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.
Seduction
Danger
Temptress
There's an element of danger
And there's nothing gonna save ya
And you're heading for a steamy night
So right
Are you feeding your addiction
Throwing off your superstitions
Now accept it's just the way we are
Ha ha
Cos I can't stop living
The passion that you're giving
Never gonna stop it
Why should I if it's feeling right
And with every bit of magic
Anything you're doing
Everything
You live for the Night
And with every spell they make you
I don't see you complaining
You've succumbed to the witch of the night
So right
And it's taking you over now
And you're left just wondering how
But they see what you need
You'll never oh never be free
Cos I can't stop living
The passion that you're giving
Never gonna stop it
Why should I if it's feeling right
And with every bit of magic
Anything you're doing
Everything
You live for the Night
So when the darkness coming calling
Now you're ready for seduction
And you'll be touching what you're seeing
Cos you can do what you feel
Cos I can't stop feeling
Can't you feel me breathing
There's no use in screaming no more no more no more...
Cos I can't stop living
The passion that you're giving
There's no use in screaming no more no more no more...
No more no more no more...
Accept it's just the way we are
Danger

There's an element of danger

And you're heading for a steamy night

Ha ha
Cos I can't stop living
The passion that you're giving
Never gonna stop it
Why should I if it's feeling right
And with every bit of magic
Anything you're doing
Everything
You live for the Night
And with every spell they make you
I don't see you complaining
You've succumbed to the witch of the night
So right
And it's taking you over now
And you're left just wondering how
But they see what you need
You'll never oh never be free
Cos I can't stop living
The passion that you're giving
Never gonna stop it
Why should I if it's feeling right
And with every bit of magic
Anything you're doing
Everything
You live for the Night
So when the darkness coming calling
Now you're ready for seduction
And you'll be touching what you're seeing
Cos you can do what you feel
Cos I can't stop feeling
Can't you feel me breathing
There's no use in screaming no more no more no more...
Cos I can't stop living
The passion that you're giving
There's no use in screaming no more no more no more...
No more no more no more...
Accept it's just the way we are

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.
It's about walking into a doorway of magic. How you've lost yourself to someone's power, but even while knowing, you can't help but put one foot in front of the other because this is how you want to feel. You want to succumb to it. The night is perfect in drawing you in by whatever forceful measure, and then you realize that the very thing that caused you to let yourself go, is simply you losing your inhibitions. It is willfully succumbing to the night in utter delight.
