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.
Government Man
Important Man
Walking around at night
He's got his whiskey
He's got his briefcase
He's gonna be alright
Now when you hear those sirens
Don't you think it's only gone by a drill
'cause when El Presidente pulls the trigger
He always shoots to kill
There are Germans in Mexico
Germans In Mexico
Taking over tonight
Falling in love with your daughter
There's only so many rabbits
That you can pull out of your hat
There's only so much time now
You know we're running out of that
Ayudame, American fighter jets!
For without you we shall not win
They come with the light and take our women for sale in Berlin
There are Germans in Mexico
Germans In Mexico
Taking over tonight
Falling in love with your daughter
Taking over tonight
Falling in love with your daughter
Sing everbody "Deutsche Deutsche"
Vaya con dios amigos!

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Not that we Germans have any interest in invading Mexico ... I like the song anyway as long as you see it as a joke. What sometimes is hard to believe by E6s despite towards Germany.
