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.
Abroche su cinturón, mi amor, que vamos a despegar
Un día de sol me fui para la playa
Y allí me encontré al amigo de Juana
Él me saludó, yo le contesté
Enseguidita vino corriendo
Y yo sin prisa lo esperé
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana
Me vino a decir que yo le gustaba
Y que Juana ya se lo imaginaba
Me besó por aquí, me besó por allá
Y con un apretoncito él me convenció
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay, Juanita, no te enojes, pues si ese hombre no es pa' tanto
Eh, está refeo el condenado
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
No que no
Un día de sol me fui para la playa
Y allí me encontré al amigo de Juana
Él me saludó, yo le contesté
Enseguidita vino corriendo
Y yo sin prisa lo esperé
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana, Juana
Me vino a decir que yo le gustaba
Y que Juana ya se lo imaginaba
Me besó por aquí, me besó por allá
Y con un apretoncito él me convenció
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que a su amiguito me encontré
Cómo yo le cuento a Juana
Que enseguidita me enamoré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay, Juanita, no te enojes, pues si ese hombre no es pa' tanto
Eh, está refeo el condenado
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
Ay Juana, cómo te lo cuento Juana
Ay Juana, cómo te lo contaré
No que no

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
