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.
Being faced with what I'm faced with I feel like I can't rock
Like a rock hit my heart
Started to chain the day and exploded into pieces
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never will
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to tell me
I've got a feeling in my gut, now fills me with so much hope
Said fuck it, I'm fine, dine and dashed
The pianist peddled into morning, morning
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never will
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never
Morning, morning
Being faced with what I'm faced with I feel like I can't rock
Like a rock hit my heart
Started to chain the day and exploded into pieces
Pieces
Pieces
Pieces
Pieces (being faced with what I'm faced with I feel)
Pieces (like I can't rock)
Pieces (like a rock hit my heart)
Pieces (started to chain the day and exploded into pieces)
One, two, three, four
As of now, I'm down straight up
And I can turn to the box for some peace
Or a box for a piece
Or a box for a smoke
But they're all going to choke me
As of now, I'm down straight up
And I can turn to the box for some peace
Or a box for a piece
Or a box for a smoke
But they're all going to choke me
You're so crazy
You're so crazy
You're so crazy
Enough in a way that I'll probably say you destroyed me
It's like a fucking drug deal
I'm sitting here waiting
I'm calling you back
And you won't call me back
And it's fucked up
But at the same time it just made me want you even worse
For a while, I was cleaner than now
Then I started to destroy myself
With the things that I love, now the things that I hate
Until it finally broke me
You're so crazy
You're so crazy
You're so crazy
Enough in a way that I'll probably say you destroyed me
Fuck my ass now
Fuck my ass now
Choke me
Choke me
Choke me
Choke me
Choke me
As of now I'm down straight up
And I can turn to the box for some peace
Or a box for a piece
Or a box for some smokes
But they're all going to choke me
You're so crazy
You're so crazy
You're so crazy
Enough in a way that I'll probably say you destroyed me
Like a rock hit my heart
Started to chain the day and exploded into pieces
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never will
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to tell me
I've got a feeling in my gut, now fills me with so much hope
Said fuck it, I'm fine, dine and dashed
The pianist peddled into morning, morning
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never will
Marry me, stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never
Morning, morning
Being faced with what I'm faced with I feel like I can't rock

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. 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.
sounds like this kid loves this girl so much that he wants everything to stay the same forever
