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.
And this room of darkness I ain't undercover
That won't stop my prowess rubbing off on to another
Elevating higher as my body's moving lower
Now I've reached my element you better move over oh
But he doesn't, he blocks my way
I try to push past but he wants to play
So I sip his drink as I hold his gaze
Ooh
When we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear will end too soon)
My limbs seem to move what the beat dictates to me
I push in to the middle the sound becomes a part of me
Taking me back to that sweet familiarity
Making my adrenalin rise I feel the eyes on me
Sip the bottle now don't be slow
Keep up with me as we lose control
Keep up with me as we lose control
Oh, when we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
(This right here I swear will end too soon)
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear will end too soon)
Oh, when we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
That won't stop my prowess rubbing off on to another
Elevating higher as my body's moving lower
Now I've reached my element you better move over oh
But he doesn't, he blocks my way
I try to push past but he wants to play
So I sip his drink as I hold his gaze
Ooh
When we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear will end too soon)
My limbs seem to move what the beat dictates to me
I push in to the middle the sound becomes a part of me
Taking me back to that sweet familiarity
Making my adrenalin rise I feel the eyes on me
Sip the bottle now don't be slow
Keep up with me as we lose control
Keep up with me as we lose control
Oh, when we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
(This right here I swear will end too soon)
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear)
(This right here I swear will end too soon)
Oh, when we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
LUV LUV LUV this song :D
Hehe cant spell :)
