This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I have brought you here tonight
To lay you out upon the stone
You're the girl that likes me best
Part the robe that hides your chest
Darling, I think it's time that I let you go
I don't feel any guilt as I touch your throat
You taught me how to sing my songs
What to drink and not to smoke
When to help and who to hate
All for love you suffocate
Everybody wants a chance to feel all alone
Hanging out here beside the old open road
Little one
You have done
All you could to keep me in your arms
Oh, but I watch as you choke on your tears
Everybody wants a chance to feel all alone
Suddenly I feel so strong
I don't hear a single sound
Looking up towards the stars
I can see for very far
Everybody wants a chance to feel all alone
To lay you out upon the stone
You're the girl that likes me best
Part the robe that hides your chest
Darling, I think it's time that I let you go
I don't feel any guilt as I touch your throat
You taught me how to sing my songs
What to drink and not to smoke
When to help and who to hate
All for love you suffocate
Everybody wants a chance to feel all alone
Hanging out here beside the old open road
Little one
You have done
All you could to keep me in your arms
Oh, but I watch as you choke on your tears
Everybody wants a chance to feel all alone
Suddenly I feel so strong
I don't hear a single sound
Looking up towards the stars
I can see for very far
Everybody wants a chance to feel all alone

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”
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.

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.
one of my favorite songs.The lyrics are so ironic, and you can tell that is really about how you feel when you are dumped about the other person. But having dumped girls you know you have never felst quite this happy about it. or it could be about cheating and you would be this cool about it, but the first meaning is more like it.
obviously, this song is about killing, literally or metaphorically, his love. "darlin' i think its time that i let you go, i dont feel any guilt as i touch your throat" he says he shouldn't have the girl anymore and he chokes her... "all for love you suffocate" continues the choking reference. "but i watch as you choke on your tears" is a really powerful line to me. she is choking from him suffocating her and also she is crying because he is doing so. normally, i dont think, one would cry while they were being choked, i would assume that one would be screaming and panicking. her crying shows that she really loved him and cared. "suddenly i feel so strong, i dont hear a single sound" he feels powerful for killing her, and since she is dead, all he hears is silence. "looking up towards the stars, i can see for very far" i never really could understand what those words meant but its very powerful. this song is romantic yet very eery, but thats why i love it
Wow, I never thought of it like that but now I've read your post it kind of makes sense. It's either how you say it is or just a very strong metaphor for ending a relationship.
good explanation, i love this song, itunes says i just listened to it today 21 one times...right now i'm obsessed, plus i'm trying to finish tabbing it out for guitar. I think this part, "looking up towards the stars, i can see for very far", is showing a sign of relief going back to "i feel so strong", it shows that he now is free. He can see so very far where he can be and not be tied down by this relationship. Great song, top 5 on my list.
I dont believe the song is about "literally" killing his girl. I think its more of a metaphore for "killing" the relationship. For one thing, he uses kind words when describing her (such as "likes me best", "Darling" ). Also, the line "All for love, you suffocate" has nothing to do with her "choking", but rather her suffocating Rivers by telling him "what to drink, not to smoke" etc. etc.... and she is doing this because she loves him so much. And finally, choking on your tears.... This is a dead on 100% acurate description of someone crying uncontrollably. Especially when you consider he killed the relationship with someone who was as in love with him as this song describes.
wow...i really love this song...i JUST heard it...and i'm already hooked...
for such dark lyrics, i think it has a happy-ish sound...
anyways...it's awesome...
