This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I sit at this table and I stare at my hands.
Everyday they go to look up,
Their more like my dads.
And I trace these veins that run up and down my arms.
From where I'm sitting, I trace sixty more years.
And I've learned to count on nothing,
Cause most times its all I've got.
And all I see is me, my roots are starting to ride.
All you wanna do is win when your losing.
You say you want some competition,
Well I'm not that strong.
Just put away your ladder, I'm happy where I am.
My fate seems clear to me man,
Its out of my hands.
And sometimes I feel like a genius, other times I feel like a fool.
My friends indulge me, but most times I think I know it all.
But mostly I feel like a little boy,
I'd rather feel pain than show fear.
I don't wanna make excuses..
But my horoscope said it would be a bad year.
Sometimes I see myself getting killed,
On one of these big scary streets.
And then I'd have nothing to live up to,
And no expectations to me.
All you wanna do is win when your losing.
You say you want some competition,
Well I'm not that strong.
Just put away your ladder, I'm happy where I am.
My fate seems clear to me man,
Its out of my hands.
Everyday they go to look up,
Their more like my dads.
And I trace these veins that run up and down my arms.
From where I'm sitting, I trace sixty more years.
And I've learned to count on nothing,
Cause most times its all I've got.
And all I see is me, my roots are starting to ride.
All you wanna do is win when your losing.
You say you want some competition,
Well I'm not that strong.
Just put away your ladder, I'm happy where I am.
My fate seems clear to me man,
Its out of my hands.
And sometimes I feel like a genius, other times I feel like a fool.
My friends indulge me, but most times I think I know it all.
But mostly I feel like a little boy,
I'd rather feel pain than show fear.
I don't wanna make excuses..
But my horoscope said it would be a bad year.
Sometimes I see myself getting killed,
On one of these big scary streets.
And then I'd have nothing to live up to,
And no expectations to me.
All you wanna do is win when your losing.
You say you want some competition,
Well I'm not that strong.
Just put away your ladder, I'm happy where I am.
My fate seems clear to me man,
Its out of my hands.

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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
Ed Sheeran
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.
