Brother Of Mine

Virgos

As I wake I see the signs that the world's forever changed
If hell on earth could be imagined, it became truth today
Amidst the flames I watched the brave
Sacrificed so lives could be saved
And tears filled my eyes as I watched the world become a grave

I know why you had to go inside
I looked and saw the world change before my eyes
I lift my voice to you
For all you had to do
You're a brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

As the dust settles the ashes fall before the dawn
Our nation watches as the leaders fulfill the reasons they were born
Amidst the pain and anger
A light beacons through all the clouds
A light that shines on the rugged flag and yes
We're united proud and strong

I know that I'll never understand the loss of life
I know I saw the world change before my eyes
I lift my voice to you
A new hope being true
You're a brother of mine
I know my God is true
He will deliver you
You're a brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

We stand on hollowed ground
Where all my brothers lost and found
We're all about the colors of the country you can't kill
The colors of the country you can't kill
We're all about the colors of the country you can't kill

Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine
Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

I lift my voice to you
For all that we've been through
You're a brother of mine
I know my God is true
He will deliver you
You're a brother of mine
A Brother of mine
Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
