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.
Hell's rolling with you
Riding on your back
Harvest of terror
We all shall fade to black
Fields of depression
The wounds that never mend
The final solution
Bring it to an end
To an end
To an end
Inside this world of pain
Your beliefs of suicide
Denial and repression
Psychopathic pride
Iron determination
A will that cannot bend
A final solution
Bring it to an end
To an end
To an end
Suffering and sorrow
The casualties of war
Spirit has broke me
Broke forevermore
Pure assination
The machine, it rolls again
Final solution
Bring it to an end
To an end
To an end
Riding on your back
Harvest of terror
We all shall fade to black
Fields of depression
The wounds that never mend
The final solution
Bring it to an end
To an end
To an end
Inside this world of pain
Your beliefs of suicide
Denial and repression
Psychopathic pride
Iron determination
A will that cannot bend
A final solution
Bring it to an end
To an end
To an end
Suffering and sorrow
The casualties of war
Spirit has broke me
Broke forevermore
Pure assination
The machine, it rolls again
Final solution
Bring it to an end
To an end
To an end

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
It kinda sounds like he's speaking to someone. Telling them to end the world?
Or maybe it's telling someone who's depressed to kill themselves... lol
Is it about war? I mean he says the casualties of war. the machine it rolls again. The tank? I think he's saying to end the war. That our final solution is always marked around death.
*Our country, I think it's got some political beliefs in it especially when he sings your psychopathic pride and pure assination.
song is about Hitler's death camps. Final solution was hitler plan of death to the jews
