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.
You used to be so far away
Now I can almost touch
I can taste the metal
Feel the gun in my mouth
Who will change my life?
How can I trust?
Who will break my heart?
And how can I rest as I must?
His leg twitches, he looks up
Which one will he fuck?
Takes her by the hand and smiles
you are mine tonight,
Forget about the smell
Leave yourself behind
There is something in the air
That reminds you of your life
You used to be so far away
Now I can almost touch
I can taste the metal
Feel the gun in my mouth
Who will change my life?
How can I trust?
Who will break my heart?
And how can I rest as I must?
Now I can almost touch
I can taste the metal
Feel the gun in my mouth
Who will change my life?
How can I trust?
Who will break my heart?
And how can I rest as I must?
His leg twitches, he looks up
Which one will he fuck?
Takes her by the hand and smiles
you are mine tonight,
Forget about the smell
Leave yourself behind
There is something in the air
That reminds you of your life
You used to be so far away
Now I can almost touch
I can taste the metal
Feel the gun in my mouth
Who will change my life?
How can I trust?
Who will break my heart?
And how can I rest as I must?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
That is so weird. I actually thought about prostitution when I heard this at first, but for some reason I just wouldn't believe it was about such a strong topic (apparently I underestimate Kate), and when I heard her interview about this song, I got so shocked I was right. This song is absolutely wonderful.
The lyrics are: There is something in the air That reminds you of your life
I seriously have no idea what this means, but I'm dying to know. Seems like some kind of twisted dream or something.
youtube.com/watch<br /> <br /> She explains this one at around 7 minutes :)
Thank you!
Yeah, it was about prostitution. She said that she read a short story were this prostitute had this customer who just wanted her to drink his pee, and nothing else. And so he was pretty well her best friend. Does anyone know what the story was? There's a vid on youtube where she says what all the songs on My Best Friend were written about.
I have searched for the youtube video and I cant find it anywhere - any chance you could post me a link to it or tell me where to look please? I would love to see it.<br /> Thank you!<br /> xx
Hello, sorry this is so late, but if you still want it the link is: youtube.com/watch<br /> :)<br /> in case that doesn't work it's called Kate Nash - "My Best Friend Is You" - Track By Track
