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.
Gloria, my Gloria
Things ain't been the same since you've been away yeah
Gloria, my Gloria
I don't wanna see, another day
Seems like only yesterday
I beheld your sweet face
And in my lonely room are memories
Of your embrace
Gloria, my Gloria
Things ain't been the same since you been away, yeah, yeah
Gloria, oh baby
I don't wanna see another day
Isn't it funny, how time can change
All the things you once believed
But time won't change, the way i feel
Cause in my mind, it's still you and me
You and me
Gloria, my Gloria, yeah
Things ain't been the same since you been away, yeah, yeah
Gloria, oh baby I don't wanna see
Another day
I don't wanna see, naw, another day
Without your love, I don't wanna see, no, another day
It's a real sad thing, but I, oh I
Don't wanna see another day
Without your love I don't wanna see, no, another day
It's gonna hurt me but I, don't wanna see
Not another day
Don't wanna see
Something strange is happening
You don't belong to me anymore it seems
I'm all alone in my dreams, yeah
I just feel so weak
No one knows the pain I see, when I'm all alone
Now that you're gone
My world is cold, my friends are few
Without you here my joy seems cruel
And when you left you took all of me
What can I do?
It's you that I need, baby baby
It's you that I need, I'm lonely
It's you that I need, come on baby
Come back home
It's you that I need
It's you that I need
It's you that I need right now
It's you that I need yeah, yeah
Baby baby it's you that I need (3x)
Baby baby
Baby baby it's you that I need (3x)
Baby baby
Baby baby it's you that I need (2x)
Things ain't been the same since you've been away yeah
Gloria, my Gloria
I don't wanna see, another day
Seems like only yesterday
I beheld your sweet face
And in my lonely room are memories
Of your embrace
Gloria, my Gloria
Things ain't been the same since you been away, yeah, yeah
Gloria, oh baby
I don't wanna see another day
Isn't it funny, how time can change
All the things you once believed
But time won't change, the way i feel
Cause in my mind, it's still you and me
You and me
Gloria, my Gloria, yeah
Things ain't been the same since you been away, yeah, yeah
Gloria, oh baby I don't wanna see
Another day
I don't wanna see, naw, another day
Without your love, I don't wanna see, no, another day
It's a real sad thing, but I, oh I
Don't wanna see another day
Without your love I don't wanna see, no, another day
It's gonna hurt me but I, don't wanna see
Not another day
Don't wanna see
Something strange is happening
You don't belong to me anymore it seems
I'm all alone in my dreams, yeah
I just feel so weak
No one knows the pain I see, when I'm all alone

My world is cold, my friends are few

And when you left you took all of me
What can I do?
It's you that I need, baby baby
It's you that I need, I'm lonely
It's you that I need, come on baby
Come back home
It's you that I need
It's you that I need
It's you that I need right now
It's you that I need yeah, yeah
Baby baby it's you that I need (3x)
Baby baby
Baby baby it's you that I need (3x)

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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
“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.
