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.
[I have now made her repent her sins]
[she confessed to me she came to reason]
[she now knows the consequences of her deeds]
[I showed her the way and she struggled but followed]
[I feel grateful every time when the voices calls]
[and I gladly surrender When Darkness Falls]
Several hours past now
My hands still trembling
From that rush so divine
I need my medicine
Look at your eyes they seem so cold
As if there's nothing there
Wash your bloodstains of my shirt
Oh lord I've done it again
I've done it again
Enter moonlight
I come from demonseed
When darkness falls
Cursing your blasphemy
When darkness falls
No remorse what so ever
That is how sick I am
It all falls into oblivion
I have forgotten you
All alone and I'm craving for more
as the darkness falls in me
Only the shadows brings me comfort
There is no stopping me
There is no stopping me
Enter moonlight
I come from demonseed
When darkness falls
Cursing your blasphemy
When darkness falls
[solo.Englund]
No remorse what so ever
That is how sick I am
It all falls into oblivion
I have forgotten you
All alone and I'm craving for more
as the darkness falls in me
Only the shadows brings me comfort
There is no stopping me
There is no stopping me
[she confessed to me she came to reason]
[she now knows the consequences of her deeds]
[I showed her the way and she struggled but followed]
[I feel grateful every time when the voices calls]
[and I gladly surrender When Darkness Falls]
Several hours past now
My hands still trembling
From that rush so divine
I need my medicine
Look at your eyes they seem so cold
As if there's nothing there
Wash your bloodstains of my shirt
Oh lord I've done it again
I've done it again
Enter moonlight
I come from demonseed
When darkness falls
Cursing your blasphemy
When darkness falls
No remorse what so ever
That is how sick I am
It all falls into oblivion
I have forgotten you
All alone and I'm craving for more
as the darkness falls in me
Only the shadows brings me comfort
There is no stopping me
There is no stopping me
Enter moonlight
I come from demonseed
When darkness falls
Cursing your blasphemy
When darkness falls
[solo.Englund]
No remorse what so ever
That is how sick I am
It all falls into oblivion
I have forgotten you
All alone and I'm craving for more
as the darkness falls in me
Only the shadows brings me comfort
There is no stopping me
There is no stopping me

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”

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.
