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'm gonna suture up my future
I ain't jaded, I just hate it
See, I've been down too long
It's kinda hard to explain
Burned and buried all I carried
All my evils through a needle
As it pulled through the eye
What was and will are all gone
Don't sweat it
Thread to forget it
To feel like you're already gone
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Take a picture, bury it all away
Bury it all away
Tried to fake it, I just can't take it
I don't care if it hurts
Just so long as it's real
I won't waste it, turned to face it
I'd sharpened a knife, then used it till bone made it dull
Tried explaining, done explaining
Got caught in the plaid
All this talking at once
I've been giving my love away
To the things that tear it apart
I'm gonna suture up my future
Thread to forget it
To feel like you're already gone
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Tie the loose ends and bury it all away
It's like this, it's like this
I ain't jaded, I just hate it
See, I've been down too long
It's kinda hard to explain
Burned and buried all I carried
All my evils through a needle
As it pulled through the eye
What was and will are all gone
Don't sweat it
Thread to forget it
To feel like you're already gone
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Take a picture, bury it all away
Bury it all away
Tried to fake it, I just can't take it
I don't care if it hurts
Just so long as it's real
I won't waste it, turned to face it
I'd sharpened a knife, then used it till bone made it dull
Tried explaining, done explaining
Got caught in the plaid
All this talking at once
I've been giving my love away
To the things that tear it apart
I'm gonna suture up my future
Thread to forget it
To feel like you're already gone
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Tie the loose ends and bury it all away
It's like this, it's like this

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
