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.
Ton image dans le miroir parle
Comme si tu savais que tout te flatte
Non jamais on ne pourra toucher
Cette peau de plastique
C'est toute ta fierté
Depuis le jour où tu as su
Que ma vie t'appartenait complètement
Toi qui murmure et murmure
Toi, un petit peu comme le dessin des ailes des papillons
Loin, lequel, laquelle
Toi, le condensé de tout ce qui est à moi
Ne se fanera jamais
Cette seule et unique beauté
Tu m'as appris la jalousie
Ce tout petit univers
Tu n'as pardonné qu'à moi la possession
Je ne veux pas que l'on me dérange
Minuscule dans le kaléidoscope
Toi, multiple
Dans les mains jointes ou rassemblées (je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais)
(Tu sais)
Comme si tu savais que tout te flatte
Non jamais on ne pourra toucher
Cette peau de plastique
C'est toute ta fierté
Depuis le jour où tu as su
Que ma vie t'appartenait complètement
Toi qui murmure et murmure
Toi, un petit peu comme le dessin des ailes des papillons
Loin, lequel, laquelle
Toi, le condensé de tout ce qui est à moi
Ne se fanera jamais
Cette seule et unique beauté
Tu m'as appris la jalousie
Ce tout petit univers
Tu n'as pardonné qu'à moi la possession
Je ne veux pas que l'on me dérange
Minuscule dans le kaléidoscope
Toi, multiple
Dans les mains jointes ou rassemblées (je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais, je t'aime)
(Tu sais)
(Tu sais)

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
