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.
New York to Chi-town, rrr
Yo, Pierre, wanna come out here? (woop)
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)
Livin' with some people I could die around (die around)
Livin' with the people I'ma die around (die around)
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)
Livin' with some people I could die around (die around)
Livin' with the people I'ma die around
I still got hoop dreams, I got mood swings
I could do things in a plain white tee
And some blue jeans, introducing
My lil' boo thing, she gon' stick with thick or thin
That's a mood ring (uh), everybody eats (uh)
You just don't keep receipts, I'ma just press deletes
Always ten toes like feets, came with some built-in cleats
You don't need help like cheats, you don't need help like Meeseeks
World on my back like Meek (ch-ch), mafia fam like Meech (ch-ch)
Steady, keep growin' like Ch-ch-chia
Bringin' my son to the beach (ch-ch)
Never sit in my seat
I cannot be impeached, wash the bitch down with bleach
Yeah, I stuck around, aw, lookie now
Suki-suki now, got a Grammy, I ain't lyin'
Ask Cookie now, got my hoodie down
Get it goodie now, get into it now
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)
Livin' with some people I could die around (die around)
Livin' with the people I'ma die around
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)
Livin' with some people I could die around (die around)
Livin' with the people I'ma die around
Gimme five, it's a vibe, in the hood like drivebys
I ain't talkin' wavin' hands when I'm in Dubai, bye
With the people that I love, rep 'em 'til I die-die
And I'm fly, when you fly they give you the side-eye, ooh
I just hit the plug, 'bout to buy a pound (pound, pound)
Fendi on my moon boots, higher ground (ground, ground)
Pistol on my lap when I ride around (round, round, pew-pew-pew-pew)
People I could trust when I'm not around (round, round)
Loco, I go loco, took a oath, though (yee), no Grammy, still a GOAT, though
You seen how a true queen and a hoop dream made my "Pinkprint" the routine
Treats, everybody eats
Most of them stay quiet but everybody peeps
Feet, stay up in some heat (ha)
Act like they don't follow, but everybody sheep
Ahh-ahh, ohh-ohh
Back on my bullshit, shout-out Chicago
Me and my man, Griselda and Pablo
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)
Livin' with some people I could die around (die around)
Livin' with the people I'ma die around
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)
Livin' with some people I could die around (die around)
Livin' with the people I'ma die around
Back then I was broke, I can buy it now (buy it now)
Gotta be true love if I can die around (die around)
I'm on my fourth cup and I'm tired now (tired now)
Your gas tank 93 so you can't ride around
Name hold weight, elites
Get head in the car with my seats (let's get it)
Like my pants no crease (no crease)
Gotta watch out for a leech
No two fish, Uber Eats
Perky one-two-threes
New Era hat say "3"
Fuck a bitch while she bleed
She nameless like Lil Keed
Drink my seeds, yes, indeed
Fuck with Chance, he elite
I got a bitch and she don't cheat
Foreign car, beep-beep
Get out my way, I'm OC
I can't go back to DOC
Even though I'm ODB (yeah, he back)
I put my bitch in Saint Laurent (yeah, yeah)
Smokin' gas like Chevron (yeah, yeah)
Ain't got a Grammy, soon one'll come, mmh
The streets told me I'm the one, yeah
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)
Livin' with some people I could die around (die around)
Livin' with the people I'ma die around
Salmon Gucci slide, slide around (slide around)
Legit on that jet, I can fly around (fly around)

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."
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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
