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.
I feel the heat, the fire that burns
Deep in my soul, as this hell-ride returns
No one around to hear me cry out
Open my mouth, but I can't make a sound
I feel the weight of the world sometimes hanging on my head
Whoa
Look for the light at the end of this tunnel once again
I'm taking bout the right state of the right state of
The right state of your mind
Fear for the worst I can't catch my breath
My heart beats to the sound of unrest
Pulse racing high,my thoughts are so low
Reach out my hand, but there's no one to hold
We walk alone through this strange life
It can be so cold sometimes,
Whoa
Just close my eyes and remember
If you search you just might find
I'm talking bout the right state of
The right state of
The right state of your mind
I feel the weight of the world sometimes
Hanging on my head,whoa
Look for the light at the end of this tunnel one again
I'm talking bout the right state of the right state of
The right state of your mind
I'm talking bout the right state of the right state of
The right state of your mind
Deep in my soul, as this hell-ride returns
No one around to hear me cry out
Open my mouth, but I can't make a sound
I feel the weight of the world sometimes hanging on my head
Whoa
Look for the light at the end of this tunnel once again
I'm taking bout the right state of the right state of
The right state of your mind
Fear for the worst I can't catch my breath
My heart beats to the sound of unrest
Pulse racing high,my thoughts are so low
Reach out my hand, but there's no one to hold
We walk alone through this strange life
It can be so cold sometimes,
Whoa
Just close my eyes and remember
If you search you just might find
I'm talking bout the right state of
The right state of
The right state of your mind
I feel the weight of the world sometimes
Hanging on my head,whoa
Look for the light at the end of this tunnel one again
I'm talking bout the right state of the right state of
The right state of your mind
I'm talking bout the right state of the right state of
The right state of your mind

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
Well, I know that the lead singer of the caddies is a hypochondriac as it's stated in his bio on the MC site. So I kind of relate to it in that way, with the anxiety and panic. But it's defienetly one of those songs with a universal messege, where it can be left up to interpitation.
Great, great song. As always, with the Mad Caddies.
