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.
She feared the light she sacrified
Human soul for nocturnal sky
The blood of their life for art divine
Candles in fear when shadows arrives
In moonlighting darkness in beautiful sight
Enslaving the beast of the unholy might
I fade away into silence embrace
The eyes of pain bleeding for faith
Centuries of dusk and demons
Arrive!
When evil arrives from black velvet sky
When shadows increase, damnation arrives
When faces of hell turned into black
When screamings of pain crushed in the night
When voices of death calls for revenge
Welcome the beast in honour of hell
When innocent blood sacrificed in the night
Rapture the breath of beautiful time
Stained with blood on the altar of pain
She prised his name the beast of all crime
The wolves sing feeling the wrath
Nameless souls are trapping in the night
Beneath the spread of magical rites
Red roses die enslaving to flame
The wrath of the night infesting her mind
A dark moonless sky the malice embrace
Out of the dark smelling his breath
She raising the chalice up to the sky
When evil arrives from black velvet sky
When shadows increase, damnation arrives
When faces of hell turned into black
When screamings of pain crushed in the night
When voices of death calls for revenge
Welcome the beast in honour of hell
Unhallowed by the infernal might
The power of death is now arrives
"An angel stole my heart
And Death took her away"
Human soul for nocturnal sky
The blood of their life for art divine
Candles in fear when shadows arrives
In moonlighting darkness in beautiful sight
Enslaving the beast of the unholy might
I fade away into silence embrace
The eyes of pain bleeding for faith
Centuries of dusk and demons
Arrive!
When evil arrives from black velvet sky
When shadows increase, damnation arrives
When faces of hell turned into black
When screamings of pain crushed in the night
When voices of death calls for revenge
Welcome the beast in honour of hell
When innocent blood sacrificed in the night
Rapture the breath of beautiful time
Stained with blood on the altar of pain
She prised his name the beast of all crime
The wolves sing feeling the wrath
Nameless souls are trapping in the night
Beneath the spread of magical rites
Red roses die enslaving to flame
The wrath of the night infesting her mind
A dark moonless sky the malice embrace
Out of the dark smelling his breath
She raising the chalice up to the sky
When evil arrives from black velvet sky
When shadows increase, damnation arrives
When faces of hell turned into black
When screamings of pain crushed in the night
When voices of death calls for revenge
Welcome the beast in honour of hell
Unhallowed by the infernal might
The power of death is now arrives
"An angel stole my heart
And Death took her away"

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
