This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
It's nice to see you again.
I love what you've done with your hair,
how it falls on your cheeks.
Your eyes reflect one-thousand bleeding hearts.
You ask me why I'm scared.
Does it seem fair?
This ordinary voice, these ordinary features,
insist on your interest. You insist on your interest.
Are you interested?
Wait just one minute before you leave.
I won't let you walk away.
And I, and i know what you're thinking before you speak.
These sweet charms. Are not working.
Am I not the one that hurts?
Am I not the one that bleeds?
these timely conversations cover all familiar themes.
Am I not the one that hurts?
Am I not the one that bleeds?
These timely discussions don't accomplish anything.
And i'd love to believe you.
and i'm dying with concern.
but we're not getting better.
and our lives are getting worse.
is it too much to ask for a girl to see the difference?
are we wasting time?
are we wasting time?
am i wasting time?
hope you say
"wait just one minute before you leave,
i wont let you walk away"
and i, and i know what you're thinking before you speak.
these sweet charms are not working.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these boring conversations cover all familiar themes.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these timely discussions.
they dont accomplish anything.
am i not the one that bleeds?
these boring conversations cover all familiar themes.

Little Feat
Little Feat
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”

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.

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.
Midnight

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
i can't believe no one has commented on this one yet. oh well, i'm first. hah. this is my favorite RM song... he is so earnest. i can definatly relate to his feelings of the "am i not the one that hurts.." line. okay, i;ve said enough..
