I’ve left my rest so far away
This is how were repaid
-
Once a man now a forgotten friend
Was I truly meant to understand
=
(Pre-Chorus)
We will wait as time goes by
With no one left in sight
With no one left in sight
+
(Chorus)
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We’ll rewrite the maker
And let us down
-
You’d never know from underlying,
promising, indifference,
This is all your fault
-
Shame and remorse are what you stand for
Have you ever said,
Have you ever thought,
Maybe there is
More to life than
What your mother taught
=
(Pre-Chorus)
We will wait as time goes by
With no one left in sight
With no one left in sight
+
(Chorus)
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We’ll rewrite the maker
And let us down
-
You make walking away
Look so much easier
than movies do these days
Our bonds have broken
Now you’ve lost our trust
Just let me know when
You’ve had enough
=
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
+
(Chorus)
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We’ll rewrite the maker
And let us down
=
I’ve become callous
To the thought
Of you returning home
I’d rather be alone
Than hear your bullshit
One more fucking time
About how things will work out
And then be just fine

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
