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.
I like to get my fuckin' fade on
I'm feeling sexy, I'm like (Ooh)
Them haters tryin' to get their hate on
But I'm too sexy, I'm like (Ooh)
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like
Like a war child
I'm like, I'm like
Like a war child
I'm like, I'm like
Like a war child
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like
(Fuckin' war child)
I'm like,
I'm like,
I'm like
I'm like
Up in the club like "What's Up?"
Got a little money, I'mma run a muck
Dudes look at me like "He's drunk"
Girls look at me look at me like "That's whats's up"
Girl you're a dime, I'm a diamond
I'm diggin' that ass like I'm minin'
Dime sack hidden in my beat up truck
Watch my back as I roll this blunt
Sipping on a Miti, I'm like, "Hi"
Boozing vision in my ride, I've freed hiding
So many times I always was a shy guy
Always been a SyFy guy with the tie-dye
Up in the club smoking weed now (I'm like)
So drunk, I can't see now (I'm like)
Charlie Scene in the VIP
And I think these girls want the D now (I'm like)
I like to get my fuckin' fade on
I'm feeling sexy, I'm like (ooh)
Them haters tryin' to get their hate on
But I'm too sexy, I'm like (ooh)
Whoa, whoa (I'm like) whoa, whoa (I'm like)
Whoa, whoa (I'm like) whoa, whoa (I'm like)
Up in the fight, like "Don't front"
Girls you know you wanna have me beat it up
Dudes looking me like "What the fuck?"
Girls look at me look at me like (That's whats's up)
Girl you're a dime, I'm a diamond
I'm lost for words straight, minin'
Dime sack hidden in my beat up truck
Watch my back as I roll this blunt
I like my woman all shapes and size
Big ol' booty make my eye grow wide
She like big dick yet she cannot lie
Sir Dick's-a-lot now I'm your's for the night
Yeah we're sip, sip, sippin' on some bubbly bubbly
Now she lick, lick, lickin' on my chubby, lovely
You know this chick is a funny's honey
She work that ass for the funny money
I like to get my fuckin fade on (Fade on)
I'm feeling sexy, I'm like (Ooh)
Them haters tryin' to get their hate on (Hate on)
But I'm too sexy, I'm like oh (Ooh)
I'm in the club

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"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is sexy
