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.
Hey, dude, it's true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Remembah! That metal is in your heart
Then you can start to be a fretter
Hey, dude, don't be fuckin' 'fraid
You were made to go be a shreader
The minute you let us under your skin
Then you'll begin to be a fretter
So crank your amp and deal the pain
Hey, dude, you're fuckin' insane!
The rivers run red with blood of poseurs
And don't you know that he's the fool
Who plays it cool
But needs for his beer to be much colder
Hey, dude, neva' turn it down!
You must pound her, I mean Kip Winger
New wave of British heavy metal is in your heart
And you can start with Diamond Headers
So let it out! Let it in!
Hey, dude, begin
Don't wait for the eye of the beholder
You'll never know when bells toll for you
Hey, dude, you'll do
Just sling that flying-V 'cross your shoulder
Hey, dude, it's true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Admit it! Beatallica's under your skin!
So now begin to be a shreader
Take a thrash song and make it better
Remembah! That metal is in your heart
Then you can start to be a fretter
Hey, dude, don't be fuckin' 'fraid
You were made to go be a shreader
The minute you let us under your skin
Then you'll begin to be a fretter
So crank your amp and deal the pain
Hey, dude, you're fuckin' insane!
The rivers run red with blood of poseurs
And don't you know that he's the fool
Who plays it cool
But needs for his beer to be much colder
Hey, dude, neva' turn it down!
You must pound her, I mean Kip Winger
New wave of British heavy metal is in your heart
And you can start with Diamond Headers
So let it out! Let it in!
Hey, dude, begin
Don't wait for the eye of the beholder
You'll never know when bells toll for you
Hey, dude, you'll do
Just sling that flying-V 'cross your shoulder
Hey, dude, it's true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Admit it! Beatallica's under your skin!
So now begin to be a shreader

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”

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
