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.
something´s come over me and I need some answers
my capulet, it seems, is just a step away
we walk, we walk this darkened road
I can´t see, I can´t see at all
this joke is getting older every single day
something´s come over me
no place I´d rather be
what are the chances
it´s right in front of me but still a step away
we walk, we walk this weary road
I can´t move, I can´t move at all
this joke is getting older every single day
I´ve heard quite enough
forget, forget it all
starting all over again
regret has mounted tall
over and over again
is this our final call
starting all over again
forget, forget it all
over and over
you can´t take it from me with softly spoken lies
one more mistake may end up costing you your life
my capulet, it seems, is just a step away
we walk, we walk this darkened road
I can´t see, I can´t see at all
this joke is getting older every single day
something´s come over me
no place I´d rather be
what are the chances
it´s right in front of me but still a step away
we walk, we walk this weary road
I can´t move, I can´t move at all
this joke is getting older every single day
I´ve heard quite enough
forget, forget it all
starting all over again
regret has mounted tall
over and over again
is this our final call
starting all over again
forget, forget it all
over and over
you can´t take it from me with softly spoken lies
one more mistake may end up costing you your life

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I don't get the capulet part. 'My capulet, it seems, is just a step away.' Is it a reference ot romeo & juliet, because that is the only capulet i know
Anyone has any comment to enlighten?
"we walk, we walk this dead end road,"
is what i get from that line..
