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 can't explain a thing
I want everything
To change and stay the same on top
Doesn't care about anyone or anything
Now come together, come apart
Only get lonely when you read the charts
Oh baby, when they made me
They broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around
Then I got cold
Throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Oh change will come
Oh change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We never believe again
Kick drum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
Oh, I'm a mascot for what you've become
And oh, oh, I love the mayhem more than the love
And oh baby, when they made me
They broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around
When I got cold
Throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Oh change will come
Oh change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We never believe again
Kick drum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
Oh, throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em 'cause I just don't care
Oh, throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em 'cause I just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Oh change will come
Oh change will come
I will never believe in anything again
Oh, change will come
Oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We will never believe again
Kickdrum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
We will never believe again
Kickdrum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
We will never believe again
I want everything
To change and stay the same on top
Doesn't care about anyone or anything
Now come together, come apart
Only get lonely when you read the charts
Oh baby, when they made me
They broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around
Then I got cold
Throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Oh change will come
Oh change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We never believe again
Kick drum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
Oh, I'm a mascot for what you've become
And oh, oh, I love the mayhem more than the love
And oh baby, when they made me
They broke the mold
Girls used to follow me around
When I got cold
Throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Oh change will come
Oh change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We never believe again
Kick drum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
Oh, throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em 'cause I just don't care
Oh, throw your cameras in the air
And wave 'em 'cause I just don't care
I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Oh change will come
Oh change will come
I will never believe in anything again
Oh, change will come
Oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again
We will never believe again
Kickdrum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
We will never believe again
Kickdrum beating in my chest again
Oh we will never believe again
Preach electric to a microphone stand
We will never believe again

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"
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.

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
amazing song x40002349
sorry for the drastic understatement.
