Breaking Ground

Brandston

Forfeit the game or play to win
I made my bed and now i'm sleeping in
Woke up late to find you gone
Hope I wasn't wrong

I think you caught me thinking out loud
Would I be crazy if I burnt my own house down?
Then I could rebuild to my liking
Close cover before striking

Breaking ground for the new me
Breaking down every time I think about it
Breaking ground for the new me
Getting up from these past catastrophes

I'm always using words like "maybe" and "someday"
Maybe someday I'll learn that tomorrow's always a day away

I always knew it would feel like this
But I can't say I was ready for it
Out of state out of mind
At least I can pretend I'm fine

Could this cup of coffee really keep me company
For another winter alone

I'm always using words like "maybe" and "someday" and "sorry"
I'm sorry I couldn't say
You remind me of everything I ever wanted to be
Maybe we were meant to be

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

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.
