Oh Ana

Mother Mother

I'll be God
I'll be God, I'll be God, I'll be God today
Hold my head under the bath and breathe away
Slit my wrists and watch that blood evaporate
Being this Godly can't be good for Ana's safety, Ana, hear me

I'll play God
I'll play God, I'll play God, I'll play God today
Ante up and play that God a poker game
Walk away with all our little God's spare change
Playing this God, it can't be good for Ana's safety, Ana, hear me

Oh Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill

I'll fake God
I'll fake God, I'll fake God, I'll fake God today
Hop up on a cloud and watch the world decay
Ana on my shoulders and we'll laugh away
Faking this God, it can't be good for Ana's safety, Ana, hear me
Ana, baby, I'm not crazy
Oh Ana, oh Ana

Oh Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill

Kill
Kill
Kill
Kill

Oh Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill
Ana, I'll be with you still
You are the angel that I couldn't kill
I couldn't kill
I couldn't kill
I couldn't kill
No, I couldn't kill
No, I couldn't kill
No, I couldn't kill Ana
Oh Ana

    anorexia? wtf?

    i think ana is a small child or baby, and the whole song is about a person who obviously doesnt lead the best life, and ana is being exposed to it.

    the person is saying that the things they're doing aren't good for "ana's safety" because it's destroying her innocence.

    the verses are pretty straightfoward:

    suicide = first verse. that's "being God" because they're taking a life. obviously exposing a small child to suicide isn't very good for them.

    gambling=second verse. the reference to "god" isn't really God, it's a person good @ gambling.another not so good thing to expose a child to.

    the third verse is my absolute favorite. it can be taken so many different ways...

    one of which, if you're not into God, is to interpret that they are saying that God pretty much just sits up in heaven all day and watches the world slowly get destroyed, and it's like, entertaining. so by "faking god", the person is pretty much just sitting there and watching everything go to shit and not do anything about it, and ana is on his shoulders being exposed to it too, laughing.

    or....

    you can put the blame on human beings. "watching the world decay" because humans ARE always trying to play god and sin in the process.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

Plastic Bag
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.
