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.
We're the sons and the daughters of millionaires
Living in our homes in the fragment fields
visit
to your alleys
where the streets are aligned in witnesses
ostracize you walk with for
clutch
watch
kick
to your head and then you run
don't look back to
the homes of the brave
at night no stars are shining
though houses are a beautiful sight
with hanging ___________??
walks on stones I spit on
the homes of the brave
the homes of the brave
the homes of the brave
the homes of the brave
we're watching so amazed at
how proud the thoughts they gave were
given with the love that they started what was
meant for me
oh you're a ___________??
to the homes of the brave
Living in our homes in the fragment fields
visit
to your alleys
where the streets are aligned in witnesses
ostracize you walk with for
clutch
watch
kick
to your head and then you run
don't look back to
the homes of the brave
at night no stars are shining
though houses are a beautiful sight
with hanging ___________??
walks on stones I spit on
the homes of the brave
the homes of the brave
the homes of the brave
the homes of the brave
we're watching so amazed at
how proud the thoughts they gave were
given with the love that they started what was
meant for me
oh you're a ___________??
to the homes of the brave

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.

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.
these are probably TERRIBLY wrong, but whatever. some gogogo airheart lyrics were much needed.
