At A Loss

10 Years

Here we in are red
Suffocating in this tie
Down with you with me
Unable to breathe force fed
Blind to this so long
Thread in mouth all senses gone
Leaves my back my chest
Six feet down it's buried dead

Turn to your back and walk away

(cut out the face, do as I say)
Twisting and turning why isn't this working
(cut out the face) For what cause
(do as I say) At what cost
Twisting and turning why isn't this working

Beg plead and scream
Show me what you will
I’ll watch straight faced
Not another cheek
Eyes swollen
A shape I'd like to kill
Here you are in red
Stunned as you may feel

Turn to your back and walk away

(cut out the face, do as I say)
Twisting and turning why isn't this working
(cut out the face) For what cause
(do as I say) At what cost
Twisting and turning why isn't this working

I'm lifting a burden
Pointless diversion

Just try

    I get the sense that someone, maybe a person he was dating, just confessed to him. This person tries to apologize, but he doesn't accept.

    That's what I got from it anyway.

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.

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.
