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.
You say everything comes
If you don't turn your back
And I wait everyday
Sometimes this patience I lack
Because it's just
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you.
It takes all of me
To keep my eyes off of the floor
And this makes tomorrow seem
Harder than ever before
Because it's just
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my
Why does this seem to be
Right in front of me
Intangible dreams we pursue
Why it's so hard to see
Is eluding me
I can't believe that it's true
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you.
If you don't turn your back
And I wait everyday
Sometimes this patience I lack
Because it's just
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you.
It takes all of me
To keep my eyes off of the floor
And this makes tomorrow seem
Harder than ever before
Because it's just
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my
Why does this seem to be
Right in front of me
Intangible dreams we pursue
Why it's so hard to see
Is eluding me
I can't believe that it's true
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America.

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
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.
In my opinion, This song is about a girl who kept promising a guy things...but never did what she promised...And was just like everyone else he had been with...He goes through hell with her...Because he wants to be with her so bad, but she wont say yes. and he wishes that she could just be his, and no one elses but there are so many people she's with that he is afraid that she will forget about him. He wants her to remember him and everything she meant to him...And she's a dream that he just can't have...Though, he can't get her out of his head...
This is probably one of my favorite Evergreen Terrace songs...It means so much to me that I could just cry...I've relied on this song through my last heartbreak... I'm glad I could actually say that openly now...
weirdly, I seem to think that this song is about the current music scene now & them trying to survive among the insincere clones that's crowding up the scene. That's just what I think, because it does sorta tie up with the whole title of the album & the meaning behind the title.
I could be wrong though
It could be that as well...Thats just what I think of when I hear this song. You've got a good point though, d00d
Im gonna have to stray from that and say i think this song is about him going through a break up with some girl who seemingly just threw away a long term relationship like it was nothing, so he wants her to remember him if nothing else. And every day is another struggle to just get through it cause its the same old stuff each day without her.
I'm definitely agree with th1re3n.
Dude i agree with delicatetuffy14....on everything...i love this song!
