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.
I'm on the menu
You won't get indigestion
I even come with dessert
I'm not your poison
You won't need medication
Your insides won't even hurt
Eat me
From my skin down to the bone
Eat me
You can evolve
Eat me
You can really give the dog a bone
Before I change my mind and I sink my teeth in you
Eat me
A second helping
My meat is nice and tender
One bite and you will sold
Take me for later
I have no expiration
My blood will never go low
Eat me
From my skin down to the bone
Eat me
You can evolve
Eat me
You can really give the dog a bone
Before I change my mind and I sink my teeth in you
Eat me
Smile as you rip flesh from my spine to my legs
Vile, all the scary things you'll find inside my head
Bite till I'm dead
I'm on the menu
Are you hungry?
Eat me
From my skin down to the bone
Eat me
You can evolve
Eat me
You can really give the dog a bone
Before I change my mind and I sink my teeth in you
Eat me
Eat me
You won't get indigestion
I even come with dessert
I'm not your poison
You won't need medication
Your insides won't even hurt
Eat me
From my skin down to the bone
Eat me
You can evolve
Eat me
You can really give the dog a bone
Before I change my mind and I sink my teeth in you
Eat me
A second helping
My meat is nice and tender
One bite and you will sold
Take me for later
I have no expiration
My blood will never go low
Eat me
From my skin down to the bone
Eat me
You can evolve
Eat me
You can really give the dog a bone
Before I change my mind and I sink my teeth in you
Eat me
Smile as you rip flesh from my spine to my legs
Vile, all the scary things you'll find inside my head
Bite till I'm dead
I'm on the menu
Are you hungry?
Eat me
From my skin down to the bone
Eat me
You can evolve
Eat me
You can really give the dog a bone
Before I change my mind and I sink my teeth in you
Eat me
Eat me

Holiday

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 Can't Go To Sleep

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.
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.
