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.
My life it feels just like a never-ending Monday morning
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
Will it ever end?
No, I don't like it
No color in the sky, the same old tired situation
Stuck in the place I can't escape
I've been here way too long
All this monotony has gotten me nowhere
But doubt I'm reckless and on fire
I still remember
We did whatever
We had it all when we were young and free
Was never better, those were the best of times
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I die
I go to work, the boss is clamoring for my attention
Another monologue I've heard a million times before
No, I'm not lying
I'm bored to death as I can beg it since I don't remember
It's like a promise, like a suicide I can't endure
Whenever I don't get any time I think I'm gonna die
I'm reckless and on fire
I still remember
I did whatever
I had it all when I was young and free
Was never better, those were the best of times
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I die
I wanna feel what I felt before
I wanna know there's something more
'Cause the Devil down in me, it never dies
I wanna revel in ecstasy
I want that drug down at me
Wanna live just like I'm dying
I don't wanna let this moment pass me by
I wave bye bye bye
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I die
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
Will it ever end?
No, I don't like it
No color in the sky, the same old tired situation
Stuck in the place I can't escape
I've been here way too long
All this monotony has gotten me nowhere
But doubt I'm reckless and on fire
I still remember
We did whatever
We had it all when we were young and free
Was never better, those were the best of times
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I die
I go to work, the boss is clamoring for my attention
Another monologue I've heard a million times before
No, I'm not lying
I'm bored to death as I can beg it since I don't remember
It's like a promise, like a suicide I can't endure
Whenever I don't get any time I think I'm gonna die
I'm reckless and on fire
I still remember
I did whatever
I had it all when I was young and free
Was never better, those were the best of times
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I die
I wanna feel what I felt before
I wanna know there's something more
'Cause the Devil down in me, it never dies
I wanna revel in ecstasy
I want that drug down at me
Wanna live just like I'm dying
I don't wanna let this moment pass me by
I wave bye bye bye
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I
One last thrill and always
It seemed to feel so right
What I'd give for one taste
Of one last thrill before I die

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
