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.
NAMO, NAMO, NAMO NAMO, NAMO
Aww, aww, aww, aww, aww
CBK
He a boy
All he ever do is toy (Yeah )
I don't understand why you with that guy b
But if you want a man,
You know where to find me
He ain't loyal (he ain’t loyal )
Doesn't even love at all (Calvin Kagenda, he ain’t for you babe)
You ain't gotta ask
You know you can try me
But if you want a man
You know where to find me
He ain’t loyal (Calvin Kagenda, he ain’t loyal )
He ain’t loyal
He ain’t, he ain’t, he ain’t
Fly guy with the high top
HD with the backdrop
Whipping up my MacBook
Making fire on that laptop
I can treat you like a gentlemen
Caviar or venison ?
I can be your cute baby
I can be your medicine
Your dose of penicillin
Your daily antihistamines
Your man, he like a bad taste
Baby I can be your listerine
Show you that i care
‘Cause I hear you get that rare
Every time you route his yard
He ain’t ever there (rahhhh)
You deserve better and yeah you know it saying ‘oh yeah, I’m happy ‘
But you ain’t the one to show
He stole your heart before and now he blown it (blown it)
Come on you know
You can trust me
Baby lemme own it
So fixed on the negative
Baby focus on positive
I could be so much better
And yeah you know it's so obvious (obvious)
But you ain’t gotta ask
Baby you can try me
But if you want a man
You know where to find me
He a boy (yeah)
All he ever do is toy (all he ever do)
I don't understand why you with that guy b ( noo)
But if you want a man
You know where to find me (you know where to find me)
He ain't loyal (He ain’t loyal )
Doesn't even love at all (doesn’t love it)
You ain't gotta ask
You know you can try me
But if you want a man
You know where to find me (yeah)
He ain’t loyal ( he ain’t loyal )
He ain’t loyal
He ain’t, he ain’t, he ain’t
B your the baddest b
Prettiest thing that i ever seen
You did a lot for me ( You did a lot for me )
I know they ain’t right for me
CBK NAMO were keeping it cold
Your my ride or die baby
You ain’t ridin’ alone
Made some mistakes
But you kept me so close
He ain’t
Call it blasian were two different races
You know that's goals
He ain’t
You know he ain’t loyal
You know he ain’t for you
Just leave him alone
(Call it blasian were two different races, you know that's goals )
(You know he ain’t loyal, you know he ain’t for you , just leave him alone )
Baby , manu phone karna
Why you with that dude ( Dude)
He ain’t for you boo (Boo)
He ain’t the man for you
You know i would fight for you ( You know i would fight)
You told me your past
You know me so well
You know i ain’t like them dudes
CBK drippin’ you know i be lit

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Ed Sheeran
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.
