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.
Is this the whole picture
Or is this just the start?
Is this the way you love me?
You're capturing my heart
I used to try and walk alone
But I've begun to grow
And when You tell me just to rest
I'm finally letting go, I let go
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms I'm home
I'm seeing so much clearer
Looking through Your eyes
I could never find a safer place
Even if I tried
All the times I've needed You
You've never left my side
I'm clinging to Your every word
Don't ever let me go, don't let go
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms I'm home, I'm home
I'm wrapped in Your arms
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms I'm home, I'm home
Or is this just the start?
Is this the way you love me?
You're capturing my heart
I used to try and walk alone
But I've begun to grow
And when You tell me just to rest
I'm finally letting go, I let go
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms I'm home
I'm seeing so much clearer
Looking through Your eyes
I could never find a safer place
Even if I tried
All the times I've needed You
You've never left my side
I'm clinging to Your every word
Don't ever let me go, don't let go
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms I'm home, I'm home
I'm wrapped in Your arms
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know I'm okay
You cradle me gently
Wrapped in Your arms I'm home, I'm home

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
So I know they're a christian band, but at the same time, I think it could also go as like, you've found that person, that you don't want to let go of,(:
I have to agree with amber3291, that this is a song about letting your guard down and letting God in. I think the line of the chorus where she says "nothing can separate us" could be a reference to Romans 8:38-39
I see the connection to God, but like Alexajayy said, It could be interpreted as the bond between two people in true love...
this song is one of the best songs i have heard from fireflight. the vocals are perfection, especially the harmony at the end. this song is just talking about finally letting your guard down and walking with God, letting him carry you. This song is about letting go and letting God take control of your life, which is something everyone needs to do.
the vocals are very good. The singer sings the song as almost as she means it in her own way.
I couldn't agree more. I am in love with Romans 8:38.
I preformed this song in front of my church, but I dedicated it to God, my dad, and my step-mom. I think it could go either way.
True this is about letting one's guard down and allowing God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in your life. However it touched my heart in another way. I once was an Agnostic until the Holy Spirit touched me at the Orthodox Church. I prayed for a special love, wanting a lady in my life. However God, brought me a special love that I lost 20 years ago when my father died. The love I have for my priest is the love a son has for his father, yet he is younger than me. Whenever I hug him I feel this powerful love and can't imagine my life without him. I'm home in the Orthodox church. When he hugs me I'm cradled gently in the arms of love
