D'abord une pierre
Qui vole en éclats
Une drôle de poussière
Puis un fracas
Sortez de chez vous
Réveillez tous les gens
Qui ont rendez-vous
Depuis si longtemps

Un mur est tombé
Un homme se retourne
Est-ce qu'il a rêvé
Est-ce une page qu'on tourne?
Déjà la rumeur
Qui court de ville en ville
On s'embrasse, on pleure
Il reste immobile

Est-ce que c'est lui qui perd la tête, qui devient fou
Même si son cœur est à la fête ses yeux sont flous
Combien d'armures, combien de masques, combien de tombes
Combien de murs se cachent derrière un mur qui tombe?

Des larmes peuvent couler
Personne se retourne
L'histoire abandonne
Les pages qu'on détourne
De quelle liberté
Pourra-t-on bien parler
Lorsque les enfants
Viendront demander?

"Les murs qu'on a dans la tête
Sont plus hauts que vos "peut-être"
Pourquoi personne les arrête, jamais!
Bien sûr qu'on va les casser
Mais on n'effacera jamais
Les maux qu'ils auront laissés, bavés!"

J'avais oublié l'ironie de notre histoire
J'avais oublié qu'on a si peu de mémoire
Combien de larmes, combien de haines, combien de hontes
Combien de murs se cachent derrière un mur qui tombe?

Est-ce que c'est moi
Qui deviens fou?
Répondez-moi
Mes yeux sont flous
Au nom de qui fait-on le choix de l'innocence?
Au nom d'quelle liberté, de quelle transparence?

Combien de murs
Combien de murs
Combien de larmes, combien de masques, combien de hontes
Combien de murs se cachent derrière un mur qui tombe?

Combien de murs?
Combien de murs?
Combien de murs?

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
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.
