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.
From the day that I saw you
I knew that we would pursue
'Cause the chemistry we felt that day
Felt so real and so true
Looking back on a year we spent together
How it's been,
What we went through
Although we've had our
Little ups and downs
We've still pulled through
Baby girl you're my world
My everything
I want to lace you with diamonds and every ring
Give you everything you dream and fantasize
'Cause you can tell me
That you love me looking in my eyes
You keep it real with me
I keep it real with you
You keep on loving me
I'll keep on loving you
Keep doing what you do
I feel your whole aura
And I can't wait to hook up
Again tomorrow baby
What
My love for won't ever end
You'll always be apart of me
As long as time keeps on passing by
You'll be my baby boy
Every time I look at you
I can't believe
I've found a love so true and
I took time to put
My trust in you
I must admit it was so hard to do
And every minute that I spend with you
You make me believe
I have nothing to loose and
Deep down I always knew
That you would be mine
Do you believe in destiny?
Because I got a funny feeling
This was meant to be
Without you I'd be lost,
I need you next to me
Preferably in a house full
Of luxuries and little kids
From day one I was sprung,
Knew you was gonna be the one
'Cause my heart spoke for the
Very first time in a long while
And every time you smile, I can see
Us walking up the aisle with you
Carrying my child
C'mon
My love for you won't ever end
You'll always be apart of me
As long as time keeps on passing by
You'll be my baby boy
If you were to go, I don't know
You're the only one who
Sweeps me off my feet
Makes my soul go week
The only one who makes
My heart want to beat and I,
I could never live without you
You know that what I feel
Has to be true
'Cause you're my, my sweet love
Ever since the first time,
That I looked into your eyes
I knew that you were
Gonna be mine
Feeling you from the inside
When you're not by my side
You're the only girl
That's on my mind
I never knew a love like this,
A long so strong
A vision so picture perfect
It could never be wrong
Along the way, you're gonna
See you belong wit Jay
I might have to marry you one day baby eh
My love for you won't ever end
You'll always be apart of me
As long as time keeps on passing by
You'll be my baby boy
My love for you won't ever end
You'll always be apart of me
As long as time keeps on passing by
You'll be my baby boy
I knew that we would pursue
'Cause the chemistry we felt that day
Felt so real and so true
Looking back on a year we spent together
How it's been,
What we went through
Although we've had our
Little ups and downs
We've still pulled through
Baby girl you're my world
My everything
I want to lace you with diamonds and every ring
Give you everything you dream and fantasize
'Cause you can tell me
That you love me looking in my eyes
You keep it real with me
I keep it real with you
You keep on loving me
I'll keep on loving you
Keep doing what you do
I feel your whole aura
And I can't wait to hook up
Again tomorrow baby
What
My love for won't ever end
You'll always be apart of me
As long as time keeps on passing by
You'll be my baby boy

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”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Alex = my baby boy It doesnt matter if we went through all types of shit my baby, it doesnt matter if we never see each other again. We both know... Theres nothing i can do to stop myself from loving you
