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.
Thought that I was strong
I know the words I need to say
Frozen in my place
I let the moment slip away
I've been screaming on the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Say it's over
Yes it's over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me, but it's not enough
Never meant to lie
But I'm not the girl you think you know
The more that I am with you
The more that I am all alone
I've been screaming on the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Say it's over
Yes it's over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me, but it's not enough
Not that I so different
Not that I don't see
The dying light of what we used to be
But how could I forgive you?
You've changed
And I'm a liar by your side
I'm about to lose my mind
'Cause I've been screaming looking inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
You've been dreaming
If you're thinking
That I still belong to you
I've been dying,
'Cause I'm lying to myself
Say it's over
Yes it's over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me but it's not enough
I know the words I need to say
Frozen in my place
I let the moment slip away
I've been screaming on the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Say it's over
Yes it's over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me, but it's not enough
Never meant to lie
But I'm not the girl you think you know
The more that I am with you
The more that I am all alone
I've been screaming on the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Say it's over
Yes it's over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me, but it's not enough
Not that I so different
Not that I don't see
The dying light of what we used to be
But how could I forgive you?
You've changed
And I'm a liar by your side
I'm about to lose my mind
'Cause I've been screaming looking inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
You've been dreaming
If you're thinking
That I still belong to you
I've been dying,
'Cause I'm lying to myself
Say it's over
Yes it's over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me but it's not enough

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.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Just caught this song a few times on another music site. I do believe you hit the nail on the head. It's a very honest song, much like another I heard tonight on this site. I love the honesty. One can build a life around honesty...make the best decisions for all involved, etc. Good song. Happy to hear honest music. It simplifies life, even when it can be painful.
