My cry echoes on a naked wall
Cold like a crystal
Numbered hours creeping
Insanity strangles reality...

Weakened, crushed, formed
New dimensions arise
My mind becomes a fortress
Inpregnable, shut

The walls between us make the public safe...

Read my scars...see why I'm like that
Read my scars...and don't ask me why

Whisper turns into a scream
Light would burn my skin
My legs, useless instruments
My eyes, almost blind

See the sunny world outside
Ignorant of the fact
Faking shock, forgetting fast
Freedom is a gift...

My cry echoes on a naked wall
Cold like a crystal
Numbered hours creeping
Insanity strangles reality...

The walls between us make the public safe...
Read my scars...see why I'm like that
Read my scars...and don't ask me why

The walls between us make the public safe...

Read my scars...see why I'm like that
Read my scars...and don't ask me why

My Interpretation
an imprisoned individual whose crimes were triggered by abuse suffered earlier in life.

"the walls between us make the public feel safe"

Society doesn't want to hear about the reasons for crime, it just wants to inflict punishment for perceived depravity and deformity of character.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat

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”

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
