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.
Iras led his four new friends
To the mountain of Erinor
The only passage known to men
In the plains of the darklands
Shades of fear along their way
Naroth's breath sorrounds the rocks
The fire burns to warm their bones
To protect them at moonlight's fall
Fire don't stop to burn
Flame of the ancient sun
In their brave heart awakes their pride
After 5000 years
Nekron swears to return
May your courage free our world
Five heroes are ready
To challenge real terror
Black order's awaking
Nekron's reborn
Elected by Elgard's most secret alliance
Now they are the guardians of destiny
A glorious vision from mountain high
Only seen with an eagle's eye
They dare to fly, they shall not fall
Fly to Hargor's stately walls
Walls of ancient hellish night
In the darkest of the night
Only men who denied the light
Have the right to cross that line
Fire don't stop to burn
Flame of the ancient sun
In their brave heart awakes their pride
After 5000 years
Nekron swears to return
May your courage free our world
Five heroes are ready
To challenge real terror
Black order's awaking
Nekron's reborn
Elected by Elgard's most secret alliance
Now they are the guardians of destiny
To the mountain of Erinor
The only passage known to men
In the plains of the darklands
Shades of fear along their way
Naroth's breath sorrounds the rocks
The fire burns to warm their bones
To protect them at moonlight's fall
Fire don't stop to burn
Flame of the ancient sun
In their brave heart awakes their pride
After 5000 years
Nekron swears to return
May your courage free our world
Five heroes are ready
To challenge real terror
Black order's awaking
Nekron's reborn
Elected by Elgard's most secret alliance
Now they are the guardians of destiny
A glorious vision from mountain high
Only seen with an eagle's eye
They dare to fly, they shall not fall
Fly to Hargor's stately walls
Walls of ancient hellish night
In the darkest of the night
Only men who denied the light
Have the right to cross that line
Fire don't stop to burn
Flame of the ancient sun
In their brave heart awakes their pride
After 5000 years
Nekron swears to return
May your courage free our world
Five heroes are ready
To challenge real terror
Black order's awaking
Nekron's reborn
Elected by Elgard's most secret alliance
Now they are the guardians of destiny

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”

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.
