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.
Oh that's crazy
Swizz and Busta
Come on
Right before we run it all in the ground
Motherfuckers know we shuttin' it down
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Motherfuckers want to give me a pound
Every time we bring you niggas to say
We dare y'all to say somethin'
You can sit and watch and gamble around
Motherfuckers no we holdin' the crown
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Before we flood this shit that'll go through your whole town
Motherfuckers know we makin' y'all drown
I dare y'all
Hey yo, Busta Rhymes holdin' the fort
Read the report, MVP of the sport
You need to be taught, come on
Snort whatever you snort, we comin' up court
You know we never comin' up short
So fuck what you thought
We high profile for this shit, I smile for this shit
I stack dough and make all my people just wil' for this shit
Hold it now, we rollin' it down, we holdin' it down
Thick money, foldin' it down in a hole in the ground
Stash more loot than before, a brute from before
Tell the truth and get used to leavin' you boots at the door
We four, five, sixin' it up, we fixin' it up
We keep the bitches strippin' the way we be mixin' it up
Come out from wherever you are, whoever you are
Incredible performance, their so unforgettable star
They'll never find the get because I threw the barreta too far
Police go drive my whip, so I'm going to get a new car, what the fuck
Right before we run it all in the ground
Motherfuckers know we shuttin' it down
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Motherfuckers want to give me a pound
Every time we bring y'all niggas to say
We dare y'all to say somethin'
You can sit and watch and gamble around
Motherfuckers no we holdin' the crown
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Before we flood this shit that'll go through your whole town
Motherfuckers know we makin' y'all drown
I dare y'all
I was born in the ghetto, raised in the ghetto
I was born in the ghetto, raised in the ghetto
I bang out beats by cars and ho stacks
Rap nigga puttin' out rock-n-roll tracks
Anything with wheels, playa I drove that
Y'all, six, Swizz and Busta back
I be hearin' that I'm drugged out
Because I be bangin' them beats like I'm drugged out
I threw gerdems on the bus, threw the dubs out
One, niggas gettin' robbed when the clubs out
Dog, and it gets ugly, and the hood loves me
And your chick know me, plus your man owes me
That clown don't pay
They straight killin' homie
Y'all don't gotta like me, screw y'all, blow me
I walk up in the club, bitches want to go to breakfast
Clowns lookin' at me, niggas actin' reckless
Right before we run it all in the ground
Motherfuckers know we shuttin' it down
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Motherfuckers want to give me a pound
Every time we bring y'all niggas to say
We dare y'all to say somethin'
You can sit and watch and gamble around
Motherfuckers no we holdin' the crown
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Before we flood this shit that'll go through your whole town
Motherfuckers know we makin' y'all drown
I dare y'all
I put my foot in your ass just like a kung-fu flick
Bust my tool quick hittin' with the force of a mule kick
Spit fly shit as if I was baggin' a new chick
Instead of bitin' mines, it be best you bite on the chew stick
Funny how niggas be tryin' to do shit
When I rock a light bling all my pinky gleam in the blue shit
Bitches lovin' the way we always pass through shit
The way we rep the gutter and bring you the brand new shit
Double back, y'all niggas don't really want to trouble that
Brass knuckle beat you stupid, with a belt buckle rap
Couple cracks, some weed, back when we used to muscle that
And take a niggas shit like we like we fightin' to get our hustle back
Used to be the shit, now you writin' your suicidal rap
Frontin' like your the champ, fightin' to get your title back
Remind me that, this could even cause a homicidal act
And if you blamin' the music then watch me write the title track
The way that we kill and make you wanna cop that
Fuckin' with corny niggas you need to stop that shit
Come on, please just let a nigga pop that shit
All in they trunk, you know you want to rock that
Stay reppin' the struggle, busy pullin' my man's up
Shit we givin' y'all niggas might even swell y'all glands up
Stop, all of my niggas, all of my bitches stand up
And rep whatever you reppin' and put your fuckin' hands up
Right before we run it all in the ground
Motherfuckers know we shuttin' it down
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Motherfuckers want to give me a pound
Every time we bring y'all niggas to say
We dare y'all to say somethin'
You can sit and watch and gamble around
Motherfuckers no we holdin' the crown
I dare y'all to say somethin'
Before we flood this shit that'll go through your whole town
Motherfuckers know we makin' y'all drown
I dare y'all
Yeah, Endalay, Endalay
Arriba, Arriba, motherfucker
Come on, Endalay, move from around these parts
Motherfucker, come on, Endalay, huh
Arriba, Arriba motherfucker
Come on, Endalay, Endalay, Endalay

You can sit and watch and gamble around

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"
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
