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.
I hear them calling,
the damned are calling
From this hell on earth
Their voices flooding my ears
I hear them calling
Their voices flooding my ears
From this hell on earth
I sit back watching above
sacrifice would mean relief from these times
We all hold the power to trust and have faith in ourselves
We all hold the power to trust and have faith in ourselves
We all hold the power to trust and have faith in ourselves
But just like a coward we flee from our hearts
Now is the time to believe in yourself
Have no fear how others think of you or will judge you
For your greatness will silence them all
Unbreakable
Unbreakable
Now is the time to believe
Now is the time to believe in yourself
Now is the time together
Now is the time to believe (unbreakable)
Now is the time together
Now is the time to believe (immortal)
I sit back watching above,
sacrifice would mean relief
the damned are calling
From this hell on earth
Their voices flooding my ears
I hear them calling
Their voices flooding my ears
From this hell on earth
I sit back watching above
sacrifice would mean relief from these times
We all hold the power to trust and have faith in ourselves
We all hold the power to trust and have faith in ourselves
We all hold the power to trust and have faith in ourselves
But just like a coward we flee from our hearts
Now is the time to believe in yourself
Have no fear how others think of you or will judge you
For your greatness will silence them all
Unbreakable
Unbreakable
Now is the time to believe
Now is the time to believe in yourself
Now is the time together
Now is the time to believe (unbreakable)
Now is the time together
Now is the time to believe (immortal)
I sit back watching above,
sacrifice would mean relief

@[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.
Amazing

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.

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.
A Scientologist (or whatever the hell BornOfMaya is talking about) telling a Christian that their beliefs are silly is like a...wait, no analogy is necessary. Wow.
