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.

Music!
Music!
[Guru]
Times like this make me clench my fist
Then I'm caught up in the midst of the musical bliss
Guru, blow a kiss to the ladies in my corner
Caress the mic, and kick my game like I want to
What? You never see the brother Guru falter
Respect is due; praise me like the altar
The crew - we're as true as they come, son
We come from ill life experience, and take rap serious
Feel the music
[Chorus]
We hold the key to our destiny
We can make it, everybody
Feel the music
Just free your mind; sit back, relax, and unwind
To a higher plane, we're going
Can you feel the music?
Music!
[Guru]
Original baldhead Crooklynite, rudebwoy instructor
I came back to lay down law to the suckers
I'll crush ya if you ain't actin' like my brother
Make one false move and with the mic I'll bust ya
Just lay back, and feel the music
[Chorus]
Music!
Music!
Music!
[Guru]
When I step into the club, I come to do work
No hesitation because I'm fully alert
Like Max Julien, I'm an authentic mack
Many others can't compare; I'll bet on that
Dialect and vocal tone, completely exact
I react, then I max in this mellow track
In fact I'm knockin' emcees out the frame
'Cause I'm smooth like jazz
Guru is my name
Feel the music
Music!
We hold the key to our destiny
We can make it, everybody
Feel the music
[Guru]
New reality - a higher level of consciousness
Don't play yourself; get out of line and get stomped with this
Negativity is a chronic disease
But I'm like the cure, causin' infections to freeze
I'm not gonna let up until you get the picture
My sound gets around, so you know I'm always with ya
Feel the music
Music!
[Chorus]
Music!
Music!
[Guru]
Times like this make me clench my fist
Then I'm caught up in the midst of the musical bliss
Guru, blow a kiss to the ladies in my corner

Respect is due; praise me like the altar
The crew - we're as true as they come, son
We come from ill life experience, and take rap serious
Feel the music
[Chorus]
We hold the key to our destiny
We can make it, everybody
Feel the music

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
