In the city I wander
worms get smashed under
all those people are busy with things

And here I go crazy
and there I get lazy
like a calf that is growing six legs

My body's slowly
figuring out how
it fits in the moments of missing

Steady in my thoughts
I soften the tight knots
My stomach's alright, though it's twisting

On a beautiful surf
I found a seaweed person
in hot light reflected green on the sand

I was a little uncertain
that some things might hurt me
in the night I hid my eyes with my hand

Then off of the breeze
I heard a sudden burst and
in fright imagined thumps on the land

There is a house on the trees
where all the shadows work and
they don't make their plans your plans

And maybe I'm naive
to say you should just breathe
and float out of pain when it's hissing

'Cause here I sit crying
and she's not here, I am
I can't handle a moment she's missing

Then I eat with my people
and I laugh at the steeples
'cause Hell is my own bad thinking

I know that the rain moves
and enters the dream pools
and diamonds are days with fire

And you help the sneeze
for as long as you could
just to cast it to the sneezing void

I think I have a disease
that makes my hearing imperfect
but at least I make some wonderful noise

And back in the trees
I saw a shadow's birth, but
no one said it's a girl or a boy

You can take all you want
from another person
In the end you find you lose your voice

In the city I wander
worms get smashed under
the streets where all those people are busy

Here I go crazy
but there I feel lazy
like a calf that is growing six legs

My body's slowly
figuring out how
it fits into moments of missing

    My Interpretation

    I think that "Sasong" is meant to be a "Sad Song." The lyrics seem to be about a sad time, when Avey is recovering from a breakup and looking out at the sad things in the world. The "worms" could be symbolic of people that get stepped on, the "calf that is growing six legs" a representation of the people who just don't fit in.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
