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.
Cuckoo
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today, hey
Oh
The room will change today (hey)
I have no place to stay (hey)
Thinking about the subway (hey)
My love has flown away (hey)
My tears have come and gone (hey)
Oh, my Lord, I have to run
I have no home (hey)
I have no home (hey)
Now the time has come (time)
No place to run (time)
I might get burned up by the sun (time)
But I'll have my fun (time)
I've been loved and put aside (time)
I've been crushed by tumbling tide (time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (time)
(Time)
Now the time has come (time)
There are things to realize (time)
Time has come today (time)
Time has come today (time)
Time
Time
Time
Time
Yeah
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today, hey
Oh
The room will change today (hey)
I have no place to stay (hey)
Thinking about the subway (hey)
My love has flown away (hey)
My tears have come and gone (hey)
Oh, my Lord, I have to run
I have no home (hey)
I have no home (hey)
Now the time has come (time)
No place to run (time)
I might get burned up by the sun (time)
But I'll have my fun (time)
I've been loved and put aside (time)
I've been crushed by tumbling tide (time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (time)
(Time)
Now the time has come (time)
There are things to realize (time)
Time has come today (time)
Time has come today (time)
Time
Time
Time
Time
Yeah

Blue

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.
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.
And here all these years I thought this was Jimi Hendrix.
