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.
Never thought I'd say I'm sorry
Never thought I'd be the one to bring you down
Now when I look out my window
Mmm there doesn't seem to be anyone around
And I
I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed (Oh noticed)
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day
You said we'd take a little turn
For both of us to see
I wonder what it'd be like to kill your own
Mmm yeah now I got crazy
Well I guess that's just me
If I could turn back time before the wrong
And I, I
I think I'll change my ways, I
So all your words get noticed (Oh noticed)
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day
Mmm
Mmm yeah
Oh
Yeah
And I, I
I think I'll change my ways, I
So all your words get noticed (Oh noticed)
I, think I'll change my ways
I think I'll change my ways, I
Oh
I think I'll change my ways
Never though I'd say I'm sorry
Never thought I'd be the one
Never thought I'd be the one to bring you down
Now when I look out my window
Mmm there doesn't seem to be anyone around
And I
I think I'll change my ways
So all your words get noticed (Oh noticed)
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day
You said we'd take a little turn
For both of us to see
I wonder what it'd be like to kill your own
Mmm yeah now I got crazy
Well I guess that's just me
If I could turn back time before the wrong
And I, I
I think I'll change my ways, I
So all your words get noticed (Oh noticed)
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Tomorrow's a new day
Mmm
Mmm yeah
Oh
Yeah
And I, I
I think I'll change my ways, I
So all your words get noticed (Oh noticed)
I, think I'll change my ways
I think I'll change my ways, I
Oh
I think I'll change my ways
Never though I'd say I'm sorry
Never thought I'd be the one

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think this song is not so much about regretting someone's own past, but realizing that not all people can be happy being who they are. The writer is one of these people and in order to be happy with one specific person, he/she has to become someone else. Or atleast that is how it applies to me. I have been abandonned and hurt so many times by people I care about, I figured it had to be me, I figured that I had to be the problem. I turned myself into an entirely different person and people still didn't like me. To me, this song is about desperation for that one person to give a damn about you.
