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.
Waiting For Something To Start
i Never Thought Life Could Tear Me Apart This Way
it's Just A Phase That I'm Going Through
i've Done It All And It's All That I Can Do
you Say You Could Save The World For Me
i Knew I'd Ruin It All Too Easy
so Easy, Can't Please Me
don't Leave Me Here Alone
just Let Me Start Again 'cause It Feels Like A Nightmare To Me
and Im Waking To This Amazing End
if It's The Only Way I See
you Can Say It's Just A Broken Dream
you Can Pretend You Know How Much It Means
to Fight For Something And Lose It All
to Realize That You're Up Against A Wall
tell Me What I Need To Hear My Dear
i'll Be Alright And Everything Will Begin To Clear
at Least It Can't Get Any Worse
if I Could Fight Long Enough I Could Break This
but Again I Slip And Fall
losing What I Can't Replace
i Can't Answer When You Call
if Only Just To Say Some Things
i Don't Know What I Was Doing Before
but I Just Can't Take This Bullshit Anymore
someone's Keeping Score
just Let Me Start Again 'cause It Feels Like A Nightmare To Me
and Im Waking To This Amazing End
if Its The Only Way I See
just Let Me Start Again 'cause It Feels Like A Nightmare To Me
and Im Waking To This Amazing End
if It's The Only I See
i Never Thought Life Could Tear Me Apart This Way
it's Just A Phase That I'm Going Through
i've Done It All And It's All That I Can Do
you Say You Could Save The World For Me
i Knew I'd Ruin It All Too Easy
so Easy, Can't Please Me
don't Leave Me Here Alone
just Let Me Start Again 'cause It Feels Like A Nightmare To Me
and Im Waking To This Amazing End
if It's The Only Way I See
you Can Say It's Just A Broken Dream
you Can Pretend You Know How Much It Means
to Fight For Something And Lose It All
to Realize That You're Up Against A Wall
tell Me What I Need To Hear My Dear
i'll Be Alright And Everything Will Begin To Clear
at Least It Can't Get Any Worse
if I Could Fight Long Enough I Could Break This
but Again I Slip And Fall
losing What I Can't Replace
i Can't Answer When You Call
if Only Just To Say Some Things
i Don't Know What I Was Doing Before
but I Just Can't Take This Bullshit Anymore
someone's Keeping Score
just Let Me Start Again 'cause It Feels Like A Nightmare To Me
and Im Waking To This Amazing End
if Its The Only Way I See
just Let Me Start Again 'cause It Feels Like A Nightmare To Me
and Im Waking To This Amazing End
if It's The Only I See

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
It reminds me of this boy i know. I always seemed to mess it up. Time and time again. I got tired of it. So i stopped talking to him. But he always seemed perfect. So it was the end.
But the correct lyrics are. "Cause it feels like a Nightmare to me. I'm welcoming the end"
The lyrics are....perfect heh. He has an amazing voice.
its about him meeting his new love polly and starting his life over again after going threew a down time
i like the music. I'm not sure what insturment they used but it's awesome.
