We Are We Are

Brigands

our souls are spotless so we're taking our aim
bandwagon sniffing out a harmless mistake
i gave you half a chance you couldn't
come the whole way
but i'm sure you'll be fine
by the end of the day

(prechorus)
come we'll meet
anonymously
grab your pitchforks and your torches
and your mob mentality

(chorus)
we are we are one more person to blame
we're hunting for someone to shoulder our shame
we never miss a chance never go on our way
we are we are one more person to blame


i sleep so sound each night cos someone agrees
with where i put a line that nobody sees
if you're not fine in time well it's not on me
my soul is spotless cos of what i believe

(prechorus)
come we'll blow
this up til it explodes
grab your soapbox and your pedestal
and gobs of throwing stones

(chorus)

(bridge)
and oh how fast you're hiding
if the light ever lands on you
and oh how loud you're crying
you're crying out but just for you

(chorus)

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about the mentality of being on the Internet, anonymously criticizing people, and only seeing things from one point of view.

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.

Holiday
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
“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.

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.

Page
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.
