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.
mark lately I'm not who I used to be
someone's come and taken me
where I don't wanna go
if I knew exactly what I have to do
in order to be there for you
when you were feeling low
Ben, and all the things we ever wanted
were once yours and mine
now I know we can revive it
all the love we left
Paul, everytime I kiss I feel your lips
and everytime I cry I see your smile
and everytime I close my eyes
I realize that everytime I hold your hand in mine
the sweetest thing my heart could ever find
and I had never felt this way
since the day I gave your love away
Christian save me I've fallen from my destiny
you and I were meant to be
I've thrown it all away
now your're gone
it's time for me to carry on
but baby I just can't go on
without you by my side
repeat
Ben, we can survive it
all the pain we feel inside
you relied on me and now I've let you down
now I promise you forever
I will be the best I can
now I know we can revive it
all the love we left
Paul, everytime I kiss I feel your lips
and everytime I cry I see your smile
and everytime I close my eyes
I realise that everytime I hold your hand in mine
the sweetest thing my heart could ever find
and I had never felt this way
since I gave your love away
Paul, everytime I kiss
everytime I cry
and everytime I close my eyes I realise
that everytime I hold your hand in mine
the sweetest thing my heart could ever find
and I had never felt this way
since the day I gave your love away
someone's come and taken me
where I don't wanna go
if I knew exactly what I have to do
in order to be there for you
when you were feeling low
Ben, and all the things we ever wanted
were once yours and mine
now I know we can revive it
all the love we left
Paul, everytime I kiss I feel your lips
and everytime I cry I see your smile
and everytime I close my eyes
I realize that everytime I hold your hand in mine
the sweetest thing my heart could ever find
and I had never felt this way
since the day I gave your love away
Christian save me I've fallen from my destiny
you and I were meant to be
I've thrown it all away
now your're gone
it's time for me to carry on
but baby I just can't go on
without you by my side
repeat
Ben, we can survive it
all the pain we feel inside
you relied on me and now I've let you down
now I promise you forever
I will be the best I can
now I know we can revive it
all the love we left
Paul, everytime I kiss I feel your lips
and everytime I cry I see your smile
and everytime I close my eyes
I realise that everytime I hold your hand in mine
the sweetest thing my heart could ever find
and I had never felt this way
since I gave your love away
Paul, everytime I kiss
everytime I cry
and everytime I close my eyes I realise
that everytime I hold your hand in mine
the sweetest thing my heart could ever find
and I had never felt this way
since the day I gave your love away

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
