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.
All the birds sing words
And the flowers croon
In the tiki, tiki, tiki room
Cha chagachuka, cha chagachuka
Cha chagachuka, cha chagachuka
Cha chagachuka, cha chagachuka
Cha chagachuka, cha chagachuka
Cha chagachuka, tiki room
Cha chagachuka, cha chagachuka
Cha chagachuka, cha chagachuka

The bird of paradise is an elegant bird
It likes to been seen and loves to be heard
Most little birdies will fly away
But the tiki room birds are here everyday
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room

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.

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.
So deep.
So poignant.
So moving.
Words defy me. Oh, Hilary, my goddess of description and sincere crooning, will you ever relent this fragile grip your hands have on my heart?
Just kidding, this sucks. :D
o.o Why is this even listed by her? She didn't even write it, did she?
But yeah -agrees with avarchiel- It sucks. :D
I don't get this song
tiki tiki room? the the fuck?
hilary duff, please shoot yourself.
i mean WHAT the fuck..
die, hilary!
Those are some pretty darn good lyrics, folks...
But seriously, I think Hilary Duff is a lovely young girl.
-Katie. xoxo.
i agree who the fuck listens to this shit
THIS ISNT HER SONG, ITS A DISNEY SONG, SHE DIDNT WRITE IT.....just like any other song
oh whats this let me see!? oh the 1000th shitty song that "she wrote" ha ha ha this is a joke and if its not it should be!
Hahaha. I concur. This is so pathetic, I'm almost starting to feel bad for Hilary. She should just drop outta the music business, and do us all a favor.
