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 want you to brighten the days of my life
I want you and I all alone to be together at night
I can't stand it
The feeling when you're far away
I want to wrap you up in my little world
So you'll be here today
When we fly through the night
Can't you feel the rush of 1,000 dancers
come into your life
I'll be there to make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
I want you to put your trust in me
Say goodbye to all your heartaches as fast as you can
I need you to surrender to me all your body and soul
And the spirit we seek will enter us both and make us complete
When we fly through the night
And it feels like heaven's wings we're riding
You've got to hold on tight
If you feel like I do
Knowing nothing can go wrong between us
I'll be there to make it right, make it right
Know me, show me
All your love
You're here today
You know you're here always
You know I can't get enough
You know I can't get enough
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
I want you and I all alone to be together at night
I can't stand it
The feeling when you're far away
I want to wrap you up in my little world
So you'll be here today
When we fly through the night
Can't you feel the rush of 1,000 dancers
come into your life
I'll be there to make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
I want you to put your trust in me
Say goodbye to all your heartaches as fast as you can
I need you to surrender to me all your body and soul
And the spirit we seek will enter us both and make us complete
When we fly through the night
And it feels like heaven's wings we're riding
You've got to hold on tight
If you feel like I do
Knowing nothing can go wrong between us
I'll be there to make it right, make it right
Know me, show me
All your love
You're here today
You know you're here always
You know I can't get enough
You know I can't get enough
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right

Holiday

@[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.

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.
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.
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.
