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.
palced in sideways
i dont need this
paint me outer space
shape in planets
until its right there
i wont feel good
inside me
tell them the blind now see fine
i already come with a mess
that you left me on
keeps drinks coming
until i feel good
helps me to feel safe
while im driving
with my lights off
i dont feel good inside me
tell them the blind now want to drive
i dont need this
paint me outer space
shape in planets
until its right there
i wont feel good
inside me
tell them the blind now see fine
i already come with a mess
that you left me on
keeps drinks coming
until i feel good
helps me to feel safe
while im driving
with my lights off
i dont feel good inside me
tell them the blind now want to drive

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Gazed in sideway I dont need them Pay me out to Speaking in panic Till it's right there I wont feel good inside me Tell them the blind now see fine I already come with the mess That you left me on Keep drinks coming Till I feel good Helps me to feel safe while im driving With my lights off I don't feel good inside me Tell them the blind now want to drive Tell me I feel fine
I think this song's about a really messed up guy who's been jaded all his life. He just lost everything he had and can now see what the world around him is really like, and is about to do something crazy like driving drunk/blind because he has nothing left to lose.
But that's me :).
