One, two, three, four!

Who is that person inside you thinking?
Beneath memories, through the conditioning?
Do your insecurities
Obscure your reality?
The image we've created, it should always be debated,
We must question what's being stated, through observation comes awareness.

It's not that complicated,
We are complicated.
Why?

We're led blindly by our egos, we have no goals, we have no purpose,
Trying to find that special something, we fail to even scratch the surface.
Going for the sake of going to a place where we can keep on going,
Going without ever knowing where it is we should be going.
The beginning of the wisdom, yeah, it lies in recognition
That the ego is not the self, the two are already one.

It's not that complicated,
We are complicated.
Why?

Wake... up... let... go.
If only we could see it, then maybe we could be it.
We've already got it, we just gotta realise it.
Wake... up!

Survival comes down to biology,
There's the physics and the chemistry.
We got politics and philosophy,
Metaphysics and theology.
But remember that what you desire to know is simple rather than complex,
Present rather than absent and oblivious rather than hidden.

You've just gotta realise it,
Cop on to your ego.
Can't you see we’re swimming in a sea of bullshit.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
