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.
Tragedy goes away
Hate filled rage
Takes the stage
But you´re neutered in the night
Blinded by the bite
Irony and spite
Sarcastic delight
Live to die on stage
Driven by the rage
Hating your own face
Comedic disgrace
HATREDY
HATREDY
Stand before the jury
Die in flames of fury
Comedy is DETH
HATREDY
Step into the spotlight
Laughter is a DETH-right
Crash and burn in horror
Make them squirm
Want to leave
After they buy their drinks
I hate this audience
Regardless of applaudience
Like to take you away
Burn in piles of hate
I hate the talent here
So dull and so full of fear
I'll beat you all to the punch
With an axe and a hack to the guts
I'll take the microphone stand
Run it through your neck
Cut of both your hands
Is this thing ever fucking on?
Are you fucking deaf
Or just too scared to run
Please take my wife
Please take my wife
Then I'll take your life
Then I'll fuck your wife
Just a fucking joke
No it's kinda not
There's a little truth
In every single shot
Fueled by hate
Await your fate
Your time has come
To DIE on stage
It's funny
Because it's not
It's funny
Because it's not
It's funny
Because it's not
It's funny
Because it's not
Because it's not
Because it's not
Fueled by hate
Await your fate
Your time has come
To DIE on stage
Fueled by hate
Await your fate
Your time has come
To DIE on stage
DIE
DIE
DIE
Hate filled rage
Takes the stage
But you´re neutered in the night
Blinded by the bite
Irony and spite
Sarcastic delight
Live to die on stage
Driven by the rage
Hating your own face
Comedic disgrace
HATREDY
HATREDY

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"

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.

This is all right i think, but there are two exceptions: Instead of: "Step into the Spotlight" i think he sings:"Stand before the Spotlight" And instead of:"Burn in piles of hate" im really sure he sings: "Burn YOU in piles of hate" With that two exceptions everthing should be right now
