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.
And finally the silence,
looking out
looking back across the sky,
Trying to find a meaning,
knowing that I just left it all behind
Still I smell a lingering softness
Where did she go,
how did she go,
I want to know
I want to know that she'll be coming
here to me
Come on,
without you
I'll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on, come on, come on
Thinking back before her,
I never knew the meaning of alone
Still the flag is feeling foreign,
I live the day to escape into a phone
Speaking of a world not real then
where did she go
how did she go,
I want to know
I want to know that she'll be coming
here to me
Come on,
without you
I'll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on
Cause each of the kisses and my heart...
She's coming,
She's coming here to me,
I'm needing,
desiring to kiss her now,
I'm living for her,
breathing for her,
singing for her fairytale.
Come on,
without you
I'll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on
looking out
looking back across the sky,
Trying to find a meaning,
knowing that I just left it all behind
Still I smell a lingering softness
Where did she go,
how did she go,
I want to know
I want to know that she'll be coming
here to me
Come on,
without you
I'll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on, come on, come on
Thinking back before her,
I never knew the meaning of alone
Still the flag is feeling foreign,
I live the day to escape into a phone
Speaking of a world not real then
where did she go
how did she go,
I want to know
I want to know that she'll be coming
here to me
Come on,
without you
I'll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on
Cause each of the kisses and my heart...
She's coming,
She's coming here to me,
I'm needing,
desiring to kiss her now,
I'm living for her,
breathing for her,
singing for her fairytale.
Come on,
without you
I'll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
I am thinking along the lines of a past relationship that he left and now he regrets it, trying to say almost come on give me another chance. thats my take on this song. Anyone else think Ben Jelen is really attractive?
uhm im not gay so no...but this song is amazing.
he loves a girl and the girl mustn't feel the same...pshhhh, typical. :p
i must admit, i like this song a lot. i'm a sucker for a pianoman.
i just read about him in this month's TeenVogue, and then saw him on MTV. hmm, pretty good stuff. COME OONNNNN! hahhaa.
my take is, he was in a relationship with a girl. then she went away. and now, hes wondering where he went wrong. like hey what happened? "where did she go? how did she go?"
and now... hes yearning for her, cos he thot this was IT. the real thing, he felt that they realling "belonged".
typical love song, but niceee. i likee~
i think he left someone hoping that it will cause her to go to him, seeing if she'll follow. i <3 benjelen.. he's cute but i think he's trying too hard to sound profound? trying to be alicia keys or something..
I've listened to this song again and again. It's just as beautiful each time.
its about isabelle. he loves her. things haven't worked out. he said something like this when he was on mtv playing this song. its a great song. but yeah ben jelen is freaking hott!
It's about his former girlfriend, Isabell. They had a long distance relationship for a while.
Some evidence of that is when Ben says, "Knowing that I just left it all behind." The very obvious piece of evidence is when he says, "I live the day to escape into a phone." I just want to make sure that everybody understands that neither of them dumped the other. They just couldnt go on spending a week together and then a month apart. She lives in London, England, and he moved to the U.S.A. P.S.: Please go buy Ben Jelen's album, Give It All Away, and help spread the word on this amazing new artist!
this song is beautiful. the first time i heard it i listened to it on repeat like 10 times. the chorus gets me everytime :)
