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.
I looked in the mirror today
Took a good look at my face
And all I guess that I can say
Is I'm just a man trying to find his way
It's been a long and windy road
But at least I got you to hold
And I've become the man I am
'Cause all our troubles made me understand
It's been all of our lives
All of our lives I want to stay this way
Our Lord knows we're gonna make mistakes
But I'll give up everything to make it through
And all our lives ain't been the easiest time
And Lord knows it's been an up hill climb
But I'll do it all again to be with you
Ever since we went through with the plan
I'm feeling like I've become a better man
'Cause I'm giving up that part of me
That held me back from being free
And now when we kiss I feel your soul
I'm putting back the pieces others stole
And now nobody can hurt
My baby cause we make it work
I can't hold the rain back when it starts to storms
(Just let it rain)
You don't have to fight your feelings anymore
(We can learn from the pain)
When I'm all alone I count the reasons why
Just till you think girl, you'll be alright
You just take your time
All of your live
All of our lives I want to stay this way
Our Lord knows we're gonna make mistakes
But I'll give up everything to make it through
And all our lives ain't been the easiest time
And Lord knows it's been an up hill climb
But I'll do it all again to be with you
All of our lives I want to stay this way
Our Lord knows we're gonna make mistakes
But I'll give up everything to make it through
And all our lives ain't been the easiest time
And Lord knows it's been an up hill climb
But I'll do it all again to be with you
I'm not going away girl
Love is just a thought away
When I go away girl
How much I love you
How much I do love you baby
All of our lives I want to stay, stay this way
I'm gonna make, make it through yeah
That's why all of our lives, ooh ooh
We are gonna make it through, make it through baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Took a good look at my face
And all I guess that I can say
Is I'm just a man trying to find his way
It's been a long and windy road
But at least I got you to hold
And I've become the man I am
'Cause all our troubles made me understand
It's been all of our lives
All of our lives I want to stay this way
Our Lord knows we're gonna make mistakes
But I'll give up everything to make it through
And all our lives ain't been the easiest time
And Lord knows it's been an up hill climb
But I'll do it all again to be with you
Ever since we went through with the plan
I'm feeling like I've become a better man
'Cause I'm giving up that part of me
That held me back from being free
And now when we kiss I feel your soul
I'm putting back the pieces others stole
And now nobody can hurt
My baby cause we make it work
I can't hold the rain back when it starts to storms
(Just let it rain)
You don't have to fight your feelings anymore
(We can learn from the pain)
When I'm all alone I count the reasons why
Just till you think girl, you'll be alright
You just take your time
All of your live
All of our lives I want to stay this way
Our Lord knows we're gonna make mistakes
But I'll give up everything to make it through
And all our lives ain't been the easiest time
And Lord knows it's been an up hill climb
But I'll do it all again to be with you
All of our lives I want to stay this way
Our Lord knows we're gonna make mistakes
But I'll give up everything to make it through
And all our lives ain't been the easiest time
And Lord knows it's been an up hill climb
But I'll do it all again to be with you
I'm not going away girl
Love is just a thought away
When I go away girl
How much I love you
How much I do love you baby
All of our lives I want to stay, stay this way
I'm gonna make, make it through yeah
That's why all of our lives, ooh ooh
We are gonna make it through, make it through baby
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
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.
