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.
so close to
no one that
you care for
cause you dont care
its not worth it
cant think straight
so take your pill
and stop whining
so close your eyes
and think of your lies
behind the wall
of innocence lost
think of family
and think of your friends
think about all these thoughts will be gone when your dead dead
always feel discomfort
always feel alone well who cares about it
cant find a
good reason
to stay here
so stop whining
so close your eyes
and think of your lies
behind the wall
of innocence lost
think of family
and think of your friends
think about all these thoughts will be gone
if you really did
want to end your life
you'd be gone by now
its just a cop out
you cant pull through
you dont know what to do
you analyze it
but you cant see straight
you dont know what to think
dont blaim your shit on me
its getting older these days
just keep on passing by
please be alone
so close your eyes
and think of your lies
behind the wall innocence lost
think of family
and think of your friends
think about all these thoughts will be gone when your dead, dead
no one that
you care for
cause you dont care
its not worth it
cant think straight
so take your pill
and stop whining
so close your eyes
and think of your lies
behind the wall
of innocence lost
think of family
and think of your friends
think about all these thoughts will be gone when your dead dead
always feel discomfort
always feel alone well who cares about it
cant find a
good reason
to stay here
so stop whining
so close your eyes
and think of your lies
behind the wall
of innocence lost
think of family
and think of your friends
think about all these thoughts will be gone
if you really did
want to end your life
you'd be gone by now
its just a cop out
you cant pull through
you dont know what to do
you analyze it
but you cant see straight
you dont know what to think
dont blaim your shit on me
its getting older these days
just keep on passing by
please be alone
so close your eyes
and think of your lies
behind the wall innocence lost
think of family
and think of your friends
think about all these thoughts will be gone when your dead, dead

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
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.
this song reminds me of punk e because its about an obnoxious person who wants attention. maybe they should write a song about horrid spellers, and people who are unaware of what ADD is... then it could be about you, cady cake.
