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.
We all know, we all know by now,
that you're the only thing you talk about.
So forgive me for bragging out loud.
I tried to reason with myself.
Tell me what could I have done?
Maybe I should have asked you to stay
like I was gone, then just get up and hand it away.
Well babe, like they say about some things,
well I guess something never changed.
We all know, we all know by now
that you're the only thing you talk about.
We all know, we all know by now
that things won't work out, no.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing,
you've got nothing to say.
Some day I hope you see
the consequences of your actions.
I know that I can do so much more without you.
Well babe, like they say about some things,
well I guess something never changed.
We all know, we all know by now
that you're the only thing you talk about.
We all know, we all know by now
that things won't work out, no,
I never really had a doubt
that things would end up to be this way.
And I never meant to make them seem that way.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing.
I knew as soon as I'd left,
that you'd go and fuck someone else, you whore.
You've got nothing to say.
We all know, we all know by now
that you're the only thing you talk about.
We all know, we all know by now
that things won't work out, no,
I never really had a doubt
that things would end up to be this way.
And I never meant to make them seem that way.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing.
that you're the only thing you talk about.
So forgive me for bragging out loud.
I tried to reason with myself.
Tell me what could I have done?
Maybe I should have asked you to stay
like I was gone, then just get up and hand it away.
Well babe, like they say about some things,
well I guess something never changed.
We all know, we all know by now
that you're the only thing you talk about.
We all know, we all know by now
that things won't work out, no.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing,
you've got nothing to say.

the consequences of your actions.
I know that I can do so much more without you.
Well babe, like they say about some things,
well I guess something never changed.
We all know, we all know by now
that you're the only thing you talk about.
We all know, we all know by now
that things won't work out, no,
I never really had a doubt
that things would end up to be this way.
And I never meant to make them seem that way.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing.
I knew as soon as I'd left,
that you'd go and fuck someone else, you whore.
You've got nothing to say.
We all know, we all know by now
that you're the only thing you talk about.
We all know, we all know by now
that things won't work out, no,

And I never meant to make them seem that way.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing to say.
You've got nothing.

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.
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.
Some day I hope you see the consequences of erections.
The lyrics here are from "If You Think this Song is About You, it Probably is"
"Well babe, like they say about some things, well I guess something never changed."
All I have to say is BADASS!
Craig Owens you never cease to amazing me!
Catchy as fuck. love love love it. and craig owens is perpetually amazing.
It's basically a re-release of Chiodos' "Thermacare". The main difference being Craig's got rid of the majority of screams for cleaner vocals.
So far I've got to admit, I'm loving this band.
