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.
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
I don't miss you
Just who you used to be
And you don't ring true
So please stop calling me
Your I love you's are ten a penny
You're dropping clues like you've got any
You've got to choose, there's been so many
I love you, baby
But face it, she's Madonna
No man on earth
Could say that he don't want her
This look of love
Says I'm leaving
You're frozen now
I've done the freezing
I'm walking out
Madonna's calling me
She's got to be
Obscene to be believed
That's her routine
Not what she means to me
I found myself by circumstance
Across a room where people dance
And quite by chance
She danced right next me
I love you, baby
But face it, she's Madonna
No man on earth would say
That he don't want her
It's me not you
I've got to move on
You're younger too
But she's got her groove on
I'm sorry, love
Madonna's calling me
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
I want to tell you a secret
We're having drinks
With Kate and Stella
Gwyneth's here
She's brought her fella
But all I wanna do
Is take Madonna home
I love you, baby
But face it, she's Madonna
No man on earth would say
That he don't want her
It's me not you
I've got to move on
You're younger too
But she's got her groove on
I'm sorry, love
Madonna's calling me
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
I don't miss you
Just who you used to be
And you don't ring true
So please stop calling me
Your I love you's are ten a penny
You're dropping clues like you've got any
You've got to choose, there's been so many
I love you, baby
But face it, she's Madonna
No man on earth
Could say that he don't want her
This look of love
Says I'm leaving
You're frozen now
I've done the freezing
I'm walking out
Madonna's calling me
She's got to be
Obscene to be believed
That's her routine
Not what she means to me
I found myself by circumstance
Across a room where people dance
And quite by chance
She danced right next me
I love you, baby
But face it, she's Madonna
No man on earth would say
That he don't want her
It's me not you
I've got to move on
You're younger too
But she's got her groove on
I'm sorry, love
Madonna's calling me
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
I want to tell you a secret
We're having drinks
With Kate and Stella
Gwyneth's here
She's brought her fella
But all I wanna do
Is take Madonna home
I love you, baby
But face it, she's Madonna
No man on earth would say
That he don't want her
It's me not you
I've got to move on
You're younger too
But she's got her groove on
I'm sorry, love
Madonna's calling me

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
Before I was watching the video for the 1st time I thought the song is about Madonna and the kind of singers she represents:"She's got to be Obscene to be believed That's her routine". The one with a plain voice and and provocative attitude to get attention, who are trendy but probably might not leave a legacy to next generations. After watching the video the song title "She's MAdonna" becomes more and more interesting because of the question Who is the "She" in the line"She's Madonna". Robbie is dressed as a women, does that mean he refers the song title (or the whole song) to himself? That fits to the video's plot in which Robbie at the end sings in a club and noone is really listening to him.
