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.
I was lost but now I am found
A line was crossed, a vessel run aground
The boy has gone, let's grieve and let him go
He left at dawn, but it's a new day don't you know?
In the company of wolves I sat in silence
Observant and afraid
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers
The man you see was made, oh whoa whoa
I was low but now I am high
It helps to know serenity from ennui
Oh oh, something's wrong, something's wrong,
When it all remains the same
So face the fire, come into your name
In the company of wolves I sat in silence
Observant and afraid
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers
The man you see was made, oh whoa ooh
Even I can't recall how many days I had been out there for
But when all those lights cease to shine,
I was alive I think for the first time
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds
But she bites like loveless eyes,
And with her belly full she called this rite of passage,
It was the longest night of my life
It was the longest night of my life
Even I can't recall how many days I had been out there for
But when all those lights cease to shine,
I was alive I think for the first time
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds
But she bites like loveless eyes,
And with her belly full she called this rite of passage,
It was the longest night of my life
It was the longest night of my life
A line was crossed, a vessel run aground
The boy has gone, let's grieve and let him go
He left at dawn, but it's a new day don't you know?
In the company of wolves I sat in silence
Observant and afraid
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers
The man you see was made, oh whoa whoa
I was low but now I am high
It helps to know serenity from ennui
Oh oh, something's wrong, something's wrong,
When it all remains the same
So face the fire, come into your name
In the company of wolves I sat in silence
Observant and afraid
He was there with the eyes like glowing embers
The man you see was made, oh whoa ooh
Even I can't recall how many days I had been out there for
But when all those lights cease to shine,
I was alive I think for the first time
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds
But she bites like loveless eyes,
And with her belly full she called this rite of passage,
It was the longest night of my life
It was the longest night of my life
Even I can't recall how many days I had been out there for
But when all those lights cease to shine,
I was alive I think for the first time
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds
But she bites like loveless eyes,
And with her belly full she called this rite of passage,
It was the longest night of my life
It was the longest night of my life

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Punchline

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.
It could be like the transition to become someone different or get something for you that will turn yourself into someone different.... life changes force us to move on, “something's wrong when it all remains the same” if we do not change we shall be culled as the worthless animal in a herd… the combination of both parts of this song is good but the last part It's it's f*ing awesome!!! it f**ing Rocks!! are we agreed??
