you were so close to the cliff
i didn't even care to notice
rain fell over our heads
my throat trembled and said

i cover myself with your eyes
cover myself for the first time
see to it that i will have you
capture you when the warmth comes

learn how your body moves
when i am next to you
you are the whiskey on my lips
holding it when i am so far

i choose to forget your name
far away it will all be the same
have you break, oh, in two
every time i have to leave you

please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly
please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly

this will come down so hard
we will ache for a new start
in so, oh, absent arms
to this we'll fall apart

i will arrive on a rainy day
show face, oh, at your door
you will tell me all the ways
that i will want you more

on my living room floor
so well i will explore
i will feel this even when
i cannot breathe you in

i don't remember the taxi ride
you will forget how i feel on the insides
this will mean nothing in time
in time this will mean nothing

please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly
please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly

please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly
please don't you don't think of me
in time this will mean nothing

please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly
please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly
please don't you don't think of me
i'm nothing honestly

please don't you think of me
in time this will mean nothing

    i feel the lyrics maybe referring to a sexual encounter?... but to me its how any relationship, all kinds of relationships die out and its okay that things dont last... you will forget how i feel on the insides is my favorite lyric <3.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
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
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.
