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'd like to actively encourage the toughest man to dance as hard as he can to this, my song. And bring your stupidest friends along. We wrote this song because it's fucking boring to keep spelling out the words that you keep ignoring. And your mscho shit won't phase me now. It just makes us laugh, we got your cash, court-jester take a bow. Because did you know that when I was nine, I tried to fuck a friend of mine? HE was 8, then I turned 10. 14 years later it happened again (with another friend). This time me on the receiving end. And all the fists in the world can't save you now. Cuz if you dance to this, then you drink to me and my sexuality. With your hands down my pants by transitive property.

The Night We Met
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"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

“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.
Hahaha... I think that this song is a play on all of the macho mother fuckers who go to concerts to fuckin rock out, and show everyone (including themselves) how fuckin' tough they are.
"less talk more rock!" they scream. This song is for them. Funny thing is, I bet some homophobe considers this his favorite song, probably headbangs to it, and has never heard the lyrics.
I hate all this "pop" shit. They say they are just trying to get a message accross to the the fans. What message? The fact that they can't get a girl to fall in love with them? And people actually like that!?!? Those "pop" lovers should read some of Propaghandi's lyrics and find out what writing music is all about.
i think you're right! no band is more punk then propaghandi!
another song about stupid macho mofos, but propagandhi (as usual) writes and delivers it so much better than any other band.
awesome propagandhi... seen them 4 times and it never gets old and this song always sticks out in my mind when i think about them..
pretty much everyone who has posted on this song has reinforced what it's about. its about how everyone listens to propaghandi and its good music and everything, and even though they keep saying important messages with thier lyrics, a lot of people dont even try to think about what the song means or the message they're trying to convey. "We wrote this song because it's fucking boring to keep spelling out the words that you keep ignoring." i dont think it gets any plainer than that. most people just ignore the message and listen to the music. and i think the last part of the song, the one where he talks about fucking his friends is just thrown in there just to say something completely fucked up and strange and at the end he's like "Cuz if you dance to this, then you drink to me and my sexuality. With your hands down my pants by transitive property." he's saying "look what you're agreeing to that you could've avoided by reading the lyrics and interpreting what the song is about. you're dancing to the cool pop-punk song and little do you know that im insulting you for not reading the lyrics." i dont think i explained it very well, but i tried. i think their song "anti manifesto" from "how to clean everything" is about the same thing except for not the fucking your friends part.
I don't feel the need to state what this song is about as it has already been done.
This is one of my favorite songs because it's so true and I admire Propagandhi's willingness to say whatever the fuck they want.
I don't think it's necessary to post to add anything else to this discussion, so I won't. :)
Brilliant song. I didn't realise that Chris was gay? Well that is what the songs says isn't it?
@JAStewart: a man having sex with a man doesn't make him gay. As much as us homos would hope, heh.
