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.
There are things in this world, that I don't understand.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.
Sometimes when I'm far away from you,
I get a little lost, a little out of my element.
I miss the way your body burns, when we melt alone.
There are things in this world, that I don't understand.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.
Sometimes when I let my mind run free
It never fails, it goes right to you,
And a smile takes a hold of me.
I miss the way your body burns, when we melt alone.
There are things in this world, that I don't understand.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.
There are things in this world, that I don't understand.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.
Sometimes when I'm far away from you,
I get a little lost, a little out of my element.
I miss the way your body burns, when we melt alone.
There are things in this world, that I don't understand.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.
Sometimes when I let my mind run free
It never fails, it goes right to you,
And a smile takes a hold of me.
I miss the way your body burns, when we melt alone.
There are things in this world, that I don't understand.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.
There are things in this world, that I don't understand.
Like, Love, war, gravity, or the lay of the land.
But all of these remain mysteries,
But one thing is for sure, you are worth living for.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
