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 can't cry, I can't understand
Can't give in or give up my plan
And we were swimming in the water with no hands
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
You're the light on the darkest me
Don't back out 'cause you cannot see
And though our instincts say that we should turn and run
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
And when the world is crashing down, oh
I will throw in on my back for you
And when you're paralyzed and bound
I'll be waging war, my love
My love
(Into the night to the night, yeah)
My love
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
Goes where nobody knows
Goes where nobody knows
Can't give in or give up my plan
And we were swimming in the water with no hands
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
You're the light on the darkest me
Don't back out 'cause you cannot see
And though our instincts say that we should turn and run
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
And when the world is crashing down, oh
I will throw in on my back for you
And when you're paralyzed and bound
I'll be waging war, my love
My love
(Into the night to the night, yeah)
My love
And I will never quit the fight
I'll push the limits of our love
And every passing day and night
I'll push the limits of our love
And everything will be alright
I'll push the limits of our love
To see how far it goes
Goes where nobody knows
Goes where nobody knows
Goes where nobody knows

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue

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.
I think this song is about pushing boundaries in love, never letting go and just taking a risk in the relationship. The "fight" is her trying to push the limits of their love.
