So is it goodbye?
Is it time to set you free?
Is it time to let it fly?
Is it time to let it bleed
We used to take turns
To cover up the pain
Deep below it burns
And the fellin' still remains
You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on through,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you
Yes we gave it a try
But maybe for too long
Out of every sorrow
Another day will dawn
You're gonna find someone new
I really hope you do
'Cause I love you
And the sun will come on through,
It's gonna shine for you
'Cause I adore you
And the road travels on
But I'm still near you
In my life, like a song
I will still hear you
Still
Sun will shine for you
'Cause I adore you...

    [IF YOU TRULY LOVE THIS SONG, READ "ALL" MY POST. I ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL NOT REGRET READING MY THEORY.]


    [Amazingly, this is one of the few songs I believe I clasped the meaning in which so many others might not of, but I've been listening to this song for over half a decade, and I've had quite a bit of time to contemplate what it means, so I will give you every little depict and detail of what I think it means; who knows, I may be wrong, but I feel much certainty on this one.]

    [Generally, I believe this is about two parents who are letting loose into the world, an unlearned child, or, at least, one who they are uncertain is ready to maintain their own independence in the solidarity from their parents.]

    [Regarding this manner of parlance, you have to "distinctively" know when the two parents are speaking towards the child, towards each other, and with each other. This is very important.]


    -So is it goodbye? -Is it time to set you free?

    The father, in his mind (not directly), conceptually asking the child, is it time to let you go, "is it time to set your free?"

    -Is it time to let it fly? -Is it time to let it bleed

    The mother asking the father, is it time to let it fly out on its own, and I'm sure all parents are familiar with the term, "is it time to let it bleed?"

    [Is it time to let it fly/bleed reminds me of the analogy of a baby bird. It needs its mother and father bird to become properly raised before it is ready to fly off in it's endeavors alone. This worries them defiantly, as the first trip off the nest is the most dangerous, such a risk, that at times it reflects through the mirror as even a life or death risk. Parents know this worry when they reminisce of the time it was so hard to, at first, let go of their children.]


    -We used to take turns -To cover up the pain -Deep below it burns -And the fellin' still remains

    This one, they speak alongside each other. This reminds me of the raising process of a child throughout an adolescent age. It also reminds me of the times my parents used to take turns, having those "personal conversations", yet it was so hard for them to do; foremost the times they used to discipline me the right way, and tell me every pertaining reason why it was necessary to do so afterwards (I do it because I love you was my favorite [when they had nothing other to say]). I asked them of these moments in my life. They still tell me it pained them; especially of the times they handled they could have handled the situations better. First an only time slapping me would be a good example. Which is something I shy from saying, but for the sake of my decipher, gladly. It's alright though, I was being a big bitch that day lol =).


    -You're gonna find someone new -I really hope you do -'Cause I love you

    When a child is let go, free to find a new home, they are in a way, alone, but not in an absolute manner. But, whether they be male or female... they can find someone new, someone new to share their problems and grow old with. Someone new to help carry on the growth where they had left off at the end of their adolescent days. This is what I see most loving parents wish and "hope" for their children. Seeing how, they can't live at hope forever.


    -And the sun will come on thru, -It's gonna shine for you -'Cause I adore you

    An absolute comfort. That even though it is a hard decision to make, it is one that one will make because they love them. "'Cause I adore you": is something of more that convinced me that this song was of -parent to child-, as "to adore" is more for this manner.

    All together, "Sun will shine because I adore you", I found much meaning in: I adore you would be my way of saying and reminding them, "the sun will shine for you (everything will be alright) because I adore you (I adored you to the limit that I would always protect you, as a result, I raised you in every right way necessary to, thus, be alright [the sun will shine for you])"

    [In the end, the couple sings this chorus together, reminding me of two lovers holding each other, while watching their child fade in the distance, happy, sad, worried, hopeful, and knowing they will always be there for him/her. But this tells me they are "together" when they speak these words.]


    -Yes we gave it a try -But maybe for too long -Out of every sorrow -Another day will dawn

    This verse, in the first two lines, they speak to each other. Trying their best to raise him/her, they suppose, maybe, they were a little overprotective, holding onto for too long. The last two lines afterwards, they conclude to reassure themselves, though there may be grief, time will always be there to heal our child.


    -And the road travels on -But I'm still near you -In my life, like a song -I will still hear you -Still

    Though his/her path moves forward, no distance will be too far enough to be there for them, and when they are in need of someone to hear them out, like a song, she will "still" be there to listen. Simplest way I could put that last verse.

    Well, this is what I believe it personified. Was not much of a significant amount of the relationship idea that I seen connect with the lyrics. This song caught my eye for song long, simply because, I never heard lyrics of this element. Truly a beautiful song. Sincerely excited to see if my post helps anyone.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
