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.

Protect the world from devastation
See your face and blast off
At the speed of light
Colored hair gives me a seizure
Nose bleeding I'm a believer
Skirt short like Edward Elric
You're alright
Stitches tearing on my cape
Sweat loosening the tape
My buster sword's about to limit break
I saw you at the Masquerade
In the costume that you made
Girl you look so fine
Perfect Blue my mind
But there's one more day
Saw you at the Masquerade
Here's a rhyme for Play n Trade
Gonna go from zero
To Guitar Hero
This serenade
Tonight I'm gonna get...
We'll play DDR you'll stomp me
I've got Pocky will you glomp me?
I think I'm stalking you like
Solid Snake
Take a look these lyrics I wrote
In a book the front says "Death Note"
Join me on a hentai
Screening date
Stitches tearing on my cape
Sweat loosening the tape
Grow some Poke-balls don't hesitate
I saw you at the Masquerade
In the costume that you made
Girl you look so fine
Perfect Blue my mind
But there's one more day
Saw you at the Masquerade
Here's a rhyme for Play n Trade
Gonna go from zero
To Guitar Hero
This serenade
Oh no
It happened again
She walked away with her furry boyfriend
My Kingdom Heart is breaking
My Kingdom Heart is breaking
Oh no
It happened again
She walked away with her furry boyfriend
My Kingdom Heart is breaking
Masquerade
In the costume that you made
Girl you look so fine
Perfect Blue my mind

Masquerade (My Kingdom Heart is breaking)

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
Great references to Fullmetal Alchemist and Serial Experiments Lain.
"Take a look (at?) these lyrics I wrote" and detroitx passed it on to the rest of us. This band is one of a kind.
