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.
We are murderers. We are killers. We are human beasts who use creatures as fillers. We take the life of those who we think that are worse then us. Like discrimination, we kill these animals like are own people. Whom we think that are different. then us. Civilization is our way to escape from all the demons and Daemons we seem to face. Don't hate my beliefs. I'm not on the side I speak.
- CHORUS
We are creatures, from our so called hell. We got lost in evolution and fell. We single out those who we think are worthless beasts. We taste their blood on our tongues and on our teeth. WE disgraced human nature by listening to the worthless satire. We desire all that isn't dignified we eat animals and call cannibals monsters.
- -
WE like to slaughter our enemies. We call them shit when they fall on their knees. The government are a bunch of liars. They kill to feed their desires. Our rulers think they own the land. But they are just avatars for a true being. So confused, they don't know who rules.
Chorus
We judge those people that we thing are wrong. We wave so long to the foreigners who come here only for a better life. What did they do to harm you? they have secret live but who doesn't you know were all going to die. What' the point of life when its only to live. What's the point of life? When people cant forgive. Misery is all that matters to the demons let the ultimate be the daemon be what we call laws and disaster
Chorus
Repeat beginning verse.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
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.

Considering i wrote this song, i know what its about. Its about how we humans take everything from the planet. Its how we eat the flesh of other beings, and cry when one of use gets eaten by an animal. 'Don't hate my beliefs. I'm not on the side I speak.' means that i may belive in this but i still do it. its also how many of us worship religon when its fake In my opnion.
