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.
Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
Racing to the top with golden rays of light
I never felt so free and yet so dangerous
The night was electronic painted red with lust
I move, you chase, we magnetize
A time I was exploding with no warning sign
[Chorus]
Dynamite
Electrify me all night
Dynamite
Just give it to me, I won't bite
Dynamite
You make me feel, it's alright
Dynamite
Shine it on me
Caught up in this moment I was hypnotized
Shake this feeling got me paralyzed
I do, I don't, I think I might
My body was electric like a flashing light
[Chorus]
A change, a change is coming
A change, a change is coming
All around me that a change is bout to happen
The energy igniting has become my inspiration
If you take a deeper look you'll find the information
I'm only just a figment of controlled imagination
[Chorus]
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) Electrify me
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) I won't bite
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) Just give it to me
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh o-uh o-uh)
Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(o-o-uh o-uh o-uh) Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(o-o-uh o-uh o-uh) Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(Yeah, give it to me)
(Uh, oh)
(Uh, oh)
Racing to the top with golden rays of light
I never felt so free and yet so dangerous
The night was electronic painted red with lust
I move, you chase, we magnetize
A time I was exploding with no warning sign
[Chorus]
Dynamite
Electrify me all night
Dynamite
Just give it to me, I won't bite
Dynamite
You make me feel, it's alright
Dynamite
Shine it on me
Caught up in this moment I was hypnotized
Shake this feeling got me paralyzed
I do, I don't, I think I might
My body was electric like a flashing light
[Chorus]
A change, a change is coming
A change, a change is coming
All around me that a change is bout to happen
The energy igniting has become my inspiration
If you take a deeper look you'll find the information
I'm only just a figment of controlled imagination
[Chorus]
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) Electrify me
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) I won't bite
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh) Just give it to me
(o-o-uh, o-o-uh, o-o-uh o-uh o-uh)
Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(o-o-uh o-uh o-uh) Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(o-o-uh o-uh o-uh) Dancing til the morning on a velvet sky
(Yeah, give it to me)
(Uh, oh)
(Uh, oh)

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.
Page

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.
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.
For me this song Better than "Keeps Geting Better"
Can't Believe that anyone didn't comment on it. :S
