1) are an American indie rock group, originating in the city of Lakeland, Florida. Originally formed from Ev Angel in 2000 by singer Aaron Marsh (who also plays the guitar, mellotron, organ, and piano) with his friend, bassist and backup singer James Likeness and Thomas Blair on guitar. Guitarists Bryan Laurenson (who took the place of Blair in 2002), and his brother Stephen (joined in late 2007), along with drummer Jon Bucklew (who took the place of Rusty Fuller, who was replaced after appearing on 2003's rookie full-length, Beneath Medicine Tree) give the band an original feel that makes Copeland what they are. In 2002, they signed a record deal with independent label The Militia Group and released their debut album Beneath Medicine Tree a year later. They operate out of Atlanta, Georgia and have a calm, pop-rocky sound. In 2004, 2005, and 2006 they performed at the annual Cornerstone Florida Festival in Orlando, Florida. In Motion, Copeland's second full length CD, was released on March 22, 2005. Eat, Sleep, Repeat, Copeland's third full length album, was released on October 31, 2006. Major label Columbia Records signed the band in late 2006.
Beneath Medicine Tree features a heavy medical theme. Aaron Marsh admits that the lyrics in this album were inspired by the hospitalisation of his girlfriend and the death of his grandmother. The album booklet includes photographs by James Likeness of hospital scenes.
On November 20, 2007 Copeland released Dressed Up & in Line a B-Sides and fourth full length album.
Lead singer Aaron Marsh has lent his voice to other bands such as Underoath, on their album They're Only Chasing Safety, Anberlin on Cities, Lydia on their album Illuminate, and Sleeping With Sirens – Let Love Bleed Red. In 2017, Marsh released a full length album in collaboration with Ivan Ives: "Rabbit In The Snare" by The Lulls in Traffic.
On July 18, 2007 James Likeness made public his decision to no longer be a part of Copeland. He cited pursuing a career as a graphic designer (a field in which he has a college degree) as a chief reason in his decision to leave the band.
Copeland released their new full-length album entitled "You Are My Sunshine" on October 14th, 2008. The release strays a good distance from the more pop themed "Eat, Sleep, Repeat" in that it showcases slower songs laced with falsetto and synth.
On October 29, 2009 the band announced that it was breaking up. They announced a final farewell tour for 2010 and left open the possibility of recording a final album as well.
In March 2014, the band announced its reunion and the imminent release of a new album, entitled Ixora.

Good Morning Fire Eater
Copeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day is done and everyone's gone now.
You can taste the fire and hold every song.
The world has moved.
Be quick enough not to miss it now.
So wake up your eyes and darling, you smile.
[Chorus]
Dear, do you know?
I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds.
Wake up your eyes.
Darling it's time to hope that forever they'll dry out.
It never takes long and every thing's gone.
I only knew her beauty won't fade out.
Back on your side, darling you lie, to yourself.
[Chorus]
Cause it's no good if you can't have it all.
I'd give it back but I never stole the first part.
And it always goes when you need it most,
The kindest love is still bleeding from the last shot.
The song "Good Morning Fire Eater" by Copeland is a melancholic and introspective piece that deals with the difficulties of moving on after a heartbreak. The song seems to be addressed to a person who is struggling to let go of their past and is stuck in a cycle of self-pity and regret. The opening lines "Wake up your eyes and darling, you smile" suggest that the singer is trying to encourage the person to snap out of their sadness and embrace life once again. However, the line "The day is done and everyone's gone now" indicates that the person might be dwelling on past memories and has isolated themselves from the world.
The lyrics "You can taste the fire and hold every song" seems to suggest that the person is still holding onto the pain and sadness of their past, and is using it as a source of inspiration. The line "The world has moved. Be quick enough not to miss it now" serves as a warning to the person to not get left behind and to embrace change in order to move on.
The chorus "I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds. Dear, do you know? I'm afraid you've stopped to lick your wounds" emphasizes the idea that the person is still mired in their old wounds and has stopped trying to heal. The lyrics "Cause it's no good if you can't have it all. I'd give it back, but I never stole the first part" reinforces the idea that the person might be feeling resentful towards their past and is unable to let go.
Overall, "Good Morning Fire Eater" is a poignant and emotive song that deals with the complex emotions of heartbreak and moving on.
