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.
Now the snow will fall and the lover's call
Will be drenched out by the shatterin' of verse
As the seasoned shifts lonely minds will drift
On the ocean in a build above its lore
As I knock your door from inside once more
How I wish a soothin' breeze would let me in
Shake my tambourine at your glowing dreams
So honey won't you let me in, oh
As we cease to know where our fate will go
We won't see the rivers tied up in the vines
Branches will untie every mumblin' lie
Every frayed word in your lullaby is heard
Oh when I catch the ? of our ?
How I wish the turning sunset could record
Blow my engine steam at your glowin' dreams
So honey won't you let me in, oh
Now the dust will rise, dress the olden skies
Just a gallery of words we've used much
It's a ? but what if it's too late
To be building up our muscles in ?
Put me on the mornin' ship and I will take the trip
To return with all the treasures of the past
It will always seem like a glowin' dream
So honey won't you let me in
I said honey won't you let me in, oh
Will be drenched out by the shatterin' of verse
As the seasoned shifts lonely minds will drift
On the ocean in a build above its lore
As I knock your door from inside once more
How I wish a soothin' breeze would let me in
Shake my tambourine at your glowing dreams
So honey won't you let me in, oh
As we cease to know where our fate will go
We won't see the rivers tied up in the vines
Branches will untie every mumblin' lie
Every frayed word in your lullaby is heard
Oh when I catch the ? of our ?
How I wish the turning sunset could record
Blow my engine steam at your glowin' dreams
So honey won't you let me in, oh
Now the dust will rise, dress the olden skies
Just a gallery of words we've used much
It's a ? but what if it's too late
To be building up our muscles in ?
Put me on the mornin' ship and I will take the trip
To return with all the treasures of the past
It will always seem like a glowin' dream
So honey won't you let me in
I said honey won't you let me in, oh

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

Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is what I think he sings:
Now the snow will fall and the lover's call Will be drenched out by the shatterin' of birds As the seasons shift, lonely minds will drift On the ocean in a build above its lore As I knock your door from inside once more How I wish a sudden breeze would let me in Shake my tambourine at your glowing dreams So honey won't you let me in, oh
As we cease to know where our FEET will go We won't see the RIBBONS tied up in the PINES Branches will untie every mumblin' lie Every FRAILED word in your lullaby is heard Oh when I catch the FORCE of our FIRST DIVORCE How I wish the turning suset could record Blow my engine steam at your glowin' dreams So honey won't you let me in, oh
Now the dust will rise, dress the olden skies Just a gallery of words we've used too much It's a feathers weight but what if it's too late To be building up our muscles in DISTRACT Put me on the mornin' ship and I will take the trip To return with all the treasures of OUR past It will always seem like a glowin' dream So honey won't you let me in I said honey won't you let me in, oh
Agree with most of this, except for: <br /> <br /> -'verse', not 'birds'<br /> -possibly 'build-up of its roar', but not sure<br /> -definitely 'frayed', not 'frailed'<br /> -maybe 'fores', not 'force'<br /> -might be 'divorce', but I don't hear 'first' at all<br /> -definitely not 'distract', maybe 'drag' or 'track'<br /> -definitely 'the past', not 'our past'
-Every FRAIL word. <br /> -...,dress the OPEN skies. <br /> -...building up our muscles in this DRAFT. <br /> -I think it's "First Divorce" too. (or fifth.)<br /> -definitely OUR past. <br /> <br /> Watch the youtube version of it where he plays on kexp.
Artists change their lyrics all the time when performing live. This is purely about what he says on the recording.
