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.

Welcome to your resting place
Please enjoy your stay
I'll be your ambassador
Of sorrow and decay
[Metal Masked Assassin](Magnus)
I WILL TAKE THEM(It takes patience)
I WILL BREAK THEM(We are aligned)
I WILL CLAW AT THEIR FLESH AND FORSAKE THEM(You have the strength, but the cunning is all mine)
SEEK REVENGEANCE(I am the brains)
FOR MY BROTHER(You are the power)
I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I'M SATISFIED(The legacy of Dethklok will be devoured)
[Magnus]
I'm not a terrible person
I'm just a man filled with pain
Cast out by the Klok to live in obscurity
I would pay them back the same way
I'm no murderer, I'm just a man
I'm the judge and jury and your case is in my hands
You should be on my side, so should she
[Magnus and Assassin]
WHEN DETHKLOK IS IMPRISONED, THE WORLD WILL THANK ME!!
[Magnus](Toki Wartooth){Metal Masked Assassin}
Whoa(Whoa!)
You are my bait(You're scaring's me, woah!)
When they come for you, they'll be trapped
Whoa(Whoa!)
I've been so patient(You're scaring's me)
My reward is soon(Please don't's hurts us, we ain't done nothing wrong, my friend)
Whoa {WE'LL FINISH THEM}
My apologies {WE'LL FINISH THEM}
You're just like me {WE'LL FINISH THEM}
A victim of the band {WE'LL FINISH THEM}
Whoa(Whoa!) {WE'LL FINISH THEM}
I see it all so clearly(You're scaring's me!!){WE'LL FINISH THEM}
They will live just like me...
[Magnus and Assassin]
IN OBSCURITY!

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
