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.
There's a rebellion on ice and you'll pay the price
As your freedom fades away
Dishonesty is high, so won't you even try
To stand up for your rights and say
We don't want your laws so take 'em back right now
They're bullshit anyhow
It's time we had our say the injustice cannot stay
They stabbed us in the back
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now
So let us hear your voice they said we have a choice
But I don't believe they really meant it so
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough
Take the power back the foundation's gonna crack
I see the freedom at the end of the road
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows
Give it to me take it from me nobody knows
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode
Total destruction all over the place
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace
Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies
But they aren't even looking at the wolves in disguise
So will you hear the call or let the judgments fall
This is it so wake up let's go
And track the liars down and then remove their crowns
And lash 'em with the binds they hold
We don't want your laws so take 'em back right now
They're bullshit anyhow
It's time we had our say the injustice cannot stay
They stabbed us in the back
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now
So let us hear your voice they said we have a choice
But I don't believe they really meant it so
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough
Take the power back the foundation's gonna crack
I see the freedom at the end of the road
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows
Give it to me take it from me nobody knows
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode
Total destruction all over the place
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace
Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies
But they aren't even looking at the wolves in disguise
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now
So let us hear your voice they said we have a choice
But I don't believe they really meant it so
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough
Take the power back the foundation's gonna crack
I see the freedom at the end of the road
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows
Give it to me take it from me nobody knows
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode
Total destruction all over the place
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace
Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies
But they aren't even looking at the wolves in disguise
So let's hear your voice or we wont have a choice
Haven't we had enough today?
Rebellion's on ice but we'll pay the price
Don't let our freedoms fade away
As your freedom fades away
Dishonesty is high, so won't you even try
To stand up for your rights and say
We don't want your laws so take 'em back right now
They're bullshit anyhow
It's time we had our say the injustice cannot stay
They stabbed us in the back
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now
So let us hear your voice they said we have a choice
But I don't believe they really meant it so
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough
Take the power back the foundation's gonna crack
I see the freedom at the end of the road
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows
Give it to me take it from me nobody knows
Sick of being used and I'm gonna explode

Don't let our freedoms fade away

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
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.
Think Military grade torches.. among so much worse.
Alive.
And My Brother waking up each morning smiling bright saying "what are we going to do today?"
He's living for this. I can ASSURE you he's seen your plan and has added his own wicked dimension of pain and evil. Little by little.
I love MY BROTHER so much! Keep on shit talking because he's taking notes on every fn word you've said. Threatening me was so much worse than my kiss of death for you. He is worse than any self proclaimed pu$$y devil. And HE DOESN'T HIDE. HE'S GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU REALIZE WHO'S RUNNING THE SHOW. He also does NOT have a conscience and can't wait to try out a myriad of high grade blow torches, along with so much worse. Did you know they make blow torch guns?? I thought that was kinda neat!!!! Nothing an average person can access. Keep on running your mouth. It's only fueling your fire. We love it!!
You can't ever get that smell of your clothes.. so ain't taking that chance.
We all have cute designer chainsaw protection attire, though!! Thank you Lord and Taylor!!
P.S. you're on camera killing Mamaw. POS. That's why Worm will ate into your brain. If you think for a second, that wasn't recorded, think again. She's so happy to know you're going to burn for eternity. I can now speak for all the rest of the family, as well. They want nothing less for you.
How does this song have no comments I know this song is´nt sung by Jim Lindberg but it is still probably my favorite Pennywise song.
Wizard keeps hiding behind new names, typically. If you'll notice, I have not changed mine. And the simple fact they haven't been intercepted w/ all the things I've said should bring awareness to you. jpu$$yg
He said to tell you we are looking forward to seeing all the octaves in your voice box. I had a fleeting thought of removing it, but that would take away all the fun. There wasn't a chance he'd let that happen anyways. Don't worry thought.. you're going to have an EMT standing by, just to keep reviving you. That's ALL, though. I personally don't care for the smell of burning flesh, so I'm probably going to wear a mask. Don't shame me.
They're so hard to find these days. Mine is made by Chanel. With diamonds and a tiara, accordingly. Blood spatter resistant too! Handmade, albeit.
You're going to need those little pink shark panties.
I let you have them because they were way too little for anyone else.
