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.
We spendin' all this money, gettin' all this shine
Hittin' all this cuddi, spendin' all this time
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for
All this money, gettin' all this shine
And it's all so funny 'cause it's all just mine
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for worse (hey)
I'm lookin' out the window, the kid stayin' lit like a Zippo
You hatin', I don't trip, bro, it's gravy, 'cause your bitch know
Cup of Henny, I sip slow, the spins, yo
Hit the stage to bust a rhyme, call me Flipmode
This, that, the other, I'ma make it happen
Travel all around the country in a station wagon
Take it back, you reminisce on all your favorite classics
My words play more than Mad Libs
I got plenty lyrics, they got plenty ad-libs
Warn the holy spirit, my father's on some rap shit
Listenin' to Tribe, gettin' high, puffin' lye
See some people ridin' by, come outside, say what up
I ain't nothin' like a star, I'm chillin', layin' back
Travel round the whole world, enjoyin' everywhere I'm at
Meetin' different people, eatin' different food
No one like a gourmet meal more than Q though
We spendin' all this money, gettin' all this shine
Hittin' all this cuddi, spendin' all this time
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for
All this money, gettin' all this shine
And it's all so funny 'cause it's all just mine
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for worse
They feelin' kinda jealous, everybody be thinkin' that they was cool
Gettin' money since my mommy was droppin' me off at school
Now I got a whip to cruise in
You the Pirates so you losin'
I'm in the news, you let 'em bring your news in
I bowl strikes, you always leavin' a few pins
I do me, you keepin' up with them new trends
I got fam, you worried 'bout makin' new friends
I'm in my PJs, you had to wear your suit in
Thinkin' what I'll do? When? Where? How? Why me?
Relax myself, kick it like Tai Chi
You could find me, only where I'm at
There ain't no other me's, they be checkin' on my stats
High cat, find him up in a tree
Homie may be spittin' bars, he ain't fuckin with me
I'm just turnin' up the heat to a hunnid degrees
Spittin' like I got a razor blade stuck to my teeth, hey
We spendin' all this money, gettin' all this shine
Hittin' all this cuddi, spendin' all this time
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for
All this money, gettin' all this shine
And it's all so funny 'cause it's all just mine
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for worse
Hittin' all this cuddi, spendin' all this time
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for
All this money, gettin' all this shine
And it's all so funny 'cause it's all just mine
I'm feelin' better than ever before (ever before)
This my life for better or for worse (hey)
I'm lookin' out the window, the kid stayin' lit like a Zippo
You hatin', I don't trip, bro, it's gravy, 'cause your bitch know

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”
