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.
Come be a douche cake with me-e,
Come be a douche cake, with ME-E-E-E-E-E
Come be a douche cake with me, e
Come be a douche cake, a with me
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh, oh
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh, oh
Take a green sock, out of your drawer,
Turn the fan to high
Throw the sock watch it fly all over,
And they'll think, you are high
Who put the spaghetti in the doghouse?
Who left the spaghetti I must know (it's boss)
Who put the spaghetti in the doghouse
Because they forgot the sauce
Come be a douche cake with me-e,
Come be a douche cake, with ME-E-E-E-E-E
Come be a douche cake with me, e
Come be a douche cake, a with me
Get a lolipop
Unlock your car door
Stick it into the ignition (ROCK!)
Before going to the STORE!!!!
Who left the cake out in the rain?
Who left the cake out I must know (Hope it's chocolate!)
Who left the cake out in the rain
It's gonna get wet you KNOW!!!!!
Come be a jerk-face with me, e
Come be a butt-head with me-e-e-e-e
Come be a pothead with me (Just kidding)
Come be a douche cake with meeeeeee
Come be a horny apple with me, e (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Come be a fuck-up with me, e (whoa whoa whoa whoa
Come be a idiot with me, (whoa whoa whoaaa)
Come be a douche cake with me... WhooooA!
{Instrumental)
If I were a pumpkin
I would taste sweet
I would be full of seeds
I would like to be carved
I'd want to sit on your front window and glow
AHHHHH!!!
If I were a pumpkin I would greet trick-or-treaters
I would wish for fall to last longer
I would love to smile brightly
I would listen to kids asking for treats
I would watch kids pick me from a pumpkin patch
AHHHHH!!!
You may take my head top off
TAKE OUT MY INSIDES AND NEVER STOP!
Carve a face in my own body
Make sure it belongs to me...
I could do worse things
I'd love to scream in pain
I'd make you scream again
I'd find myself in deeper shit when
The knife strikes again
Said the knife strikes again
Dammit carve a face on my ass!
Leave me on your front porch and gasp
Place a candle in my head, just wait what I wood
When I'm dead and gone you'll THROW ME IN THE WOODS!!!
I could do worse things
I'd love to scream in pain
I'd make you scream again
I'd find myself in deeper shit when
The knife strikes again
Said the knife strikes again
THE KNIFE STRIKES AGAIN
THE KNIFE STRIKES AGAIN!
Come be a douche cake, with ME-E-E-E-E-E
Come be a douche cake with me, e
Come be a douche cake, a with me
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh, oh
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh, oh

Who put the spaghetti in the doghouse

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

I think this is against the law that says citizens can carry around guns in public.
