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.
The motherfuckers got in my head
Trying to make me someone else instead
It's my world now
It's my world now
It's my world
It's my world
"Mama, why's it raining in my room?"
"Cheer up, boy, clouds will move on soon"
Heavy fog got me lost inside
Gonna sit right back, enjoy this ride
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world
Sucker
I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out
Who's in charge of my head today
Dancing devils in angels way
It's my time now
It's my time now
It's my time
Yeah, it's my time
Look out, motherfuckers, here I come
I'm gonna make my head my home
The sons of bitches tried to take my head
Tried to make me someone else instead
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world
Sucker
Yeah, out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
God, it feels like it only rains on me
God, it feels like it only rains on me
God, it feels like it only rains on me
God, it feels like it only rains on me
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
God, it feels like it only rains on me
God, it feels like it only rains on me (like it only rains on me)
God, it feels like it only rains on me (like it only rains on me)
God, it feels (oh God, oh God, oh God)
Like it only rains on me (like it only rains on me)
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
Sucka

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Good one Mattthew_X!
