This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What you said, and what you meant
Didn't ever seem to meet
So negative in how you see
But who could change the way you think.
Pessimistically, you have trained your mind to think.
Life is down always down because you chained yourself to misery.
So look up, joy in,
begin to deepen.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
Others care for you, do you care for them as well?
I have learned that depression comes when our eyes are on ourselves.
Pessimistically you have trained your mind to think.
Life is down, always down because you chained yourself to misery.
So look up, joy in,
Begin to deepen.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
Things always work out you know it's fine
but somehow they get complex in our minds
I promise if we'd all serve humbly life would be all right
I know you'll see.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
Didn't ever seem to meet
So negative in how you see
But who could change the way you think.
Pessimistically, you have trained your mind to think.
Life is down always down because you chained yourself to misery.
So look up, joy in,
begin to deepen.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
Others care for you, do you care for them as well?
I have learned that depression comes when our eyes are on ourselves.
Pessimistically you have trained your mind to think.
Life is down, always down because you chained yourself to misery.
So look up, joy in,
Begin to deepen.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
Things always work out you know it's fine
but somehow they get complex in our minds
I promise if we'd all serve humbly life would be all right
I know you'll see.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.
To think things humbly, to lock up pride and throw away key.

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
This song is sick. I dunno what the lyrics mean i mean what the hell does lock up pride and throw away key mean? Well its really bad english if nothing. I think the entire song is about someone who isnt happy cuz hes just negative all the time. Hes goin through a tough time.
Tru dat about the negativity except there's a lot more to it. It's pretty much a bible lesson put to song. Live humbly, not pridefully or selfishly, and serve God. (I promise if we'd all serve humbly life would be all right)
Living pessimistically is such a horrible thing to do to oneself. It robs the life of the fun and joy. And I think Seth should be a psychiatrist because "...depression comes when our eyes are on ourselves" could not be more true.
Lock up pride, selfishness, and pessimism and through away the key.
