This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This is where the water becomes shallow
And nothing here is quite as deep
As you hoped it would be
You wish the lines were drawn a little clearer
The tides have turned
This drought will burn
And everything is falling out of place
And drying in the sun
Shriveling and shrinking
The hides are turning brown
Wrinkling and stinging
As you bury yourself
Deep in the dust
Of the sandiest grave you can find
It's a new desert life
To be reborn again
Out of glass and of sand
And you're glimmering and you are clear
This is where
The water is shallow and nothing is as deep
As you hoped it would be
And this drought will burn
And everything's falling, everything's falling
And everything's falling
Out of place
And you're glimmering and you are clear.
And nothing here is quite as deep
As you hoped it would be
You wish the lines were drawn a little clearer
The tides have turned
This drought will burn
And everything is falling out of place
And drying in the sun
Shriveling and shrinking
The hides are turning brown
Wrinkling and stinging
As you bury yourself
Deep in the dust
Of the sandiest grave you can find
It's a new desert life
To be reborn again
Out of glass and of sand
And you're glimmering and you are clear
This is where
The water is shallow and nothing is as deep
As you hoped it would be
And this drought will burn
And everything's falling, everything's falling
And everything's falling
Out of place
And you're glimmering and you are clear.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i dont think its relating to god. i think it's about a shallow partener who left them. i think this because i guess i am the shallow partener and i left a really good relationship for a goddamn desert. "the water is shallow and nothing is as deep as you hoped it would be" is seing that there is nothing behind a pretty face. expecting hte depth you had in your previous relationship with the current, then being horribly disappointed.
