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.
She said live young and leave a wake of beauty,
It's all I ever could have asked
Should have asked from you,
And I won't forget to write you
When I get there soon
'Cause you'll be lying dead
From stab wounds to the
Neck and chest again,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
Face first in a tale of awkward love,
They found you covered up in blood,
She' bleeding she's bleeding
Gone with the stitching in her heart
Left out a silhouette that just won't
Heal and dying in your arms tonight
This dream, we die,
Locked away,
With this blood, and this knife
This dream, we die,
Locked away,
With this blood,
And this knife
I know it's all
Just a bad dream now
So now midnights here
You're all alone
They use this fear
It's all just a bad dream
And I can't seem to
Wake up from this [2x]
In my dreams, we die,
With this blood, and this knife
In my dreams, we die,
With this blood, and this knife now
I know it's all just a bad dream now
(i know it's all just a bad dream now)
It's all just a bad dream now
(I know it's all just a bad dream now)
It's all just a bad dream now
(I know it's all just a bad dream now)
I say
This is the last time that
I'll ever get to see your face alive,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
And I know that everyday's a new day
And my dreams will never die,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
She said live young and leave a wake of beauty,
It's all I ever could have asked
Should have asked from you,
And I won't forget to write you
When I get there soon
'Cause you'll be lying dead from dreaming (nightmares)
So now midnights here
You're all alone
They use this fear
It's all just a bad dream
And I can't seem to
Wake up from this
Wake up from this
Wake up from this
It's all I ever could have asked
Should have asked from you,
And I won't forget to write you
When I get there soon
'Cause you'll be lying dead
From stab wounds to the
Neck and chest again,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
Face first in a tale of awkward love,
They found you covered up in blood,
She' bleeding she's bleeding
Gone with the stitching in her heart
Left out a silhouette that just won't
Heal and dying in your arms tonight
This dream, we die,
Locked away,
With this blood, and this knife
This dream, we die,
Locked away,
With this blood,
And this knife
I know it's all
Just a bad dream now
So now midnights here
You're all alone
They use this fear
It's all just a bad dream
And I can't seem to
Wake up from this [2x]
In my dreams, we die,
With this blood, and this knife
In my dreams, we die,
With this blood, and this knife now
I know it's all just a bad dream now
(i know it's all just a bad dream now)
It's all just a bad dream now
(I know it's all just a bad dream now)
It's all just a bad dream now
(I know it's all just a bad dream now)
I say
This is the last time that
I'll ever get to see your face alive,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
And I know that everyday's a new day
And my dreams will never die,
They found you covered up in blood,
Covered head to toe in blood
She said live young and leave a wake of beauty,
It's all I ever could have asked
Should have asked from you,
And I won't forget to write you
When I get there soon
'Cause you'll be lying dead from dreaming (nightmares)
So now midnights here
You're all alone
They use this fear
It's all just a bad dream
And I can't seem to
Wake up from this
Wake up from this
Wake up from this

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”

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.
this is actually the real version of KNIFE BLOOD NIGHTMARE this is the real knife blood nightmare (video version):
DIE! She said live young and leave a wake of beauty. That's all I ever could have asked, Should have asked from you. And I won't forget to write you, When I get there soon. 'Cause you'll be lying dead From stab wounds to the neck and chest again.
They found you covered up in blood, Covered head to toe in blood. Face first in a tale of awkward love. They found you covered up in blood, She's bleeding, she's bleeding.
Gone with the stitching in her heart. Left out a silhouette that just won't Heal and dying in your arms tonight.
In my dreams, we die. (Locked away) With this blood and this knife. In my dreams, we die. (Locked away) With this blood and this knife, now.
I know it's all just a bad dream now.
So now midnight's here. You're all alone. They use this fear. It's all just a bad dream. And I can't seem to... Wake up from this.
