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.
I am perfection my darling, sweeter than any valentine rose.
She said, “Early tomorrow I will call for you”
I said “No, my dear I won’t wake for you”
She said “I crave for you”
I said “I crave for you too when our hearts sink to the floor and I’m the only one who steals your eyes”.
Fighting for love on the catwalk and I’m her latest outfit.
She said, “Please kill me with your words”
I said “Please show some remorse”
Draw the blood spilling from my hands, there’s no time for love.
And give my life a horror rating, there’s no time for love.
For love.
He bares the kiss that will tear romance in two but I captured your beauty.
I won’t follow the fashion sex created.
Our lips will never bleed again.
I did this for you, my love.
She said, “Early tomorrow I will call for you”
I said “No, my dear I won’t wake for you”
She said “I crave for you”
I said “I crave for you too when our hearts sink to the floor and I’m the only one who steals your eyes”.
Fighting for love on the catwalk and I’m her latest outfit.
She said, “Please kill me with your words”
I said “Please show some remorse”
Draw the blood spilling from my hands, there’s no time for love.
And give my life a horror rating, there’s no time for love.
For love.
He bares the kiss that will tear romance in two but I captured your beauty.
I won’t follow the fashion sex created.
Our lips will never bleed again.
I did this for you, my love.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
