Off to see the wizard.
It’s cold outside, frostbiting in this blizzard
Strong ports are steady, gotta use both of my hands,
Ingredients from the parlor makes me change all of my plans.
Light headed, heavy thought process,
Makes believers out to follow you, but you don’t know it yet.
Sounds better when taking mushrooms and smoking a bit of stash
But staying sober and listening close is when it sounds best.
Don’t ever drown, cope around, study hard, get in shape,
Bet in spoon, grow a garden in your yard.
Keep it all out of a rewrite a bizarre novel now.
Put a ring on the finger of mother earth and say your vows out loud.

I’ll be damned if I don’t say this.
Sleepless beds and awful more, I hold blue finches at your door,
You’re minding on the tree, no more room for careful, like you breathe.
Superstitions seek in gloom,
Is waking up and holding your hands out for any
Words speak me for, I’ll be damned.
I’ll be damned, I’ll be damned, I’ll…

Keith coat, lap coat, leather coat,
Be safe from your boat, very high, next to a sky line.
Control the anchors, everything ain’t what it seems so
But you can make it so by fate and if you dream smart.
The art of story-telling isn’t art at all,
It is to captivate the moment when you find you have the goal.
To throw your guts upon the wall and tell the truth about your fall
And now you plan to trouble back to where you came from it it all.
But how to speak, can you, even when you are disrupted,
Bald as others that accept the pun that’s made upon them.
Okay, we’re beating, grab the day out for the racing,
Living in solitary, unable to use what God gave him.

I’ll be damned if I don’t say this.
Sleepless beds and awful more, I hold blue finches at your door,
You’re minding on the tree, no more room for careful, like you breathe.
Superstitions seek in gloom,
Is waking up and holding your hands out for any
Words speak me for, I’ll be damned.
I’ll be damned, I’ll be damned, I’ll…

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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.
