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've been lookin' for a trace
Lookin' for a heart
Lookin' for a lover in a world
That's much too dark
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction oh yeah
You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another
Piece of the action, yeah
Said where you going
What you going to do
I've been looking everywhere
I've been looking for you
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction
I have got your satisfaction
You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another
Piece of the action
Because you're crazy hey hey
You're fucking crazy oh my
You know you're crazy oh child
I said you're crazy ay, ay, yeah
Yeah, aow
Oh!
Oh
Say, boy, where you coming from
Where would you get that point of view
When I was younger said I knew someone like you
And they said you don't want my love
You want to satisfaction yeah
You don't need my love
You have got to find yourself another
Piece of the action
'Cause you're crazy, hey hey
You're fucking crazy, oh my
You know you're crazy, oh child
I said you're crazy
Oh, you're crazy
You know you're crazy
Well, you're crazy
You know you're crazy, oh
You know you are
Bring it down you're fuckin' crazy
Lookin' for a heart
Lookin' for a lover in a world
That's much too dark
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction oh yeah
You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another
Piece of the action, yeah
Said where you going
What you going to do
I've been looking everywhere
I've been looking for you
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction

You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another

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.

Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Acoustic version is much better i agree. i always pictured this song as an older woman who is having a fling with a younger man and the guy is starting to have feelings for her, so she says "you're crazy"
