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.
Every time I close my eyes I can clearly see
The image of your smile shine through my darkest dreams
I never thought that I'd find myself this close, this close
To you, my dear, tell me what it means
I can feel your sweet caress wash away all the loneliness
That I once felt inside my heart
Boy, if you could read my mind I'm sure that you would find
What you've been searching for, what you've been searching for
Free me from despair (free me), there's so much to share
If you surrender to me
Whisper in my ears words I long to hear
Woo ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh ooh ooh
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
Boy, I got to have your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
You know, you know, you know I need your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
Boy, I got to have your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart, ha-ha-heart)
You know, you know, you know I need your love, ooh
You're like an angel in disguise, I feel like I'm in heaven
When you walk my way you're such a mystery (such a mystery)
The butterflies I feel inside must be (must be), must be (must be)
A sign of love, no one can disagree
My desire for your love is like a new horizon
Only lovers see like you and I, I
Sacred love will be the start to sacred nights, our hearts
I'll love you till my dying day, until my dying day
Free me from despair (free me), there's so much to share
If you surrender to me (to me), to me, to me
Whisper in my ears words I long to hear
Oh oh woh woah oh
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
Boy, I got to have your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
You know, you know, you know I need your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
Boy, I got to have your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart, ha-ha-heart)
You know, you know, you know I need your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
Boy, I got to have your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
You know, you know I need your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart)
Boy, I got to have your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart, ha-ha-heart)
You know, you know, you know I need your love
Free me (gotta find a way to get into your heart) from this way
I want your love, got to have your love
Whisper (gotta find a way to get into your heart) in my ears
Got to find a way to get into your heart
Tell me (gotta find a way to get into your heart) that you are mine
Boy, I've got to have your love
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart, ha-ha-heart)
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart) free me from this day, yeah
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart) there's so much to share
(Gotta find a way to get into your heart) whisper in my ear
The image of your smile shine through my darkest dreams
I never thought that I'd find myself this close, this close
To you, my dear, tell me what it means
I can feel your sweet caress wash away all the loneliness
That I once felt inside my heart
Boy, if you could read my mind I'm sure that you would find
What you've been searching for, what you've been searching for
Free me from despair (free me), there's so much to share

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
