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.
Bigfoot step over me
Spare me from embarassing defeat
Numb to the thought existing
I'd be estatic
Would the find complete the puzzle for me
I could be fiction from the entry
The entry
What do you think you know
I know its ok now
Lay down more stupid rules
That only I apply to
I'm made for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know
If I call it how I see it
I may never call it
Your teeth they talk and talk
And I never follow
If you repeat what you here
You wont be repeating, be repeating, be repeating
Anything to anyone
I'm mad for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know
Amelia I may never meet you
Maybe the ocean's where you rest
Bermuda I may never see you
Just because no one's coming back
Along came a spider
That crawled inside her
Now I think I'm sick for christian's sake
But frozen with fear of god the earthquake
And now you know
I'm mad for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know
Spare me from embarassing defeat
Numb to the thought existing
I'd be estatic
Would the find complete the puzzle for me
I could be fiction from the entry
The entry
What do you think you know
I know its ok now
Lay down more stupid rules
That only I apply to
I'm made for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know
If I call it how I see it
I may never call it
Your teeth they talk and talk
And I never follow
If you repeat what you here
You wont be repeating, be repeating, be repeating
Anything to anyone
I'm mad for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know
Amelia I may never meet you
Maybe the ocean's where you rest
Bermuda I may never see you
Just because no one's coming back
Along came a spider
That crawled inside her
Now I think I'm sick for christian's sake
But frozen with fear of god the earthquake
And now you know
I'm mad for medusa
But hung up on how it feels to be a ceramic
And now you know

Magical

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.
What does this even mean? Iosephus, that's as far as I get, too... the ceramic thing does make sense a little w/ the whole Medusa idea. But yeah...the whole decoding thing...I'll leave it to someone else on this song because reading those lyrics out just confuses me.
