Just throw it back, for one more night
On a starlit and moon-struck night.
The ground did fold and eat us both
But all my love, I did devote.

Beneath the rafters the angels sing
Spinning violence and playing with my heart.

The song I wrote, it was for you.
To live inside of me, I'm dying inside you. [x2]

Lost inside another crash
The bones I had, turned into ash.
The world did cry, the night you died
And I am no good at suicide.

Beneath the rafters the angels sing
Spinning violence and playing with my heart.

The song I wrote, it was for you.
To live inside of me, I'm dying inside you. [x2]

But I lost what was mine, and I want what was mine. [x2]

My heart now it always breaks, the blood did drip and I take, another wish, another kiss, no more will for me to kill.
We'd run away in our dismay, but please, come back to me.

Just throw it back, for one more night
On a starlit and moon-struck night.
The ground did fold and eat us both
But all my love, I did devote.

The song I wrote, it was for you.
TTTTTTo live inside of me, I'm dying inside you. [x2]

    This song reminds me of Hamlet... just the talk about suicide is like the "to be or not to be" speech. I suppose that's what makes me relate this song to Hamlet.

    Dude if you dont like the music keep it to yourself. As thrice would say "Something are better left unsaid, you know what to say, somethings are better left unsaid". If you really hate the lyrics make a hate sight or somtin if you wanna discuss it. This is a great song.

    The "And I am no good at suicide" line does remind me of Hamlet, particularly the "what dreams may come" line, which could be reinforced by the title of the EP, "From the Depths of Dreams."

    "For me to kill, and no more will. We'd runaway, and save dismay. Please come back, I'd die with you." Should be "And no more will for me to kill. We'd runaway, and save dismay, Please come back to me, I'd die with you." yea really really good song you should check out the acoustic version too

    if you listen to the ground folds and 187 back and forth you will realize that the guitar lines in the bgegiing of each song are almost exactly the same. i think they need some more originality, i mean come on. you have only realeased 8 songs and you cant thnik up a different guitar line. this could be a bad sign.

    i'm with etaklaiceps...the acoustic version rocks. and yeah, the guitar lines from "the ground folds" and "one eight seven" are incredibly similar. originality is good, but i think that their lyrics make up for it. plus...they OWN live. they're great.

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"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
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.
