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.
How I crave the way the world spins under me,
But I sleep instead.
Grip a shallow shake,
With crippled company...
Who speak in my head.
The more messes I made,
The closer I came home...
From my roam.
Understoods are few,
Though im speaking in simple tongue.
Copaface.
Now find my way back home.
How I crave the wind the world gives spinning,
Though I dream instead.
South shallow song my box is closing...
Over my head
Binge;
Purge all day.
Fuck strangers,
I'll never know.
How cold.
Understoods are few,
So I'm speaking in difficult tongue.
Copaface.
Now find my way back home.
But I sleep instead.
Grip a shallow shake,
With crippled company...
Who speak in my head.
The more messes I made,
The closer I came home...
From my roam.
Understoods are few,
Though im speaking in simple tongue.
Copaface.
Now find my way back home.
How I crave the wind the world gives spinning,
Though I dream instead.
South shallow song my box is closing...
Over my head
Binge;
Purge all day.
Fuck strangers,
I'll never know.
How cold.
Understoods are few,
So I'm speaking in difficult tongue.
Copaface.
Now find my way back home.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
I absolutely love this song. Yet I'm beginning to think that our beloved Sonny is bulimic. But what do I know?
i'm sure he's not he's just looking through the eyes of a bulimic person
fftl just ain't the same no more
In my opinion the line "Binge; Purge all day. Fuck strangers, I'll never know. How cold." may have something to do with going on some sort of drug binge then going through withdrawals after the drugs and cash flow ran out possibly resulting in prostitution to pay for the habit, but thats just my take on it.
I believe Sonny was bulimic. It was confirmed practically everywhere. I mean, FFTL's song "waltz moore" pretty much speaks for itself.
Sonny writes beautiful songs with such expression. He a true poet. I can't wait for his cd to come out ^_^
In regards to my previous post, I kind of take it back. ^_^
I don't know anymore. I mean, he gives a lot of references to bulimia in his lyrics like this one, "waltz moore", "world war me", and so on, but I guess you always have to take everything you read on the internet with a pinch of salt, sort of speak. Maybe it's just a metaphor for something else, or just an example of self-hate.
Regardless, Sonny is still my idol and inspiration.
You can really look up to this kid 'cause he's been through Hell and back and still comes out strong. And with beautiful lyrics to describe his journey.
listen to mora directly after this it sounds like it should go together
Sonny was bullimic. If you listen to some of his old music, you could tell, But hopefully he's out of it. :)
