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 moment you opened your heart
I knew
These tears of love
Will carry you through
(Say that you will
Carry me through)
I'm drowned in love with you
Your knee deep in my dreams
I'll keep you close
Your medicine touch
Is the right dose
(Say that you will
Carry me through)
I'm drowned in love with you
All the sky went violet
It's the color of my heart
I searched so long to find it
It was right here all along
With this tune
I bring all my love to you
You made me realize
You opened up my eyes
To true love
I knew
These tears of love
Will carry you through
(Say that you will
Carry me through)
I'm drowned in love with you
Your knee deep in my dreams
I'll keep you close
Your medicine touch
Is the right dose
(Say that you will
Carry me through)
I'm drowned in love with you
All the sky went violet
It's the color of my heart
I searched so long to find it
It was right here all along
With this tune
I bring all my love to you
You made me realize
You opened up my eyes
To true love

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
