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.
My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And I'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleepin' wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek"
"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime"
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest see
I found my destination, what I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted
One too many poisoned kisses
And I'm drowning in your deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knockin' on my heaven's door.
And the map to find my sleepin' wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream
"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek"
"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour lats for a lifetime"
Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
No dream can heal a broken heart
When we're apart
On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love

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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I feel that this songs means that this guy is in love with this girl. they were together but split because things didn't work. He still loves her but he knows that being with her again is wrong. So because he is in love with her he dreams of her and him having a good time, but he knows its wrong. "I feel something on my lips i should not." And when he talks to her he talks with his heart instead of his brain. "Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated Independent thought deleted." So because he talks with his heart he finds it hard to say no to her. It seems that she wants him back and she wants him to trust her but he doesn't (probably because of the break-up) "Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong. If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong... So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see If the life beyond this dream is what you seek..." He misses her and wants her back dearly, but again knows that its wrong. his dreams may make him happy while he sleeps but when he wakes up, it immediately turns into a deep depression. Therefore, no dream can heal a broken heart.
