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.
Duermo en un acorde mágico
Y despierto al oírlo tocar
Soy la esencia de la humanidad
Represento la promiscuidad
De las almas que enferman de paz
Me presento, soy la libertad
De tu cuerpo y no cobro con fe
Y ahora dime, ¿cuánto vale tu alma?
Y ahora pide, ¿dinero o placer?
¿Sueñas con curar el cáncer?
El SIDA fue cosa de Yahvé
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
El Príncipe de la Dulce Pena soy
Y mi sangre alimenta tu ser
La lujuria de mis alas
Roza tus pechos y araña tu piel
Bebe, embriaga tus vicios
Decide, ¿orgasmos o amor?
La única Iglesia que ilumina es la que arde
El Nazareno duerme en su Cruz
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Oh Señor, rey de la tristeza
Ángel del dulce dolor
Bebe la hiel de mi boca
Blasfema, ven, hazme el amor
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Si tocas en mi honor, saldré de este infierno
Dame tu alma, no quiero morir
Y despierto al oírlo tocar
Soy la esencia de la humanidad
Represento la promiscuidad
De las almas que enferman de paz
Me presento, soy la libertad
De tu cuerpo y no cobro con fe
Y ahora dime, ¿cuánto vale tu alma?
Y ahora pide, ¿dinero o placer?
¿Sueñas con curar el cáncer?
El SIDA fue cosa de Yahvé
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
El Príncipe de la Dulce Pena soy
Y mi sangre alimenta tu ser
La lujuria de mis alas
Roza tus pechos y araña tu piel
Bebe, embriaga tus vicios
Decide, ¿orgasmos o amor?
La única Iglesia que ilumina es la que arde
El Nazareno duerme en su Cruz
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Oh Señor, rey de la tristeza
Ángel del dulce dolor
Bebe la hiel de mi boca
Blasfema, ven, hazme el amor
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Y sé que moriré de amor decadente
Lúgubres besos, quémate en mí
Quiero estar junto a ti y alimentar tu boca
Hay veces que el dolor duerme en una canción
Si tocas en mi honor, saldré de este infierno
Dame tu alma, no quiero morir

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
