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.
Weak I have been crying and crying for weeks
How'd I survive when I can barely speak
Barely eat on my knees
But that's the moment you came to me
I don't know what your love's done to me
Think I'm invincible I see
Through the me
I used to be
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
Superhuman
Strong since I've been flying and righting the wrongs
Feels almost like I had it all along I can see tomorrow
For every problem is gone because
I flew everywhere with love inside of me
It's unbelievable to see
How love can set me free
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
It's not a bird, not a plane
It's my heart and its going going away
My only weakness is you
Only reason is you
Every minute with you
I feel like I can do anything
Going going I'm gone away in love
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Superhuman
Superhuman
How'd I survive when I can barely speak
Barely eat on my knees
But that's the moment you came to me
I don't know what your love's done to me
Think I'm invincible I see
Through the me
I used to be
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
Superhuman
Strong since I've been flying and righting the wrongs
Feels almost like I had it all along I can see tomorrow
For every problem is gone because
I flew everywhere with love inside of me
It's unbelievable to see
How love can set me free
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
Superhuman (I feel so superhuman)
It's not a bird, not a plane
It's my heart and its going going away
My only weakness is you
Only reason is you
Every minute with you
I feel like I can do anything
Going going I'm gone away in love
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
This song is so amazing first time I heard it I cried. But the lyrics are wrong..
This song is about pretty much what everyone has said. A brutal breakup left Chris down and in the dumps and this girl comes out of nowhere and saves him and makes him feel like he can do anything as long as he has her.
