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.
Not an eye was dry
In that second I called my defeat
All the friends have lied
But at least I'm not strapped to my seat
Hey go away
Don't want you to stay
Hey go away
I Believe in me
[chorus]
You slept when I was awake
It's me who rule the morning
Don't that just make you pissed
When you moved away
Moved away with a head full of shame
That's the way to play
At least when you're part of my game
In that second I called my defeat
All the friends have lied
But at least I'm not strapped to my seat
Hey go away
Don't want you to stay
Hey go away
I Believe in me
[chorus]
You slept when I was awake
It's me who rule the morning
Don't that just make you pissed
When you moved away
Moved away with a head full of shame
That's the way to play
At least when you're part of my game

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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
"you'll find that inner hate" isn't even in the song :P
