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.
Trying to tear me apart
Breaking me down to the bone
So listen closely, 'cause what you don't see
Is there's still blood inside this bleeding heart.
Still beating, still breathing
Falling from grace, you laugh in my face
But you are the one who will leave with the beating
With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down
Stand up and scream while the rest of the won't make a sound
Rising again from the fire
A Phoenix alive and inspired
You can't erase me, won't phase me
No one hears a fucking word you say
Still beating, still breathing
Falling from grace, you laugh in my face
But you are the one who will leave with the beating
With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down
Stand up and scream while the rest of the won't make a sound
With bleeding hands I fight with the pride left in me now
Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound
Stand and scream
Stand and scream
Stand and scream
Stand and scream
With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down
Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound
With bleeding hands I fight with the pride left in me now
Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound
With bleeding hands (stand and scream)
These bleeding hands (stand and scream)
We stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound
Breaking me down to the bone
So listen closely, 'cause what you don't see
Is there's still blood inside this bleeding heart.
Still beating, still breathing
Falling from grace, you laugh in my face
But you are the one who will leave with the beating
With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down
Stand up and scream while the rest of the won't make a sound
Rising again from the fire
A Phoenix alive and inspired
You can't erase me, won't phase me
No one hears a fucking word you say
Still beating, still breathing
Falling from grace, you laugh in my face
But you are the one who will leave with the beating
With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down
Stand up and scream while the rest of the won't make a sound
With bleeding hands I fight with the pride left in me now
Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound
Stand and scream
Stand and scream
Stand and scream
Stand and scream
With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down
Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound
With bleeding hands I fight with the pride left in me now
Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound
With bleeding hands (stand and scream)
These bleeding hands (stand and scream)
We stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound

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.

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.
This song is about bullying and how you can overcome it like the protagonist in the song
