Seen the real atrocities
Buried in the sand
Stockpiled safety for a few
We stand holding hands

I'm living in the Ice age
I'm living in the Ice age
Nothing will hold
Nothing will fit
Into the cold
It's not an eclipse
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age

Searching for another way
She can hide behind the door
Live in holes and disused shafts
Hopes for little more

I'm living in the Ice age
I'm living in the Ice age
Nothing will hold
Nothing will fit
Into the cold
No smile on your lips
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age

Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age

    knowing his history with his ex wife, its likely about the same things as love will tear us apart again,(something they love but is falling)

    if on the off chance its not about that, it could be about nuclear weapons, this was released in the height of the anti weapons movement

    the real atrocities Buried in the sand Stockpiled safety for a few

    Searching for another way See them hide behind the door We'll live in holes and disused shafts Hopes for little more

    the ice age could be reffering to the idea of nuclear winter as consequence

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
