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.
Didn't know that I'd fall so hard
Then my feet left the ground
Gravity don't make no sense when you're around
I come up against myself when
Demons in my head get loud
I don't know how you do it, but you turn them down
I slip and wonder who I'd be
If I never found you and you never found me
Well, I don't wanna see
So won't you give me tonight
And the rest of your life?
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes
I'll be there by your side
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
'Cause your love is biblical
Biblical
It's biblical
If you ever go to pieces
Fall between the thunder clouds
I will put you back together, I won't let you down
I slip and wonder what I'd do
If you never found me and I never found you
I don't know what I'd do
So won't you give me tonight
And the rest of your life
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes
I'll be there by your side
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all
(I wanna have it all)
I wanna have it all
(I wanna have it all)
I wanna have it, I wanna have it all
'Cause your love is biblical
It's biblical
It's biblical
So won't you give me tonight
And the rest of your life?
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
So come on and give me tonight
And the rest of your life
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes
I'll be there by your side
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
'Cause your love is biblical
It's biblical
It's biblical
Then my feet left the ground
Gravity don't make no sense when you're around
I come up against myself when
Demons in my head get loud
I don't know how you do it, but you turn them down
I slip and wonder who I'd be
If I never found you and you never found me
Well, I don't wanna see
So won't you give me tonight
And the rest of your life?
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes
I'll be there by your side
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
'Cause your love is biblical
Biblical
It's biblical
If you ever go to pieces
Fall between the thunder clouds
I will put you back together, I won't let you down
I slip and wonder what I'd do
If you never found me and I never found you
I don't know what I'd do
So won't you give me tonight
And the rest of your life
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes
I'll be there by your side
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all
(I wanna have it all)
I wanna have it all
(I wanna have it all)
I wanna have it, I wanna have it all
'Cause your love is biblical
It's biblical
It's biblical
So won't you give me tonight
And the rest of your life?
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
So come on and give me tonight
And the rest of your life
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes
I'll be there by your side
I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all with you
'Cause your love is biblical
It's biblical
It's biblical

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 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.
