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.
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Down here in the pit
Where only blind eyes see
My compass is the heart
And sheer brutality
It's the primitive in man
That is taking control
In the season of the Haythor
Reversal of the pole
Darling, your eyes were full of darkness
Now someone else holds what was mine
Darling, your womb gave birth to stars and light
Now there is hollowness inside
And emptiness behind
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Out here in the fields
Where only insticts dwell
On the quest to find my fellow
I'm sensating your smell
Through the forest of the coming
And the planes of the before
In the night of the apocalypse
We reunite the core
Darling, your eyes were full of darkness
Now someone else holds what was mine
Darling, your womb gave birth to stars and light
Now there is hollowness inside
And emptiness behind
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Through the forest of the coming
And the planes of the before
In the night of the apocalypse
We reunite the core x2
Darling, your eyes were full of darkness
Now someone else holds what was mine
Darling, your womb gave birth to stars and light
Now there is hollowness inside
And emptiness behind
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Down here in the pit
Where only blind eyes see
My compass is the heart
And sheer brutality
It's the primitive in man
That is taking control
In the season of the Haythor
Reversal of the pole
Darling, your eyes were full of darkness
Now someone else holds what was mine
Darling, your womb gave birth to stars and light
Now there is hollowness inside
And emptiness behind
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Out here in the fields
Where only insticts dwell
On the quest to find my fellow
I'm sensating your smell
Through the forest of the coming
And the planes of the before
In the night of the apocalypse
We reunite the core
Darling, your eyes were full of darkness
Now someone else holds what was mine
Darling, your womb gave birth to stars and light
Now there is hollowness inside
And emptiness behind
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Through the forest of the coming
And the planes of the before
In the night of the apocalypse
We reunite the core x2
Darling, your eyes were full of darkness
Now someone else holds what was mine
Darling, your womb gave birth to stars and light
Now there is hollowness inside
And emptiness behind
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void
Goddess of the void

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
