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.
Hail Satan!
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
You ain't no operator, so who the fuck are you then
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
If you don't hit those faders I won't ever stop
Sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
With a to the and a with a
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
You ain't no operator
You ain't no operator
I want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be
Pretty
Down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self
Get down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
We love you
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
You stupid man, you try to get information
For what, for why, for this is not a resident
This is mine nigga, this is mine
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
I want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be
Pretty
Down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self
Get down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self
Down
Rock this joint nigga
Rock this joint nigga
Rock this joint nigga
In an old school way
This is nice workmanship...
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
You ain't no operator, so who the fuck are you then
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
If you don't hit those faders I won't ever stop
Sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
With a to the and a with a
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
You ain't no operator
You ain't no operator
I want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be

Pretty
Down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self
Get down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
We love you
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
You stupid man, you try to get information
For what, for why, for this is not a resident
This is mine nigga, this is mine
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
I sneak up and hit you like a fuckin' tornado
I want to be
want to be
want to be
want to be

Pretty
Down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self
Get down, get down, gettin' down with my bad self

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

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.
