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.
Hate your goddamn, motherfucking, shitty ass band
Hate the way you've got my back while you're holding out your hand
Hate the way you pussy's talk shit, hiding on the web
Just the fact you think you know me makes me fucked up in the head
Hate your nails, hate your hair, hate the fact I even care
Hate the way you said you loved me but you fucking weren't there
Hate your friends, hate your folks, hate your stupid fucking hopes
Hate the way I tried to change when the whole thing was a joke
I hate you
That's an understatement
I hate you
For who you are
I hate you
And all you stand for
I don't care
Anymore
I gave you
One hundred chances
You gave me
A hundred ways to hate
Hate your face, hate your lies and the blank look in your eyes
Hate your needs, hate your wants, hate the way you look and talk
Hate your voice, makes me cringe every time I hear you speak
It's uncomfortable to know you share the same air as me
Hate your lack of common sense and I'm tired of compromising
Take a good look in the end, 'cause it's just on the horizon
I've been wrong about a lot of shit, this I know is true
There's a hundred fucking things that I hate about you
I hate you
That's an understatement
I hate you
For who you are
I hate you
And all you stand for
I don't care
Anymore
I gave you
One hundred chances
You gave me
A hundred ways to hate
I hate you
One hundred ways
I don't care
One hundred ways to hate
I gave you
A million chances
You gave me
A hundred ways to hate
A hundred ways
A hundred ways to hate
Hate the way you've got my back while you're holding out your hand
Hate the way you pussy's talk shit, hiding on the web
Just the fact you think you know me makes me fucked up in the head
Hate your nails, hate your hair, hate the fact I even care
Hate the way you said you loved me but you fucking weren't there
Hate your friends, hate your folks, hate your stupid fucking hopes
Hate the way I tried to change when the whole thing was a joke
I hate you
That's an understatement
I hate you
For who you are
I hate you
And all you stand for
I don't care
Anymore
I gave you
One hundred chances
You gave me
A hundred ways to hate
Hate your face, hate your lies and the blank look in your eyes
Hate your needs, hate your wants, hate the way you look and talk
Hate your voice, makes me cringe every time I hear you speak
It's uncomfortable to know you share the same air as me
Hate your lack of common sense and I'm tired of compromising
Take a good look in the end, 'cause it's just on the horizon
I've been wrong about a lot of shit, this I know is true
There's a hundred fucking things that I hate about you
I hate you
That's an understatement
I hate you
For who you are
I hate you
And all you stand for
I don't care
Anymore
I gave you
One hundred chances
You gave me
A hundred ways to hate
I hate you
One hundred ways
I don't care
One hundred ways to hate
I gave you
A million chances
You gave me
A hundred ways to hate
A hundred ways
A hundred ways to hate

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"
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Punchline

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
While I don't know about what Motograter said or did, I also think it's about those asswipes on YouTube who say that the band sucks or compare it to another band/group (JB usually) "Hate your goddamn, motherfucking, shitty ass band"
And they usually do it on Five Finger's videos "Hate the way you've got my back while you're holding out your hand Hate the way you pussy's talk shit, hiding on the web"
The next line is pretty much self-explanatory "Just the fact you think you know me makes me fucked up in the head"
