Can you believe we're being plagued by religion still?
These Christians aren't about to give up.
It's the same countless fools go on and on and on and on and...
Closest thing to witches I've ever seen,
Let's get out the gas and set them on fire!

Aw, teach me how to pray, good Christian.
If it works you'll all be dead.
We'll see the secret to salvation,
For me it's when you're dead, you're dead, you're DEAD.

I can't believe they're serious,
Superstitious spastic fools.
They live for everlasting life,
And ruin my life here on earth.
They must be SO intelligent,
To know so much more than me...
I wanna take the president,
Chop off his head,
And mail it to them in a garbage bag.

Hinkley had a vision,
Hinkley had a vision.

    "Hinkley," is actually John W. Hinckley, Jr. (with a "c" in Hinckley), and for those of you that don't know, he tried to kill Ronnie Reagan. He opened fire in a crowd in Washington D.C. on March 30, 1981, but only one of the bullets hit Reagan(left lung).. Too bad he survivied :,(

    I heard Hinckley did it to impress some actress, but this is a great song, my favorite part is

    "I wanna take the president, Chop off his head, And mail it to them in a garbage bag!"

    Hinckley did it to impress Jodie Foster. And yes, Pogo Pope, that is the best part of the song.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.

Punchline
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
