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.
Six more times sight in your eye
You think you're innocent, innocent
Pull back and assess the skinned sky
To see your innocence, innocence
use just once and destroy
Searching for answers, you never employ
Complete become your vision now
It's the same as I am
it's just true incest now
To save your sins again you're innocent
Reflect the hate in your eyes
Convex you're down, concave you're in again
use just once and destroy
Searching for answers, you never employ
Complete become your vision now
It's the same as I am
Must you see this storm cloud
hit reset, reset
Time and time again
Hit reset, reset
Time and time again
sweat drenched hands, is it blood fuck who cares
I cannot help the joy I'm feeling
Hurting you, you're beautiful when you cry
If you love...
you'd understand the way
Clever thoughts withstand
And sway against your pain
I can give a thing your way
To believe in, to believe in
Your heart
I'm sorry for this now but I have to hurt I have to kill you
You think you're innocent, innocent
Pull back and assess the skinned sky
To see your innocence, innocence
use just once and destroy
Searching for answers, you never employ
Complete become your vision now
It's the same as I am
it's just true incest now
To save your sins again you're innocent
Reflect the hate in your eyes
Convex you're down, concave you're in again
use just once and destroy
Searching for answers, you never employ
Complete become your vision now
It's the same as I am
Must you see this storm cloud
hit reset, reset
Time and time again
Hit reset, reset
Time and time again
sweat drenched hands, is it blood fuck who cares
I cannot help the joy I'm feeling
Hurting you, you're beautiful when you cry
If you love...
you'd understand the way
Clever thoughts withstand
And sway against your pain
I can give a thing your way
To believe in, to believe in
Your heart
I'm sorry for this now but I have to hurt I have to kill you

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
I love this song. Love the drums, lyrics, everything about it. Biffy Clyro rule. Maybe if they live near me i could stalk them :-). J/K. Its funny how Biffy Clyro fans are like a really small niche compared to other bands. I think we're they only ones who know them kinda. Anywayz, keep rockin'. Tanti Saluti! Ciao.x.
