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.
Here we all feel alive
Here we use our minds
Let us form together
Use our minds
Recreate, redesign
Here forever
With a new world in our hands
We will gain control
With a new world in our hands
We will gain control
Realize that you will never
Feel this way again
Everything you wanted
Was right in front of your eyes
This is the life
So take it in and embrace
No more waste in faith 'cause we are home
No more waste in faith 'cause we are home
Don't let it be easy
You need a sense of direction
To visualize perfection
We are home we are free
his is serenity
Stop holding on for nothing
I'm ready to face this world and gain control
With a new world in our hands
With a new world in our hands
With a new world in our hands
Gain control
No more waste in faith 'cause we are home
We are at ease in the way we've grown
In the moment when time the timing's right
We can start to feel the stars align
Don't let it be easy
Visualize perfection
Stop holding on for nothing
Visualize perfection
Here we use our minds
Let us form together
Use our minds
Recreate, redesign
Here forever
With a new world in our hands
We will gain control
With a new world in our hands
We will gain control
Realize that you will never
Feel this way again
Everything you wanted
Was right in front of your eyes
This is the life
So take it in and embrace
No more waste in faith 'cause we are home
No more waste in faith 'cause we are home
Don't let it be easy
You need a sense of direction
To visualize perfection
We are home we are free
his is serenity
Stop holding on for nothing
I'm ready to face this world and gain control
With a new world in our hands
With a new world in our hands
With a new world in our hands
Gain control
No more waste in faith 'cause we are home
We are at ease in the way we've grown
In the moment when time the timing's right
We can start to feel the stars align
Don't let it be easy
Visualize perfection
Stop holding on for nothing
Visualize perfection

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
I have done a bit of research into many different 2012 theories and the lyrics in this song tie into it. For example,
"Let us form together. Use our minds, recreate, redesign. Visualize it."
-In the 2012 theory of us graduating into the 5th density, shortly before and post-graduation we are able to use our minds to create the new world merely with thought and intention. Right now in this 3rd density reality thoughts can create the physical but not immediately.
"With a new world in our hands, we will gain control."
"Stop holding on for nothing. I'm ready to face this world and gain control."
"And only when the timing's right, we can start to feel the stars align." -Possibly talking about the theory of the Galactic alignment happening in our galaxy, changing the frequency of this reality.
Good theories. I know that when they were writing this album, BoO was reading a lot of literature that had to do with a higher state of being type stuff. They probably have some sorts of tie ins to that stuff, especially looking at the cover with the giant being that has the earth in his hand.
Looking at it from a human point of view though also has similar concepts. Not as drastic as that, but essentially making your life the way you want it to be, and remodeling your life they way you think it should be. You're in control of your own life so take control and recreate.
Two ways to look at it I think.
The song was originally titled "Wheaton" ... give any more clues to the meaning of the song?
Also, it's "we are home". Not "we are wrong". "We are wrong" doesn't even make sense if you try to interperet it into the song. Correction please?
No it's "We are wrong". The sense they use it in, and the way that I interpret the song, is that "No more wasted faith, cause we are wrong" means that he understands the error or his ways and actions and knows it's wrong.<br /> <br /> Saying "No more wasted faith, cause we are HOME" makes no sense.
i have the lyrics from the cd you are right about "we are home" but the lyric actually goes "no more waste in faith, Cause we are home"
