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.
Crowded streets all cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You're so cold
But you feel alive
Lay your hands on me
One last time
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You're so cold
But you feel alive
Lay your hands on me
One last time
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

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.
Blue

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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think this song describes perfectly the oppressive and often infectious influences the Illuminati exert over the human race to fulfill their evil plan to reduce our population and rule this planet in tyranny.
Think about it. If these sick individuals have the power to start wars which have ended countless millions of lives---why should they stop there. They've already had and continue to have a fling with the man-made governments of this world (figuratively-speaking) to facilitate their wicked purposes.
And we all know what the politicians want us to think! <<<NSA,FEMA,CIA,HOMELAND-SECURITY,THE END OF POSSE COMMON TATUS, LINCOLN ASSASSINATION, KENNEDY ASSASSINATION, VIETNAM, PEARL HARBOR, 911, COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS, BILDERBERG GROUP, TRILATERAL COMMISION, UNITED NATIONS>>>
The signs are all around us!
"Crowded streets are cleared away, One by One
Hollow heroes separate, As they run...Wise men wonder as strong men die"
"Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are, satisfied and empty inside...If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry"
The politicians of this world are playing Russian-roulette with our lives---the Presidency is nothing more than a Puppet-post. Wake up people!
One good look at today's world scene---and it doesn't take a rocket-scientist (no pun intended) to figure out whats really going on behind closed-doors and without our permission!
Our ever-increasing police-state around the world is only the beginning. Time is running out for the poor man, the freeman, the ignorant masses, as the masons would like to refer to us!
Wake up people---Before its too late!!!
Take a stand for what is right---don't let the oppressive Inter-Alpha Empire win!!!
"In this land of make believe, Dead and dry,
Your so cold but you feel alive,
Show me how it ends, its alright (Crowded streets are cleared away, One by one)
Show me how defenseless you really are..."
Wake up people. Its coming upon us very soon!!!
Do something about it now, while you still have a chance!!!
