The fog is slowly lifting
The lighthouse, she is dancing
Like a skater etching circles
But the pond is rarely frozen over
You, now I remember
It's Maine in mid-September
And everything that mattered
Stayed safe between our hands
You turn to me and smile
You feel those chills?
 
So I went racing living
And you went right on giving
And time went by like steam trains
Sorry, if I made you feel alone
Even though I was so close
But now, as I look around this place
It could be home
 
And here I am
Trapped within this moment again
Holding firm, on this aerial I send
And now I know
Like I've never really known before
Come what may
To remember it and soar
You ask of me once more
"You feel those chills?"
 
I remember when we
Were out there alone,
And there we knew we had to stay
Something shifted
Before the snow could subside
And everything that mattered
Turned slowly around
(And did you see it then?)
 
I'm flyin ' down the freeway
On an empty, narrow bypass
And reflected far beneath me
The lights flash just like cameras
And you, now I remember
Caught beyond the simple splendor
So we covered up the embers
And left what we'd been given on the way
Past the mountains and the storms
 
Here I am
Trapped within this moment again
Holding firm, on this aerial I send
And now I know
Like I've never really known before
Come what may
To remember it and soar
 
Here I am
Trapped within this moment again
Holding firm, on this aerial I send
And now I know
Like I've never really known before
Come what may
To remember it and soar
You turn to me once more
 
It's early Tuesday morning
And you're gently, calmly sleeping
I can hear the water turning
And the heaviness is overwhelming

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
