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.
(I'm about to break)
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again (over and over again, over and over again, over and over again, over and over again)
Just like before
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to break
These are the places where I can feel
Torn from my body, my flesh, it peels
During this ride, we can cut up what we like (I'm about to break)
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring
And pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring
Shut up when I'm talking to you, shut up
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring, shut up when I'm talking to you (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
I'm about to break
Everything you say to me (and I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe (and I'm about to break)
Everything you say to me (and I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe (and I'm about to break)
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge and I'm about to
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again (over and over again, over and over again, over and over again, over and over again)
Just like before
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to break
These are the places where I can feel
Torn from my body, my flesh, it peels
During this ride, we can cut up what we like (I'm about to break)
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring
And pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring
Shut up when I'm talking to you, shut up
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring, shut up when I'm talking to you (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
Blood is pouring (shut up)
I'm about to break
Everything you say to me (and I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe (and I'm about to break)
Everything you say to me (and I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe (and I'm about to break)
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge and I'm about to

@[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
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.
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.
