I'm not sure who's fooling who here
As I'm watching your decay
We both know you could deflate
A seven hurricane
Seems like you and your tribe
Decided you'd rewrite the law
Segregate the mind
From body and soul

[Chorus:]
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
Cause I can look your god
Right in the eye
You give me yours
I'll give you mine
You used to look my god
Right in the eye

I believe in defending
In what we once
Stood for
It seems in vogue
To be a closet
Misogynist homophobe

A change of course in
Our direction
A dash of truth
Spread thinly
Like a flag
On a popstar
On a Benzodiazapene

[Chorus]

Oh Zion please
Remove your glove
And dispel every
Trace
Of his spoken word
That has lodged
In my vortex

I'm not sure who's fooling who here
As I'm watching your decay
We both know you could deflate
A seven hurricane
You could have spared
Her - oh but no
Messiahs need
People dying in their
Name
You say "I ordered you a
Pancake"
You say "I ordered you a
Pancake"

    It is not uncommon in Catholic churches to have a Pancake/Communion breakfast with certain members of the congregation. If he's ordering her a Pancake he is forcing her to be a part of the group, making her submissive.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
