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.
A silent heart ticking under the ground.
Taking the weight from which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the one who loved you after all.
A silent heart ticking under the ground.
Taking the weight from which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the who loved you after all.
A silent heart ticking under the ground.
Taking the weight of which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the one who cared after all.
A silent heart ticking under the ground.
Taking the weight from which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the who loved you after all.
Taking the weight from which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the one who loved you after all.
A silent heart ticking under the ground.
Taking the weight from which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the who loved you after all.
A silent heart ticking under the ground.
Taking the weight of which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the one who cared after all.
A silent heart ticking under the ground.
Taking the weight from which has yet to be found.
If you can hear me now why don't you recall.
I was the who loved you after all.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
The lyrics make me think of 2 things. A: You were younger, in your tweens and your best friend was a girl. But, as you moved into middle school she was taken away from you by another boy. A jock, more likely.Your feelings are deeply buried inside pf you about her, but they still there. This explains A silent heart ticking under the ground. Taking the weight from which has yet to be found. Then, you always wish you could go back and tell her the feelings you had about her.If you can hear me now why don't you recall. I was the one who loved you after all.
B. You recieve news from your girlfriends/boyfriends parents saying they had apparently commited suicide.A silent heart ticking under the ground. They were buried, even before they could tell you their feelings about you.Taking the weight from which has yet to be found, means that you sadly return back to your life with a sad weight dragging you down. If you can hear me now why don't you recall. This explains you wishing that you could die just to be with her. I was the one who loved you after all. This shows that you loved her the most of all people, and are sad she had to die this way.
-These are my interpretations of the song Summit, by Skrillex. They may not be spot on, but this is the best i could interperate from the lyrics.
