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.

Shit girl, what planet you from? Mercury?
You burning me, hottest bird in the nursery
Feathers so colourful, make a male chirp
Flying round the place with the deadly curse
Yeah, if looks could kill a man
Female coppers got to follow you with body bags
The tempt is there full with sinful eggs
Grace the earth, burn apart, we follow your steps
Your lips are poisonous but taste sweet
Your eyes hypnotise and trap me
Damn, your body slithers like a snake
Curves have a nasty bite at my sight for my pain
Release me from your web of seduction
My dick's starving like veggos at the meat luncheon
I swear, you're serving some dark secret plan
You could be my Queen of the Damned
[Hook - Girl singing]
"Take it off"
Haha, you want me to?
"Baby, take it all off"
Nice and slow
"Take it off"
For you
"Baby, take it all off"
Baby
[Dazastah]
Underwear's hot like the bra section in Myer
But be like Eve before she got tricked by the viper
To eat the apple cause fruit looks delicious
They say you're innocent - I say you're vicious
Cause you make us drop with a look
Steady necks turn heads and open like a book
I wanna read your novel, tell me your tale
Bet your ass got more curve than roller coaster rails
When did you start painting on that boob tube so tight?
It's a wonder your head won't turn blue
Yeah, I'm a sucker for your ripe chest
I like watching summer sweat fall down to your crest
Man it's intense, you make Richard drool
Just at the sight when your nickers get loose
Floating down slowly like autumn leaves
Please take it off and give me the breeze

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"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.
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.
