Sheep-ridden country
They pretend that's it's so free
Falling, they're bleeding, never really question
Why they die.

Swim in the lake of death
Eaten by crocodiles
So
No-one saw, no-one cares.

Can you see beyond this?
Or does everything swamp your mind?

I don't like the way
Tradition makes people believe
Like a robot saying: "All be happy"
My point exactly.

You see,
You're all the same
Dirty, fuckers gone insane
Hope there's an earthquake and it swallows all evil.

Open
Your mouth
Maybe
You'll find life
One day
You may see

Listen, these words may well
Teach you
To appreciate
Yourself
And not to follow
Live before dying
But don't-be-a-lone

This is not life you're living now
Don't let the fuckers make you frown
Look in their eyes, there's nothing true
It's up to you what you're gonna do
This is your life, do not ignore
Look deep within, is there something more?
Think what to do before you act
Bleed on the floor 'til you...

Just try
To think your
Own thoughts.

Sheep-ridden country
They pretend it's so free
Falling, they're bleeding
But never really question why they die.

So when you fall people watch you as you start to bleed
No pay per view, this show is free.

You must ask yourself,
Why am I here and what for..?

And when you die,
People, they will always cry
Only one thing is that you must be
Yourself while you're living.

Live life live life now!

To be like all the same
Dammit, there's no use
For you to have a name
Sheep 1 & sheep 2
The 2 of you.

You really need to speak
I'll listen to you
Before you bleed
To be untrue
Bleed...

Live life live life...

Stand up
On your two feet
Nobody's piece of meat
Don't listen to the fashion fuckers on TV

So now you spit
Back in the face
Of things that control & dissolve your mind.

Why can't you shout out
And why can't you
Be yourself, fuck what others think
To be proud, to be you, must be
You
Don't need to follow.

Too lazy to look within yourself
Is there something you don't want to know
Or don't want to see?

Why not let your mind grow?
Why exclude the unknown?
Maybe you also could be...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.
