For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's December
But this collision, came mid-bloom
Better built to resume
I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy
Don't rest with the less
I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's December
But this collision, came mid-bloom
Better built to resume
I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy
Don't rest with the less
I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Is it just me or does the riff at the end (from 2:10 to 2:25) sound like it matches the next track "Shelter" - although it's much slower. Every time I listen to it, in my head I hear Romy singing "maybe I had said, something that was wrong. Can I make it better, with the lights turned on"
its not just you, i thought the same thing, i hear it too.
Awesome! I love love love it. So seductive.
@jenw87, i know right???
...i agree with you on the track thing.
It definitely sounds like that! This whole album is perfectly made. It just goes along. You hit play, close your eyes and enjoy the ride of emotions.
I agree, definitely feel that it could perhaps be about unrequited love or wanting so badly to be in a relationship and that position to have someone to love, and love in return ('I'm burning to impress') be comfortable and yourself around that person completely, basically by saying ('I can be fantasy') its trying to prove all these emotions and feelings you want to feel and can share with someone. So, so beautiful. Incredible bass also.
amazing amazing amazing song.
i think its about two people that were in a relationship that failed. they're right for each other, but its just bad timing. so he's saying come back to me at a later point in time. and in the meantime, i'll fix myself to be perfect for you, because i want a perfect relationship.
or something?
a lot of the songs on the album almost border on codependency. i think this kind of adds to that.
I think it's about two people that want to be together-but may be in another realtionship. He desire's her now but They collieded to soon. He need's to finish what he started. She is his fantasy.
For the desired effect Would you come back August or June, June And I hate that tomorrow's too soon But this collision, came mid bloom
He's telling her not to settle for who's she's with. He can give her more. He can be her fantasy.
Don't rest with the less I'm burning to impress It's deep in the middle of me I can be fantasy
I may be a 100% wrong but it's just my way of interperiting it. When I hear this song; that's what I think of, only because I am in this postion, and the word's flow perfectly with how I feel.
Lines 3-4, I get:
And I hate that tomorrow's December This collision came mid-bloom
No?
well - i got it from the CD booklet, so i assume this is correct, but it does sound like December and it does go with the theme.. I'll leave it like this for now, unless someone else has more input.
I agree that it sounds like December.
I clearly hear December!
@ANorthernSoul76 same! I hear December too.
Pretty much the only song at the moment to convey everything I am feeling.
The narrator has found someone special, but the timing is all wrong.<br /> <br /> I feel you Theoogabear. I'm at the same place.
I love this song. I think he is asking his ex to come back but just not yet because it is still too soon. There is still too much pain ("and I hate that tomorrows too soon") meaning he isn't over the hurt yet, but he misses her and given some time he will be over the hurt and ready to resume the relationship. I can relate to this song since this is exactly what I am going thru. I miss my recent ex gf but with the way things ended and the way she treated me I just cant be a part of her life right now...maybe August, maybe June :p
The part I am not sure about is when he says "I'm building higher than I can see"...does he mean he is building her up in his mind or that he is building himself up to be better upon her return?
I agree with you completely. My former girl and I had to break up recently, not because we weren't getting along, but because the timing of our relationship was bad. I leave for Marine boot camp soon, and she's leaving for college. I'm under stress; she's under stress. We just want this time right now to be spent on our friends and family. When I return from boot camp mid-September, we're gonna spend the week together and see what we want to do.. start it up or let it go.<br /> <br /> Now that, I've told everyone my life story, lemme tie that back into the song...<br /> <br /> For the desired effect<br /> Would you come back August or June, June<br /> And I hate that tomorrow's too soon<br /> But this collision, came mid bloom<br /> <br /> (We're separating for a while. We still love each other, but "tomorrow's too soon," so we're going to hold out a few months. "This collision came mid bloom" to me means that our relationship ended before it fully ran it's course)<br /> <br /> Better built to resume<br /> I'll see you August, see you June<br /> I'm building higher than I can see<br /> I want fantasy<br /> <br /> ("Better built to resume" means we are "made for each other" and should probably resume.. "I'm building higher than I can see" reminds me of what I'm doing now. I'm making all these plans for the future, that I really have no business making. I need to focus. Cross the bridge when I come to it. But for now I dream, and have my fantasies.)<br /> <br /> Don't rest with the less<br /> I'm burning to impress<br /> It's deep in the middle of me<br /> I can be fantasy <br /> <br /> ("Don't rest with the less" is about not settling for someone lesser than this person you had. It's her (him) or no one else. He wants to impress her, and show her that they need to be together.)
This song makes me think of unrequited love, and when that persons rejects you, you start to fantasize about what might happen in the future, and maybe the person will change their mind, and come right back to you.. But it never happens..
This song is poetry. Beautiful, ghostly poetry.
We lust for what we cannot have, A long, unbroken chain Of lovers who remain unloved And loved who love in vain.
