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.
Well I know that it's late but the words wouldn't wait
I'm really sorry that I woke you up
I don't know what's come over me
If I'm wrong let me know
Do you think I should go
But before you give an answer think of somewhere you'd rather be
All that I have twenty six dollars and the keys to a Cadillac
All that I know
Drive all night go anywhere you want to go
All that I want and all that I need
All I want to know is do you want to come with me
You deserve more than this packing guilt for a trip
I never thought that I would get this far
Searching for the words to say
Summer wind desert stars
All of this could be yours
You know it only takes two words and we'll both be on our way
All that I have twenty six dollars and the keys to a Cadilac
All that I know
Drive all night go anywhere you want to go
All that I want and all that I need
All I want to know is do you want to come with me
Come with me come with me
All I have all I know
I changed the station and our song is on the radio
All I have all I know drive all night
Go anywhere you want to go
All I have all I know
I changed the station and our song is on the radio
All I have all I know drive all night
Go anywhere you want to go
Drive all night go anywhere you want to go
Drive all night go anywhere you want to to
I'm really sorry that I woke you up
I don't know what's come over me
If I'm wrong let me know
Do you think I should go
But before you give an answer think of somewhere you'd rather be
All that I have twenty six dollars and the keys to a Cadillac
All that I know
Drive all night go anywhere you want to go
All that I want and all that I need
All I want to know is do you want to come with me
You deserve more than this packing guilt for a trip
I never thought that I would get this far
Searching for the words to say
Summer wind desert stars
All of this could be yours
You know it only takes two words and we'll both be on our way
All that I have twenty six dollars and the keys to a Cadilac
All that I know
Drive all night go anywhere you want to go
All that I want and all that I need
All I want to know is do you want to come with me
Come with me come with me
All I have all I know
I changed the station and our song is on the radio
All I have all I know drive all night
Go anywhere you want to go
All I have all I know
I changed the station and our song is on the radio
All I have all I know drive all night
Go anywhere you want to go
Drive all night go anywhere you want to go
Drive all night go anywhere you want to to

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"

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.
