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 never saw whatever it was
That came and hit me from behind
Then I awoke enraged and confused
How could I have been so blind
Life's escaping, don't pretend
Judgement comes, but who knows when
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
Blazing through life at the speed of sound
Don't stop to look at the signs
Suddenly everything crashes around you
When we forget, life reminds
Clock is running, falling sand
Time is slipping through your hands
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
It's too late
Blunt force trauma
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
That came and hit me from behind
Then I awoke enraged and confused
How could I have been so blind
Life's escaping, don't pretend
Judgement comes, but who knows when
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
Blazing through life at the speed of sound
Don't stop to look at the signs
Suddenly everything crashes around you
When we forget, life reminds
Clock is running, falling sand
Time is slipping through your hands
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
It's too late
Blunt force trauma
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
When I first listened to this song I didn't have an idea of what it could be about, but after seeing the lyrics It sounds like a song about death.
"Blazing through life at the speed of sound Don't stop to look at the signs Suddenly everything crashes around you When we forget, life reminds"
"Instinct is to deny Logic does not apply In time we learn, but it's too late"
Sorry if I sound a little morbid, but death can spring on anyone at any given time. People just go through life without thinking about death. They just assume it won't ever happen to them and put it in the back of their minds. Usually if people don't care about death they'll do dumb shit and forget about their goals, but it finally becomes a reality to them, it's usually to late for them to change. People are wasting the precious time they get to be alive, and they don't even realize it.
