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.
Ge-geah, R.O.c.
Yeah yeah
Ge-geah yeah, geah
Gyo, gyo
Aiyyo I'm back wit it, still tote the gat wit it
Still got it locked, I sold some crack wit it
Who could fuck wit it? Not a soul, I'm out of control
The fo'fo' blow out of control
Blow yo' mind outta that hole
M.e.m. Get a broad out of her home, out of her clothes
Into the Benz, get her into sippin' the gin
Twistin' the lye, get her into pushin' the 5
Then we fly out of the state let shots out of the 8
They go in and out of your face
You want spend? I take 10 out of the safe
You want drink? Take a bottle, out of the case
Then we get into somethin, get into touchin'
Get into fuckin' mami, no frontin'
Shit, I got cake (geah) I got weight (geah)
Shit you want to chill, mama, pick a state (let's go)
Let's get high first class seat on me
We get low hotel fee on me
Let's get high lay back, roll up weed
We get low Bel've on the rocks, apple martini
Let's get high first class seat on me
We get low hotel fee on me
Let's get high lay back, roll up weed
We get low Bel've on the rocks, apple martini
I'm in the S5, all black, no tint
With a nice dime all ass, no tits
Still, rippin' the glock (Bleek) playin' the block
Fuckin' with mine M.E.m., gettin' it hot
Gettin' it popped, gettin' it jumped, gettin' it crunk
And you don't want to get slump duke, get in the trunk
Got a pound of that green, to get in New York
Get it through customs Bleek ain't tryin' to get caught
But get this the fifth will get you support
Not that help that life situation get short
Gettin' with ma, Bleek still gettin' her high
End up, gettin' her somethin' she ain't get in her life
She fuckin' with them real niggas who get low, who get dough
Who got cake baby, but get mo'
And I get hoes, but yo' bitch, I got
The same jewels, I got rid of you not (let's go)
Let's get high first class seat on me
We get low hotel fee on me
Let's get high lay back, roll up weed
We get low Bel've on the rocks, apple martini
Let's get high first class seat on me
We get low hotel fee on me
Let's get high lay back, roll up weed
We get low Bel've on the rocks, apple martini
Let's get high we get low
Let's get high we get low
Let's get high we get low
Let's get high we get low
Yeah yeah

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 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.

“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.
