping my bristle missile, Go!

My cost is cheap, my words are deep,
Cutting right through your soul,
Sad to see the lights burn out,
Sad to see the lights burn out,
Sad to see the lights,
My words are cheap.

Another sucker punch
You were late for dinner, I was late for lunch
You wanna know the truth?
I eat alotta soup
What's it like to punch a drum
So belong and hold it tightly son
You wanna know the truth?
I eat alotta soup

Such slow stoic teeth of mine
Box him in
Uncle Leo is between your thighs
Your soak in rusting these slope driven pots n pans
No time to rush him, delete my deleted land
Yo who proves to me to believe what you need without me
Who proves to believe in me
Yo who proves to believe without me
Don't believe that you're with me, just to believe
Just to and just to and just to and just to believe

Blow out your lungs,
Let your mouth fill with blood,
Stop, hang on my every word,
Because I promise I'm coming back.

I blocked your three point shot, you get caught napping a lot
Your handles worse than Chris A. when he's high on pot
You're like an epileptic version of a ballet dancer
KG might say that you have cancer

Blow out your lungs,
Let your mouth fill with blood,
Stop, hang on my every word,
Because I promise I'm coming back,
Blow out your lungs,
Let your mouth fill with blood,
Stop, hang on my every word,
Because I promise it's gonna be your last.

    (Oaken rod system show me sloping earlobes) (The patient unlisted bit my lip sir) (Basing the feeling off weed, Go!) (But my Achilles is a shortly written poem.)

    (Go loco, slow from dro, broke your nose,) (Scraping my bristle missile, Go!)

    My cost is cheap My words are deep Cutting right through your soul It's sad to see the lights burn out It's sad to see the lights burn out. Burn my words unchanged.

    (Another sucker punch,) (You were late for dinner, I was late for lunch.) (You wanna know the truth?) (I eat a lotta soup) (What’s it like to punch a drum,) (So belong and hold it tightly son.) (You wanna know the truth?) (I eat a lotta soup.)

    Oh, no.

    (Such slow stoic teeth of mine) (Box him in, uncle Leo is between your thighs) (Your soak in rusting these slope driven pots 'n pans) (No time to rush him, delete my deleted land) (Yo who proves to me to believe what you need without me) (Who proves to believe in me) (Yo who proves to believe without me,) (Don’t believe that you’re with me, just to believe,) (Just to and just to and just to and just to believe.)

    Blow up your lungs Let your mouth fill with blood Stop hang on my every word Because I promise I'm coming back.

    My Interpretation

    Another Sucker punch you were late for dinner i was late for lunch:means she/he did a bitch hit and started purposely fucking em over cause shes immature and she in a sense seeks some way of getting back at him

    you wanna know the truth?i eat alotta soup:basically he takes so much bullshit from a lot of things

    whats it like to punch a drum so belong and hold it tightly son:it could either mean whats it like to be the one that hurts people so brace yourself or it could mean its a pattern of what goes on it happens continually

    idk what the (Oaken rod system show me sloping earlobes)prolly means listen to me or lend an ear idk

    (The patient unlisted bit my lip sir)again idk prolly talkin about an unamable or unmentionable person hurt or something

    (Basing the feeling off weed, Go!)prolly sauing hes high so hes talking about how it wont affect em

    (But my Achilles is a shortly written poem)it means his pain is only temporary

    (Go loco, slow from dro, broke your nose)talkin about being high on weed

    (Scraping my bristle missile, Go!)idk pulling his chain?

    (Another sucker punch You were late for dinner, I was late for lunch You wanna know the truth? I eat alotta soup) pretty much another bitch hit the other person did something intentionally just cuz he did it first and unintentional you wana know whats up i take a lot of crap )

    (What's it like to punch a drum So belong and hold it tightly son) idk it could mean whats it like to do something continually persistent so brace yourself for the same )

    (Such slow stoic teeth of mine)my ability to take pain

    (Box him in Uncle Leo is between your thighs)well it could mean be all up on the sack like the horoscope leo how theyr all up on their lovers sack

    (Your soak in rusting these slope driven pots n pans)i guess it means youre the cause because when metal gets wet it rusts and rots it so basically the problem

    (No time to rush him, delete my deleted land Yo who proves to me to believe what you need without me Who proves to believe in me Yo who proves to believe without me Don't believe that you're with me, just to believe Just to and just to and just to and just to believe)

    i have no idea what any of this means a video game?

    (I blocked your three point shot, you get caught napping a lot Your handles worse than Chris A. when he's high on pot You're like an epileptic version of a ballet dancer KG might say that you have cancer)

    that person sucks at basketball he was moves ahead of em that person is a worse illusionist than chris angel when hes fucked up youre a shitty version of what you claim to be

    and thats it idk thats my interpretation

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Plastic Bag
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.
