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.
Poisoned by your creed
Kill the faith to cure the sickness
Down on your knees
Prove to me you'll die for your belief
And when i purge all the morals you breed
To be clean to be clean
For the coming collapse of your dream
Your scattered bones will build my effigy
I wear the scar of the deceiver
And in the end when i've turned your lives to dust
And obliterated every trace of you from my mind
I'll be free to make this world my own
Don't cry to me, this is what you want
This is what you asked for
This is your prophecy
And i've come to see it through
Kill the faith to cure the sickness
Down on your knees
Prove to me you'll die for your belief
And when i purge all the morals you breed
To be clean to be clean
For the coming collapse of your dream
Your scattered bones will build my effigy
I wear the scar of the deceiver
And in the end when i've turned your lives to dust
And obliterated every trace of you from my mind
I'll be free to make this world my own
Don't cry to me, this is what you want
This is what you asked for
This is your prophecy
And i've come to see it through

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.

Ed Sheeran
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.
Awesome song. I cant believe that nobody has left comments on it. the most metal song I have ever heard P9 do. \m/
One of the best Psyclon Nine songs, obviously about the end of Christianity. And the forthcoming of a new society.
