Heilig ist der Geist der in mir fließt
Heilig ist mein Krieg der Blut vergießt
Ziehe ins gelobte Land
Gottes Schwert in meiner Hand.
Dann sind wir
Heilig! Heilig!
Doch heilig ist mir nichts auf dieser Welt!

English:

Holy is my spirit, which flows in me
Holy is my war, pouring blood

Holy!

Red rain on the earth… (3x)

Holy, is my journey into foreign land
Holy, to raise my hand
Holy, what my faith orders me
Holy, because my god wants it from me

Crossing blessed land
God’s sword in my hand
then we are Holy!
Holy
…but Holy was nothing for me in this world!

God (Holy!), Fate (Holy!), New (Holy!)

Holy…was nothing for us in this world

Red rain on the earth… (2x)

Holy, is my struggle in this war
Holy, uses everything for victory
and Holy is the father which loves me
Holy, all the sins forgiving me

Holy, the call after the sea of blood
Holy, sinks my head in God's fury
Holy, enemies dying by my arm
Holy, speaks the clergy in his madness

Holy is my homeland no more!

God (Holy!), Fate (Holy!), New (Holy!)

Holy… was nothing for us on this world

God (Holy!), Fate (Holy!), New (Holy!)

Holy…Red rain on the earth

Holy… (3x)

Holy is my homeland no more!

God (Holy!), Fate (Holy!), New (Holy!)

…but Holy was nothing for us in this world

God (Holy!), Fate (Holy!), New (Holy!)

Holy…Red rain on the earth

    My Interpretation

    Pretty obvious it's about a Crusader, who eventually realizes what he's fighting for has been corrupted.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
