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.
Emotionless grey skies bleed somber dreams of sorrow. Blackened unseen heart tears a virgins godlike innocence from its pristine palace. Paint sarcastic smiles upon new wounds. Tears of misery stain scar filled minds. Hatred new like tomorrow flows from bitter memories. Purity now embraced by sinful ideals why. Lifeless tomb rests weary with prowling peering eyes. Silence falls upon deaf ears covered by night. Alone in thought, shaking. Biting tongues of lead at unfit moments. Screaming disbelief with no faith in site. [and her disgust has no borders, no limits to strive for, she bends and breaks to the rules set by the weak] She's finally seen she's a beautiful girl with a smile so grand she could stop the world. Stolen her skin he sews her mouth shut, means nothing to him, her screams just die out. As she cries out here voice dies out. As she cries out her voice dies out. Love once inside her heart, lay in my hands. Was it asked for? Was it implied? What could have been done? Inside her mind dies.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Plastic Bag

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.
where does the sample at the beginning of this song come from?
hehe. this is ben, the singer of fata's favorite song. just a little inside from a friend. :)
This song is about their friend got raped.
"Take her to the music store" is a phrase they use in connotation with "Getting fucked against one's will." Because Scott once took a guitar to the music store and got fucked over with charges for labor.
i abso-freaking-lutely love this song... from autumn to ashes is one of the best bands to ever have been, and i'm really looking forward to seeing them soon.... oh yeah, and the meaning is of course the emo, tragic statement of how harsh love can be, hehe... but we love emo kids, they're so cute.... and fata is emocore, so that kicks ass.... check these guys out if you haven't already, you will not be disappointed..... Love?... Wuzzy
FATA is metalcore with acoustic breakdowns...emo is dead, but making fun of "emo" kids is fun. Oh wait, I DRESS the emo style...damn me straight to hell.
Emo will never die. And emocore is even better.
emo!!!!!!
The sample at the beginning is from Dawsons Creek unfortunately! Katie Holmes says it at the end of episode # 4 2 0 - P r o m i c i d e. The link below is a web page that has the script from that episode and the quote can be found by scrolling to the very bottom of the page. Oh and just to clear things up I'm not a dawsons creek fan but a huge FATA fan and i was going crazy trying to figure it out...and i finally succeeded! I saw Fata play sorta and met them afterwards and lemme tell u they are certainly deserving of every fan they have! Spread the good word and keep on rocking everyone! digilander.iol.it/alescreek/04-20.html Oh and p.s> You break my heart into a thousand pieces, and you say it's because I deserve better?
Emo Is Awesome...But Emocore Is Awesome Too.
And Emo Will Never Die, Because Emotions Will Never Die!
wow, this song is truly amazing!!
