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.
Dear my friend
空を見なよ 今僕らは同じ空を見てんだ
遠く離れてても 同じ地球 同じ世代
海と空の様に僕達もどこか繋がってられたなら
親愛なる君へ (ディア マイ フレンド)
この雲を辿っていけば君の街へ続いてるのかな
Say "Hello"
君の名前を大声で空に叫んでみたんだ
本当は会いたくて でも 夢でさえ会えなくて
あの鳥の様に大空をもしも自由に飛べたなら どんなに
ただ 僕には翼がないけれど
代わりにこの手で君を抱きしめられるから
そう強く 鳥達も羨むくらいに
親愛なる君へ (ディア マイ フレンド)
この雲に掴まっていれば君の元へ運んでくれるかな
そしてまたいつか会えたなら今度はしっかりと手を握って
もう はぐれない様に
Like a bird, like a wind
マジ乱文多謝!

@[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.

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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 is so beautiful.
I love Miyavi-Sama's lyrics. :]
They always make me smile.
I love this song. This is a good one if you are far away from a loved one, or your off to visit them. i live pretty far away from my grandparents, so I sent them the link for this video and they loved it.
Umm, if anyone can, try to get translations for "Dear from ...xxx" from the Gagaku album. I really want to know what hes saying because it sounds so peaceful and melodic.
