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.
Well I got bones up inside my tongue
Short and sweet and bitter ones
I wish I had them down below
So I could taste where my loving goes
Well I'm a-fishin' with my balls
I dip my nuggets in a sauce
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt
Well I got bones up inside my tongue
Short and sweet and bitter ones
I wish I had them down below
So I could taste where my loving goes
Well I'm a-fishin' with my balls
I dip my nuggets in a sauce
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt
When my nugget love comes raining down
Gets my tastebuds swirling round and round
I can only hope you can taste me, too
Here's a tastebud, baby, just for you
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt
Short and sweet and bitter ones
I wish I had them down below
So I could taste where my loving goes
Well I'm a-fishin' with my balls
I dip my nuggets in a sauce
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt
Well I got bones up inside my tongue
Short and sweet and bitter ones
I wish I had them down below
So I could taste where my loving goes
Well I'm a-fishin' with my balls
I dip my nuggets in a sauce
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt
When my nugget love comes raining down
Gets my tastebuds swirling round and round
I can only hope you can taste me, too
Here's a tastebud, baby, just for you
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt
Tastebuds on my cock
Let me love you baby around the clock
Tastebuds on your cunt
So you can lick my booty from the front
Tastebuds on your shit
So you can taste a nugget on my prick
Tastebuds on my nuts
So I can taste up inside your butt

No Surprises

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.
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.
Best song of the decade. Absolutely beautiful.
Truly masterful lyricism...
haha, this song is pretty much hilarious
'Invisible Girl' is a such a good album.
i believe it's "well i got buds up inside my tongue; salty, sweet and bitter ones"
I feel this is a love song about a man wanting more out of his relationship. The line "Tastebuds on your cunt, so you can lick my booty from the front" represents the man's desire to confront this issue face to face... but then later, the line "Tastebuds on my nuts, so I can taste up inside your butt" shows the man reverting to his old ways of standing back and remaining silent on the issue. This is a rather sad story of fading love and the desire to hold on to what's left in a relationship that may have run it's course. A real beautiful song.
