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.
se expande la miseria por todo el planeta
y hay mucho careta que piensan que la meta
capitalista que todos podamos tener algun dia
la camioneta que cabeza mas concheta
tienen plena confianza en esta mierda
y se piensan que esa paz,
esa paz que te da el poder de explotar
esa paz que te da el poder de entregar
se expande en el planeta
todos sabemos que la meta es la plata
la merca las armas y la cometa
todos sabemos que te estan saqueando
al primer mundo estan emparchando
lo que realmente se expande por el mundo
es la muerte de este sistema inmundo
se expande en el planeta
la resistencia es el sistema y es un enema
salta la bronca y es un bochorno
quien no sabe que son todos chorros
y te enteraste hoy, quedar de capitan
te queda un puesto de laburo
seguro que esta aca por comer un dia mas
me puedo concentrar y no pensar
descansar el balero es el enema para el obrero
Estribillo
organizacion, internacional
revolucionaria contra el capital
contra los burocratas, contra la patronal
contra el fondo monetario internacional
estrofa 2
Azucar!!
todo aquel que piense que duhalde no es igual
tiene que entender que no es asi
que ese es otro hijo de puta, que hay matarlo
hay, no hay que pagar, ni a la banca internacional
ni los impuestos nacionales
y hay mucho careta que piensan que la meta
capitalista que todos podamos tener algun dia
la camioneta que cabeza mas concheta
tienen plena confianza en esta mierda
y se piensan que esa paz,
esa paz que te da el poder de explotar
esa paz que te da el poder de entregar
se expande en el planeta
todos sabemos que la meta es la plata
la merca las armas y la cometa
todos sabemos que te estan saqueando
al primer mundo estan emparchando
lo que realmente se expande por el mundo
es la muerte de este sistema inmundo
se expande en el planeta
la resistencia es el sistema y es un enema
salta la bronca y es un bochorno
quien no sabe que son todos chorros
y te enteraste hoy, quedar de capitan
te queda un puesto de laburo
seguro que esta aca por comer un dia mas
me puedo concentrar y no pensar
descansar el balero es el enema para el obrero
Estribillo

revolucionaria contra el capital
contra los burocratas, contra la patronal
contra el fondo monetario internacional

que ese es otro hijo de puta, que hay matarlo

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”

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.

“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.
