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.
""I'm going to cut you open like a fucking pig Peel away the flesh and drain out your veins. This time you will not forget the images of those you have denied. Fuck you get the fuck out My face will be the last thing you see. You better mark my words I come with no regards for anyone This time you bow to me my lord. I come with no regards for anyone. We are out for blood. The wolves are set free tonight Can't escape this attack. You better mark my words I come with no regards for anyone.""

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"

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
yeah they could have made this song a lot better I agree, but I love it nonetheless, along with everything else they have written.
The breakdown in this song drives anybodies mind insannnee.
*my name will be the last thing you say
Nice song, but what's these lyrics meaning?
the song is actually a refernece to dracula(who was based on the historic figure vladimir scepes dracul-scepes is romanian for the impaler i believe-) i suppose this could also be infered from the mention of blood, wolves, and evisceration as for "fuck you, get the fuck out" there was a romanian war in his lifespan....its likely they based this on some of vlad scepes actions just leaving a post about what i know i rather enjoyed this song
This song is alright, but Winds of Plague has alot better to offer. The breakdown is quite nice. The music video is shit though. I actually laughed. Scene kids love to bitch about how bad WoP is when they've only seen that one video. Annoying pricks =P.
I actually am fully convinced that this song is a huge jab at Avenged Sevenfold, if anyone here is a fan of Avenged Sevenfold they would know that Winds of Plagues music video for 'Impaler' is a complete RIP OFF of The Beast And The Harlot video. I was angered when I first saw it, but then it came to me that they are just mocking them, and if you think of they're lyrics as directed towards A7X it all starts to make more sense
This man's got it right, to an extent. The video's just ripping on all videos that have that rap-video-filmed-at-a-strip-club theme to them.
sounds like authority is going to pay a very high price
This song could have been way better. Scene kids are going to play this up like there's no tomorrow.
Good song, but they have better.
2 words: Fucking Amazing
Yeah Winds Of Plague Has Alot Better But This Song Is Still Amazing=]
