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.
Choyée, Samantha meurt. Choyée, Samantha pleure. Sonne & assomme encore Samantha. Elle n'y croit plus. Ecoute ton cœur s'encrasser comme leurs machines. Ton corps ne servira plus. Samantha couche-toi, même s'ils sont aux pieds de ton lit, même s'ils te prennent. Samantha pleure. Cette douce chaleur te tient en laisse. Par la corde saigne. Toute petite, petite bouche aime l'ingestion : ça mousse au fond. Ta chair est nue. Bois, tu l'emplis. Enfant caresse le. Un, deux genoux rentrent dedans, le sol est mou. Tout devient lent. Martyr attire les mouches, suit les cris sous la terre, l'ame saoule. Martyr attire les mouches, fuit les cris sous la terre, l' ame seule. A nos pères qui êtes absents... Délivrez-nous du mal... Je vous salue Marie, pleine de grâce. A ceux qui nous ont offensés : nous vous soumettons à la tentation. A ceux qui nous ont dévastés, dites leur la vérité : la bête et l'agneau ne font qu'un. Craque sa tête. Un bébé dort sous la terre, la bouche pleine. Coule ! Sperme et poussière. Il Crache ses plaies. Poupée chiffon... La nuit est sourde. Samantha s'en va. J'attends mon tour. Dorment les cris. J'ai emprunté ton corps, je te le rendrais un peu cassé.

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.

Magical

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.
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.
