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.
In the silence of the darkness
Close your eyes and you think
That the magic died long ago
And all grayness was grown
You will see it there
Dancing in the light
Trying to arrive to your soul
Flying with mighty wings
You have to have faith
Then mountains you'll move
You'll know that it's true
When you will look and see
[chorus]
In the sky
The dragon is into the fire
He's taking the night
In the sky
When your mind is far
Ride your white star
You'll arrive to the light
In the sky
The way will be hard and long
But you have to be strong
The beast lurks in the shadows
Waiting to drain your your life
It knocks on your door
Waiting for response
Take its mighty hand
You have not to fear
The magic has to live
Spurting from your soul
You'll know that it's true
When you will look and see
[chorus]
Close your eyes and you think
That the magic died long ago
And all grayness was grown
You will see it there
Dancing in the light
Trying to arrive to your soul
Flying with mighty wings
You have to have faith
Then mountains you'll move
You'll know that it's true
When you will look and see
[chorus]
In the sky
The dragon is into the fire
He's taking the night
In the sky
When your mind is far
Ride your white star
You'll arrive to the light
In the sky
The way will be hard and long
But you have to be strong
The beast lurks in the shadows
Waiting to drain your your life
It knocks on your door
Waiting for response
Take its mighty hand
You have not to fear
The magic has to live
Spurting from your soul
You'll know that it's true
When you will look and see
[chorus]

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”

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.
