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.
Step on the scene, forget about it
I put up racks, forget about it (yeah, yeah, Pluto, skrrt)
Why you hatin'? Why you hatin'? Oh, I'm fresh (why you hatin'?)
You must not feel how I feel, oh, I'm fresh (oh, I'm fresh)
I just popped open a seal, I'm on X (poppin' a seal)
Lil' shawty sittin' at the Blue Flame, sent me a text (lil' shawty, woo)
Future high demand, Future high demand (Super Fu)
I don't walk on land, bitch, I don't ever walk on land (Super Fu)
I float off Earth (Pluto), always float off Earth (Pluto)
Diamonds doin' the Chris Breezy (wow, wow), oh (Pluto)
She comin' through in the wee wee hours (she comin' through)
Went to the Hawks game in a helicopter (she went to)
Said, "I want me a white bitch," and I copped her
Future high demand, Future high demand (Super Fu)
I don't walk on land, bitch (baow), I don't ever walk on land (Super Fu)
George Jetson, you can't see me, no (Pluto, Pluto)
Do numbers like Boston (Boston), George on Vimeo (geez)
I left that bitch 'cause she was sleazy, oh
You can't be sadity and greedy (yeah, yeah), no (choose and get it)
I hid some money (wow), and I got plenty mo' (stretch hole)
Stashed in the walls (walls), stashed it in the floors (stashed it in the floors)
I dig the grave (yeah) and bought a tombstone for the money (yeah)
Stuffed a casket full of faces, got a tombstone for the money (yeah, yeah)
Bought a foreign and a spaceship, bought a tombstone for my money (wow)
Why you hatin'? Why you hatin'? Oh, I'm fresh (why you hatin'?)
You must not feel how I feel, oh, I'm fresh (oh, I'm fresh)
I just popped open a seal, I'm on X (poppin' a seal)
Lil' shawty sittin' at the Blue Flame, sent me a text (lil' shawty, woo)
Future high demand, Future high demand (Super Fu)
I don't walk on land, bitch, I don't ever walk on land (Super Fu)
I float off Earth (Pluto), always float off Earth (Pluto)
Diamonds doin' the Chris Breezy (wow, wow), oh
She ain't runnin' out of flavor, I went to ice her
My number one bitch with me, it excite her
Let my shit go, blow the bitch, go to the cypher
That type of pussy, it's gon' make you want to wife her (oh)
We do a whole lotta numbers, yeah
Grab on that pussy like Donald, yeah
Porsche got a lil' bitty trunk
But it's goin' over 200, yeah
Turtlenecks all on my collar, yeah
Love when a pretty bitch swallow, yeah
I did it up, gravity (I did it up)
Super so radically
Awesome, gnarly, woo (woo)
Heavenly, rapidly (rapidly), got killers on McAfee (got killers on)
I do it immaculately
I'm all in her mouth like a cavity (I'm all in her mouth like a)
Cold as the polar, I keep it precise
I go to space in the middle of the night
I gotta talk with that pipe in my hand now
It could be a threat or a fan now
I can't get caught with my hands down
I can't be comin', my man's down
I put some bodies up underground
That's a few millions up underground
Murder for money, that's man down
Kill more than police across town
Bet not get caught with your hand down
Bet not get caught with your hand down
Why you hatin'? Why you hatin'? Oh, I'm fresh (why you hatin'?)
You must not feel how I feel, oh, I'm fresh (oh, I'm fresh)
I just popped open a seal, I'm on X (poppin' a seal)
Lil' shawty sittin' at the Blue Flame, sent me a text (lil' shawty, woo)
Future high demand, Future high demand (Super Fu)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
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.
