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.
Tell me a secret, I'll tell you mine.
Tell me about desires you hide inside
There is so much that we should have done
I was insecure but now I'm strong
Diving whatever it may take, I keep on trying
Diving into you.
Diving knowing it was you I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving into you
Oh diving, into the blue
We are rising
Celebrate the night
It was you who showed me
How to fly
Diving, whatever it may take, I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving, knowing it was you I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving, whatever it may take, I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving, knowing it was you I keep on trying
Diving into you
Tell me about desires you hide inside
There is so much that we should have done
I was insecure but now I'm strong
Diving whatever it may take, I keep on trying
Diving into you.
Diving knowing it was you I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving into you
Oh diving, into the blue
We are rising
Celebrate the night
It was you who showed me
How to fly
Diving, whatever it may take, I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving, knowing it was you I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving, whatever it may take, I keep on trying
Diving into you
Diving, knowing it was you I keep on trying
Diving into you

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
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.
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.
this song is amazing.
