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.
Do ya do ya do ya think of speaking your mind?
Or as openly as lonely as it is cold?
And do ya do ya do ya wanna get heavy weight?
Or is it better off in the balance anyway?
Later on, oh, yeah whatever
Assume now, now became never ends
Well, how you do, it's up to you
But now you've got to see it through
Tell a man if you've had a change of heart
Do you make light of a bad situation?
By burying your head under the sand
And eat the apple of your eye
Just because your mouth was dry, oh
It doesn't really matter much to me
But honesty's a dyin' art
So tell a man if you've had a change of heart
Put against the wall and you'll play along
Give someone an answer and they'll think you're wrong
But now you find yourself
Somewhere you have never been before
Oh
You gave it time but to no avail
But now it's gon' be on the pail
Tell a man if you've had a change of heart
Oh, you can bite the bullet
Or just do it in a minute
For the love of God if you've had a change of heart
Or as openly as lonely as it is cold?
And do ya do ya do ya wanna get heavy weight?
Or is it better off in the balance anyway?
Later on, oh, yeah whatever
Assume now, now became never ends
Well, how you do, it's up to you
But now you've got to see it through
Tell a man if you've had a change of heart
Do you make light of a bad situation?
By burying your head under the sand
And eat the apple of your eye
Just because your mouth was dry, oh
It doesn't really matter much to me
But honesty's a dyin' art
So tell a man if you've had a change of heart
Put against the wall and you'll play along
Give someone an answer and they'll think you're wrong
But now you find yourself
Somewhere you have never been before
Oh
You gave it time but to no avail
But now it's gon' be on the pail
Tell a man if you've had a change of heart
Oh, you can bite the bullet
Or just do it in a minute
For the love of God if you've had a change of heart

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page

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.
