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.
She was My Heart, my soul, my girl, my life
I want that shit, I'll make that sacrifice.
You know I know, you know What's on my mind
I like the sex but where just wastin' time
No replay's, like Shifty please stay
Sick of breakin' up every other week day
And we can't seem to see, eye to eye
You even yell when I try to get high
And I can't keep you, your evil
And all my friends think that I should leave you
It's a stand still that I try to see through
But your actin' like a bitch so I got to leave you
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
My time
You came, I went, you sore, I fucked, I left.
Went neck to neck, but now it's sudden death.
Get out of my bed, I came to make it mine.
Don't won't no head, stop all that wastin' time.
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
My time
Waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
My time
I'm mad but, I packed your bags up.
Put 'em by the door, you can have that stuff.
Story of them all, and a man's bad luck
But it's all for the best I guess, Next
Now I feel like the man on the moon, like
Staring down on the world lookin' for a new girl
And a new life, now I guess one day, some day I'm a get it right
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
My time
Your just a waste of my
Time
I want that shit, I'll make that sacrifice.
You know I know, you know What's on my mind
I like the sex but where just wastin' time
No replay's, like Shifty please stay
Sick of breakin' up every other week day
And we can't seem to see, eye to eye
You even yell when I try to get high
And I can't keep you, your evil
And all my friends think that I should leave you
It's a stand still that I try to see through
But your actin' like a bitch so I got to leave you
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
My time
You came, I went, you sore, I fucked, I left.
Went neck to neck, but now it's sudden death.
Get out of my bed, I came to make it mine.
Don't won't no head, stop all that wastin' time.
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
Your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
My time
Waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time

My time
Your just a waste of my

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
Obvious meaning. With no "f-ing", that's an even biggest waste. NOTHING there.
