At the speed of light
At the speed of light

I have walked about a million miles
Step by step into the haze
To notice it it took a while
That circles were the ways I made
Is it far too late?
Changing my own fate
A million voices telling me
"Tomorrow is a different day
Our concept is to do the same
The opposite of yesterday"
Let me get away

At the speed of light I fly
I'm one step away
Seconds turn days into nights
And I'm on my way
At the speed of light I fly
Eons passing by
All believers still alive
At speed of light they fly

A cave - narrow walls surrounding me
This is just a place to die
Although sometimes one gets to see
Brighter lightening passing by
At the speed of light
Breaking through the night
A million voices telling me
Nonsense I should listen to
There's better life beyond these walls
And now I know what to do
I will get away

End what was there, what has been
Break the silence
Tell me about what you hold inside
See what is here, what will be
Be inspired
Take off to fly to a better life

At the speed of light I fly
I'm one step away
Seconds turn days into nights
And I'm on my way
At the speed of light I fly
Eons passing by
All believers still alive
At speed of light they fly

Flying at the speed of light
The speed of life is quickly passing by
Still it's all the same
Flying at the speed of light
The speed of life is quickly passing by
I'm here to remain

Flying at the speed of light
The speed of life is quickly passing by
Still it's all the same
Flying at the speed of light
The speed of life is quickly passing by
I'm here to remain

End what was there, what has been
Break the silence
Tell me about what you hold inside
See what is here, what will be
Be inspired
Take off to fly to a better life

At the speed of light I fly
I'm one step away
Seconds turn days into nights
And I'm on my way
At the speed of light I fly
Eons passing by
All believers still alive
At speed of light they fly

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Punchline
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
