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.
Fly, Great Bird Taus - Fly to the sun
Your feathers and the crown, the symbols of your strength
Taus (in) your follower's danbe
The offspring of Azael - Accused as apostates
But they're blessed by Melek al Kawat, ask whose guest shall the Sanjak be?
Melek Taus
Sheik Adi, Yeizid - Say Hol Hola!
The Peacock Lord is here, the Serpent King will rise
Seven angels, seven Seihs - Waiting on Mount Lalesh
Until the day they hear you pronounce "As behre Azide Sarum!"
Hear the Peacock Lord declare:
"Don't say my secret name!
I was, am now shall have no end...
you will know me as Melek Taus"
Melek Taus
Your feathers and the crown, the symbols of your strength
Taus (in) your follower's danbe
The offspring of Azael - Accused as apostates
But they're blessed by Melek al Kawat, ask whose guest shall the Sanjak be?
Melek Taus
Sheik Adi, Yeizid - Say Hol Hola!
The Peacock Lord is here, the Serpent King will rise
Seven angels, seven Seihs - Waiting on Mount Lalesh
Until the day they hear you pronounce "As behre Azide Sarum!"
Hear the Peacock Lord declare:
"Don't say my secret name!
I was, am now shall have no end...
you will know me as Melek Taus"
Melek Taus

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.
