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.
[Intro]
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
[Verse 1]
Gather 'round, they're the talk of the town
It's broadcasting soon, and no one out there's immune
Old retro games running through their veins
And the Coleco Chameleon is feeling the pain!
If it's movies or games, then they'll give you the facts
But watch out for ranch dressing from a guy named Max!
[Chorus]
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
[Verse 2]
They'll tell you everything that's hot on these streets
Don't you forget that Danny Sullivan is bringing the heat
Scumbag sellers - no, you're never off the hook
Hey'd you hear about a certain NES guide book?!
So lend them your ears, let their words in your head
Or else go and grab a burrito instead!
[Chorus]
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
[Verse 1]
Gather 'round, they're the talk of the town
It's broadcasting soon, and no one out there's immune
Old retro games running through their veins
And the Coleco Chameleon is feeling the pain!
If it's movies or games, then they'll give you the facts
But watch out for ranch dressing from a guy named Max!
[Chorus]
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
[Verse 2]
They'll tell you everything that's hot on these streets
Don't you forget that Danny Sullivan is bringing the heat
Scumbag sellers - no, you're never off the hook
Hey'd you hear about a certain NES guide book?!
So lend them your ears, let their words in your head
Or else go and grab a burrito instead!
[Chorus]
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!
Whoa! It's the #CUPodcast!

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
