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”
Wake me up
I'm about to give it up
Hey hurry up
Lately it's been hard enough
Try to shut me up
When you know you should wish me luck
And you could beat me up
I'm heading for the top
Hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
Well hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
What a nice surprise
And a dress that's black and tight
I wanna see the light
That takes me through the night
You beat me black and blue
But I can see through you
You know it's up to you
And I can't believe it's true
Hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
Well hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
Hit me, hit me hard!
Hit me hard
Hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me harder!
I'm about to give it up
Hey hurry up
Lately it's been hard enough
Try to shut me up
When you know you should wish me luck
And you could beat me up
I'm heading for the top
Hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
Well hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
What a nice surprise
And a dress that's black and tight
I wanna see the light
That takes me through the night
You beat me black and blue
But I can see through you
You know it's up to you
And I can't believe it's true
Hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
Well hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me!
Hit me, hit me hard!
Hit me hard
Hit me hard
Hit me right between the eyes
I wanna see the stars
Hit me, hit me harder!

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
omg. the singer (maja, is it?) has just about the sexiest voice ever! I'm addicted to this song...
as to the meaning, I agree with emo...it's a taunt. This other person wants to bring her down and she's saying "Bring it. I want to see if you can make me see lights..."
Idk...I'm not usually sure about the meanings of lyrics but I'm positive that that's what this song is about.
