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.
(Cook that shit up Quay)
Every time I turned around I had to blast out the door
Call 'fore you knock nigga
Call before you knock, what the fuck you talkin' 'bout
Neighbors think I'm selling dope
Go
Baby, he don't wanna be a player no more
I was looking out the peephole wit it
Every time I turned around I had to blast out the door
Now a nigga going beast mode with it
I got fifteen beds, we ain't laying on the floor (fifteen, fifteen beds)
I done hit a lotta freak hoes
Nigga guess it's safe, safe for you to say that I'm a ho
I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore
I got money to bail out
Won't pull over, they know he gon' bail out
Drop the window, turn right throw the scale out
Fuck you mean we don't ride with no scale now
We sell them bitches whole (we sell them bitches whole)
I had 'em knocking at my door, I used to have 'em for the low
My neighbors think I'm selling dope (neighbors think I'm selling dope)
I had the AC on, every winter young nigga had the burner in his coat
I hit a nigga with the fan
I hop out, Glock out, I was taking pictures with the fans
I can show you how to rob without a tool
All them times I hit the middle man
All them times I took a nigga off
Nigga wanna be a boss but ain't have what it took to be the boss
She didn't know what it took to be my bitch
I ain't know what it took until I lost
Baby, he don't wanna be a player no more
I was looking out the peephole wit it
Every time I turned around I had to blast out the door
Now a nigga going beast mode with it
I got fifteen beds, we ain't laying on the floor (fifteen, fifteen beds)
I done hit a lotta freak hoes
Nigga guess it's safe, safe for you to say that I'm a ho
I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore
I'll always be a pimp, I'm not a player I get it
I'm wiping all them bitches off my radar, no Kizzy (Kirk)
I'm always on the charts like I'm Drizzy (Dirk)
Fade away I get you shot like Nowitzki
Can't wait to do the show when I'm in Dallas
We be eating healthy on the low, she made a salad
I been getting money on the low, it's hard to hide it
My baby like to fuck me on the floor, I let her ride it
It's off the top I ever make a song, I never write it
I'm a Grammy nominated hit maker, lame nigga bitch taker
Fuck the police, you yelling with a gun out how the fuck we gon' think
You take my daughter daddy how the fuck she gon' eat
I kill me a cop what the fuck they gon' think
Prolly hang on a tree
I'm dangerous, I keep a banger on me
Gotta drop down and pray before I sleep
Lord
Baby, he don't wanna be a player no more
I was looking out the peephole wit it
Every time I turned around I had to blast out the door
Now a nigga going beast mode with it
I got fifteen beds, we ain't laying on the floor (fifteen, fifteen beds)
I done hit a lotta freak hoes
Nigga guess it's safe, safe for you to say that I'm a ho
I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore
Baby, he don't wanna be a player no more (yeah)
I was looking out the peephole wit it
Every time I turned around I had to blast out the door
Now a nigga going beast mode with it
I got fifteen beds, we ain't laying on the floor (fifteen, fifteen beds)
I done hit a lotta freak hoes
Nigga guess it's safe, safe for you to say that I'm a ho
I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore
Every time I turned around I had to blast out the door
Call 'fore you knock nigga
Call before you knock, what the fuck you talkin' 'bout
Neighbors think I'm selling dope

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”

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.

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.
