Oh, I was thinking atmosphere in the music. Lyrically I think that scene painting is there, but the music almost always hurries things along so you don't get to linger, Even songs like The End feel a bit rushed compared to its peers.
I was initially talking about the lyrics. But the more we talked about it the more I realized I was wrong. That's the trouble with thinking out loud via keyboard.
yeah, Amongst The Waves too. It feel more like Ed talking about himself instead of someone telling a story, but still lots of good moments.
And once outside the undertow Just you and me, and nothing more
Thats a great one.
Fuck yes! I love that line. It might be the most romantic thing Ed's written.
yeah, its super good. I like how ATW goes from something romantic to also, what it seems, a reflexion of time..
Totally. I know some balk at the "religious" imagery but I love the twist Ed puts on it by saying "I can feel like I have a soul that has been saved." As an atheist that line has always been really moving and powerful for me. Because there are so many things in life that do replicate or duplicate or replace that religious feeling but are secularly sacred. Ed really nailed that and I really feel it every time I listen to the song.
He scared himself, into a trance ducking down rivers, secretly He floated out, into the ocean of his worst dream, of his rough sea? of all the men he could trust he was not one of them, always hurting himself this scars and seams?, the wounds are tone whatever time had healed, it's still too cold A life washed away, like words in the sand and when the high tide came, so went his plan a troubled past, a troubled future a troubled way leaning on a bar stool when strobelight stop, he finally saw navigation towards a brand new course but to himself the memory clear cold confession only, that only he could hear
He let himself scream, he let himself cry let himself reach the other side there was on christ, there was no cross just forgiveness, allowed himself accepted the past, then set it free oh and it ran off like an animal with ease he holds the bruise?, he holds their star in his pure arms, in his clear heart He's safe now, he's back in her breast he saw his path, and changed it, chased it, at last
