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.
Well I'm back in the class, falling out of your past
All the letters I wrote and you thought as a joke
And the phone never rings when you're cold and it stings
All the holidays sucked by myself cause I'm fucked
And I'm dying, dying, dying
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
And I'm back for some more, round 2 was a bore
And you drifted away cause you want it that way
And I'm picking up pieces
of hearts that completely are broken in two
So it must've been you
While you're lying in bed with somebody new
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
Cause you cannot convince me any more
You cannot control me like before
You cannot convince me any more
You cannot control me like before
So how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel
And it's 1:45 and I'm feeling alive
I've got it all and its your last call
There's somebody new and she's better than you
You've been replaced by a pretty face
So look who's crying now
We don't wanna be the enemies of what we used to be
We don't wanna be the enemies of what we used to be
So how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel
So how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel?
All the letters I wrote and you thought as a joke
And the phone never rings when you're cold and it stings
All the holidays sucked by myself cause I'm fucked
And I'm dying, dying, dying
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
And I'm back for some more, round 2 was a bore
And you drifted away cause you want it that way
And I'm picking up pieces
of hearts that completely are broken in two
So it must've been you
While you're lying in bed with somebody new
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
So how does it feel, how does it feel
Cause it's tearing me apart
Cause you cannot convince me any more
You cannot control me like before
You cannot convince me any more
You cannot control me like before
So how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel
And it's 1:45 and I'm feeling alive
I've got it all and its your last call
There's somebody new and she's better than you
You've been replaced by a pretty face
So look who's crying now
We don't wanna be the enemies of what we used to be
We don't wanna be the enemies of what we used to be
So how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel
So how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel?

“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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
this song is one of my favorites by Sugarcult, especially because it reminds me of someone in my family, 'cept the revenge part hasn't happened yet, but it will...or it could just work out finally. good song, i hope to see them at warped, Sugarcult rules!
