“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.
You are insatiable
Look how the smile peels off your skull
Everyone knows you need a piece of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
Hard rock queens in ripped up jeans
Everyone thinks they're so obscene
Bend them over, you get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
Evil boy, still the best
Peanut butter smeared on his chest
Get real close you'll get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
We are all candy covered on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're rotten on the inside
We are all angry, angry on the outside
Peel out your eyes, take my advice
Blinded by fear, sugar and spice
We are all candy covered on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're frightened on the inside
We are all angry, angry on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're rotten on the inside
You are insatiable
Look how the smile peels off your skull
Everyone knows they need a piece of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
Evil boy, still the best
Peanut butter smeared on his chest
Get real close you'll get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
Look how the smile peels off your skull
Everyone knows you need a piece of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
Hard rock queens in ripped up jeans
Everyone thinks they're so obscene
Bend them over, you get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
Evil boy, still the best
Peanut butter smeared on his chest
Get real close you'll get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
We are all candy covered on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're rotten on the inside
We are all angry, angry on the outside
Peel out your eyes, take my advice
Blinded by fear, sugar and spice
We are all candy covered on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're frightened on the inside
We are all angry, angry on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're rotten on the inside
You are insatiable
Look how the smile peels off your skull
Everyone knows they need a piece of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot
Evil boy, still the best
Peanut butter smeared on his chest
Get real close you'll get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio

While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
Lollirot = Your inner nastiness, you try to cover up. peel away the shell and were rotten on the inside.
I think Lollirot is a metaphore for childhood lost, stealing candy from a baby, infantilism ruined...
My version also says 'Evil boys are still the best, penut butter smeared on their chest..." Oo; Anyone know where I can get the other one?
My version said that, too... and my friend burned it for me, too. That's kinda odd, but hey shrugs...it's still a good song.
i've never heard the version they have up here.. the version from the cd sexless demons & scars (and also the old demo cockroach waltz) has the line "evil boys are still be the best peanut butter smeared on his chest" but the lyrics on here are from the demo cd children 5 and up
hah forget what i said about never hearing it.. i found an mp3 of it. yay & stuff...
Thanks for clearing it up Heartache!
Umm....i think lollirot means it stinks....why would peanut butter on a guys chest smell good??? why do i want to bend over a hard rock queen?!?!?!
this always makes me think of the kids u see at a concert, thats what i always imagine. everyone looks at em like theres sumfin wrong with em, but theyre just kids, and theyre so yummy!! (i can say that cuz im a kid meself :D ) and then the 'we are all..' lines are about a unity, where we all look fine etc on the outside but underneath we're all really fucked and have had enuff
Meh, my song version has different lyrics then up there as well. Typo on the lyrics, perhaps?
Good song, though not one of my favourites by Jack Off Jill
