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.
Fuck you and your selfish ways!
Somebody kill me, slice my neck, somebody show me some fucking respect
Instead of all this silence cause I'm angry I need violence
Fuck me up spill my guts someone teach me to trust
I'm high and drunk faded as fuck staring down barrels I'm looking for love
Instead I see corpses and slow rigor mortis in coroners offices
Sipping on trussing
Father will you forgive me cause to love I'm a slave
I've been fucked by temptation and smacked in the face
And I've faced everything I had to face when my family was erased
And everyday I'm awake is just another disgrace
Give me pills I'm addicted to the thrill put my body in a chill
Give me shit that shoots to kill like you killed my mother
Little girl in the mirror with no one to love her
Take a look at my soul tear me apart
Cause I'm living cold I'm living cold I'm living cold
Now I need discipline I need silence sicker than sick my virus is violence
Rip at my flesh and then make me whole I'm losing control I'm losing control
Jesus Christ give me a sign give me a cross let me crucify
I'm so fucking vain vanity whore I'm such a fiend I got to have more
I got to have more
I need some affection I need some distraction I need some attention
Smack me choke me pull my hair promise you'll stay but you'll never be there
Do you love me? Do you car? Fuck you! I hate you! Life isn't fair!
I need to feel something before I'm just nothing
So cut me or kill me or fuck me or something
Take a look at my soul tear me apart
Cause I'm living cold I'm living cold I'm living cold
Violence it takes over me Violence it takes over me
And I don't want your love your love
Do you love me? Do you care?
Do you love me? Do you care?
Do you love me? Do you care?
Fuck you! I hate you! My life isn't fair!
Fuck you and your selfish ways
Fuck you and your selfish ways
Fuck you and your selfish ways
Somebody kill me, slice my neck, somebody show me some fucking respect
Instead of all this silence cause I'm angry I need violence
Fuck me up spill my guts someone teach me to trust
I'm high and drunk faded as fuck staring down barrels I'm looking for love
Instead I see corpses and slow rigor mortis in coroners offices
Sipping on trussing
Father will you forgive me cause to love I'm a slave
I've been fucked by temptation and smacked in the face
And I've faced everything I had to face when my family was erased
And everyday I'm awake is just another disgrace
Give me pills I'm addicted to the thrill put my body in a chill
Give me shit that shoots to kill like you killed my mother
Little girl in the mirror with no one to love her
Take a look at my soul tear me apart
Cause I'm living cold I'm living cold I'm living cold
Now I need discipline I need silence sicker than sick my virus is violence
Rip at my flesh and then make me whole I'm losing control I'm losing control
Jesus Christ give me a sign give me a cross let me crucify
I'm so fucking vain vanity whore I'm such a fiend I got to have more
I got to have more
I need some affection I need some distraction I need some attention
Smack me choke me pull my hair promise you'll stay but you'll never be there
Do you love me? Do you car? Fuck you! I hate you! Life isn't fair!
I need to feel something before I'm just nothing
So cut me or kill me or fuck me or something
Take a look at my soul tear me apart
Cause I'm living cold I'm living cold I'm living cold
Violence it takes over me Violence it takes over me
And I don't want your love your love
Do you love me? Do you care?
Do you love me? Do you care?
Do you love me? Do you care?
Fuck you! I hate you! My life isn't fair!
Fuck you and your selfish ways
Fuck you and your selfish ways
Fuck you and your selfish ways

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.
Magical

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.
