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.
Dirty pop
(Yo, BT)
Sick and tired of hearin' all these people talk about
"What's the deal with this pop life
And when is it gonna fade out?"
The thing you got to realize, what we're doin' is not a trend
We got the gift of melody
We're gonna bring it 'til the end, come on, now
It doesn't matter
'Bout the car I drive, what I wear around my neck
All that matters
Is that you recognize that it's just about respect
It doesn't matter
'Bout the clothes I wear, and where I go, and why
All that matters
Is that you get hyped and we'll do it to you every time
Come on, now
Do you ever wonder why
This music gets you high?
It takes you on a ride
Feel it when your body starts to rock
(When your body starts to rock)
Baby, you can't stop (you can't stop)
And the music's all you got (come on, now)
(This must be)
Pop
Dirty pop
B-baby, baby, you can't stop
I know you like this dirty pop
(This must be)
Now, why you wanna try to classify
The type of thing that we do?
'Cause we're just fine doin' what we like
Can we say the same for you?
Tired of feelin' all around me animosity
Just worry about yours 'cause I'ma get mine
Now, people, can't you see?
It doesn't matter
'Bout the car I drive or the ice around my neck
All that matters
Is that you recognize that it's just about respect, oh
It doesn't matter
'Bout the clothes I wear, and where I go, and why
All that matters
Is that you get hyped and we'll do it to you every time
Come on
Do you ever wonder why (why)
This music gets you high? (Gets you high)
It takes you on a ride
Feel it when your (feel it when your) body starts to rock
(When your body starts to rock)
Baby, you can't stop (you can't stop)
And the music's all you got (baby, c'mon)
(This must be)
Ooh
Man, I'm tired of singin'
Dirty, dirty, dirty pop
Dirty pop
Do you ever wonder, wonder, wonder, won-?
(BT)
(Oh) do you ever wonder why?
(Ever wonder why?)
This music gets you high? (Gets you high)
It takes you on a ride
Feel it when your (feel it when your) body starts to rock
(When your body starts to rock)
Baby, you can't stop (baby, don't stop)
And the music's all you got (C'mon, now)
(This must be)
Do you ever wonder why (do you ever wonder)
This music gets you high? (How it gets you so high, baby?)
It takes you on a ride
Feel it when your (feel it when your) body starts to rock
(When your body starts to rock)
Baby, you can't stop
And the music's all you got
This must be (oh, oh, oh)
Do you ever wonder why (ever wonder why?)
This music gets you high? (Music gets you high)
It takes you on a ride
Feel it when your (when your) body starts to rock
(When your body starts to rock)
Baby, you can't stop (you can't stop)

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”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
My cousin used to be obsessed with these faggots. I don't see how the fuck she could've been taken in by this shit. At least she got out of the faggot music a couple years back.
So as to stay on topic of the song, it sucks my fucking cock.
