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.
I hate waking up it means that I have to die again tonight
35 years old and I'm still sleeping outside
Yeah I think I know your face I don't want to to know your name
I won't give in I'm not like that
I won't give in
You say it's Christmas Eve that don't mean nothing to me
Just another fucked up day just another waste of time
You wonder why I live like this man you just won't understand
I won't give in I'm not like that
Yeah, I won't give in
You smart ass college fuck
Act like you think you're tough
I was just like you
More pride than you could know
Think you pity me
I'll kick your ass if you pity me
I won't give in I'm not like that
No, I won't give in to you
Just go away
You college boy act like you think you're tall
I won't give in I'm not like that
No, I won't give in
35 years old and I'm still sleeping outside
Yeah I think I know your face I don't want to to know your name
I won't give in I'm not like that
I won't give in
You say it's Christmas Eve that don't mean nothing to me
Just another fucked up day just another waste of time
You wonder why I live like this man you just won't understand
I won't give in I'm not like that
Yeah, I won't give in
You smart ass college fuck
Act like you think you're tough
I was just like you
More pride than you could know
Think you pity me
I'll kick your ass if you pity me
I won't give in I'm not like that
No, I won't give in to you
Just go away
You college boy act like you think you're tall
I won't give in I'm not like that
No, I won't give in

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i love this song. and you're right. i believe this is in the view of a guy..not necisarrily homeless..but in trouble. and i believe that he has more pride than most people realize. they don't give him enough credit, but he'll show them all someday.
