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.
Falling in hate with you
More and more everyday
Falling away from this in every way
Is it right is it wrong
You and I don't belong
Falling in hate nothing to say don't want to hear you
Falling away nothing to give no
Falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
Falling away nothing to live for
To you its a game to me its a joke
A mile to hang by with one inch of rope
Is it wrong is it right
You and I day and night
Falling in hate nothing to say don't want to hear you
Falling away nothing to give no
Falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
Falling away nothing to live for
Despite what you think of me
And despite what you say
I gave you everything
And you threw it away
Falling in hate nothing to say don't want to hear you
Falling away nothing to give no
Falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
Falling away nothing to live for
More and more everyday
Falling away from this in every way
Is it right is it wrong
You and I don't belong
Falling in hate nothing to say don't want to hear you
Falling away nothing to give no
Falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
Falling away nothing to live for
To you its a game to me its a joke
A mile to hang by with one inch of rope
Is it wrong is it right
You and I day and night
Falling in hate nothing to say don't want to hear you
Falling away nothing to give no
Falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
Falling away nothing to live for
Despite what you think of me
And despite what you say
I gave you everything
And you threw it away
Falling in hate nothing to say don't want to hear you
Falling away nothing to give no
Falling in hate nothing but fear in you heart
Falling away nothing to live for

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.
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory commented to Metal Hammer: "You could call this the equivalent of 'Meet The Monster' from the first album — a heavy, grinding, nasty riff, greasy and aggressive." He added: "In rehearsals, we were playing the song in a more measured way, but that gave it too much of a 'doomy' quality, which we didn't really want. However, the moment we speeded it up a bit, everything fell into place. The only trouble was, the breakdown section in the middle already featured a double-time riff, so once we decided to quicken the pace, it made that section even harder to play! I think it's the ugliest breakdown I've ever heard!"
Bathory joked to Kerrang!: "I think that more than anything this song taught us that before we write and record in future we need to hook Ivan [Moody, vocals]' up with a really dysfunctional chick, because it seems to bring the best out of him on almost every level."
