ah! tyler posted the meaning on his tumblr today. all week he's posting a breakdown of each song's meaning on the ep.
"Princeton Avenue is the story of a boy who was born and raised in College Park, Atlanta. In the projects of a street called Princeton Avenue in a government home, this kid was brought up by a disturbed mother and an abusive, alcoholic father. Being corrupted by his father’s ways, he was only taught that his life would be nothing but a terrifying storm. He grows up to become one with the storm of his father, and he leaves home and lives a life of drugs and depression. Now an older angry man, sleeping with whore after whore and passing out in hotel rooms, he ends up getting a woman pregnant. The daughter he has is left with him and this makes things worse. He raises his daughter the same way he was raised, in the storm. Angry and abusive the junkie hits rock bottom. At that point in time he finally comes to terms with his ways and decides that its time to make a change for his daughters sake. Is it too late? Because he’s given her hell for 15 years she’s already grown custom to his ways, she followed his footsteps and now she’s pregnant with God knows who’s child. The father can’t handle another mouth to feed… and the storm has returned. He goes downhill now, just like his father. He will never escape the storm.
The point of this song is to shed light on the fact that each generation being corrupted is becoming a never ending cycle. Cease production of a destructive breed, seek help cause your pride only makes you weak. Make a change now, or it will just continue.
