Jenseits der Berge
Weit hinter dem Horizont der Sterblichen
Gärten der ewigen Eklipse
Gärten der Nacht

Das Wissen um die Wahrheit formt wie Träume
Die Gärten der Nacht
Sie formen Wege, die verworren und voller Schönheit
In dunkle Blütenpracht getaucht
Durch die nächtlichen Haine
Über Brücken von pechschwarzem Marmor
Mit filigranen Mustern in Form gebannter Dunkelheit verziert
Wo der schwarzen Rosen Duft mich führte
Den Weg mir offenbarte
Vorbei an denen, die sich verhängnisvoll verirrt in den Gärten
Im Labyrinth der Erkenntnis
Gebeine derer, die die Wahrheit nicht kannten
Rosen umklammernd
Von Rosen umklammert
Ich roch die Süße der schwarzen Tulpen
Unter Akazien der Nacht
In dunkles Efeu geflochten ...

Bis mich des Tempels kalter Schlund verschlingt
In bizarren Symphonien
In weiten Treppenfluchten
Bis glatt und schwer das Ebenholz beiseite schwingt
"Willkommen in den Armen des Schattenreichgemachs"
Wo ein einsames Fenster in Efeu nahezu erblindet
Wo all das klare in vagen Schatten nahezu verschwindet

Schwarz verhängt an blinden Wänden
Hingen Spiegel im Gemach
Unser Abbild nicht zu rauben
Preiszugeben nicht der Nacht
Um mit niemandem zu teilen
Was die Dunkelheit gebracht
Verloren ...

Die Leere meiner Seele hallt wieder in Haß
Von Seuchen und Fäulnis der Gegenwart genährt
Hallt wieder in Schwarz

... und erstickend in Ekel vor diesem Dasein
Welches mich so grauenvoll gefangen hält
Rieche ich wieder der Nachtschattenblüten Duft
Lustwandelnd in den Gärten der Nacht
... frei ...

Ich greife nach den schwarzen Rosen
Als die Erinnerung zu schwinden droht
Das Bild entgleitet quälend langsam
... und wieder zitternd in der verhaßten Gegenwart
... schwarze Rosen in den blutig zerkratzten Händen

Herrin der Gärten jenseits der Berge
Prinzessin der Reiche, gebettet in Nacht
Wo sind deine verwunschenen Länder?
Die mich verbannten, als die Tücher fielen
Die Spiegel enthüllend
Welche mich erzürnt verschlangen
Als ein Trugbild einer trostlosen, scheinbaren Realität

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
