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.
Missy, ha ha, yeah, I like that
Uh, it's the Q to the, B to the, double E, spittin' lovely
And it don't stop, rocks shine through my tank top
Where your bank stop, I deposit all the one drops (ha)
Think not, excuse me but uh I like to flow
'Cause this joint knocks harder then Indica and
I be off the wall like the Lox, night box filled with Benjamins
Me and my girl Missy gettin' pissy up in Bennigans
Makin' all you other rappers begin again, like Fennigan
Christians repent, then sin again, girls wanna be my friend again
Lay up in my crib up wit', get up in my linens and
While misdemeanor hit notes like Sarafinna, I subpeona you
To my funk grooves, see, I hit you wit' the huh
She wit' ya with the hee
It wasn't your car that had me all in love with you (you)
'Cause I've got my own ride and a trunk full of tunes, yeah (tunes)
I drive through your hood
And I hit 'em with the
I hit 'em with the hee
I hit 'em with the
I stop 'em with the ha (I stop 'em with the ha)
Ooh, let's drink to you (let's drink to you and me)
And me (let's drink to you and me)
Meet me at the bar (hee ha, hee ha)
It wasn't your money that had me all sprung out (say what, say what?)
(Sprung out, sprung out, sprung out)
'Cause I got my own account and my bills in large amount
Ayy, ayy, ayy
I drive through your hood, and I
I hit 'em with the hee
I hit 'em with the (I hit 'em)
I stop 'em with the ha (I hit 'em wit' the hee, I hit 'em wit' the ha)
Let's drink (let's drink to you and me)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Long Iced Tea slurp me swiftly (say what?) meet me at the bar (say what?)
What's up star? We know who you are (uh huh)
Shit, no shit I thought you hadn't noticed
The way I roll this Dutch, the way I roll this Dutch
Niggas love my style too much (ha ha)
Duck, here comes the shot, bang, bang, brrt, drop
Me and Timbaland, like ha, we takin' over blocks
Like a one billion bitch march
I hit 'em with the hee

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.

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.
