kill the lights

hello ladies and gentleman,
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
you're in time to see me wrestle with my consience
and staring in the si-si-si-silence

you see I came to save the stage,
I hope I'm not too late
passion called from back behind the curtain screaming,
"sonny this is urgent"

fill these 50 persons with a purpose,
but don't just give it away
inspiration isn't cheap these days,
you better make them earn it

you better make them earn it, make them earn it!
you better make them earn it, make them earn it!

hello ladies and gentleman,
I'm glad you've graced me with your presence
you're in time to see me wrestle with my consience
and staring in the si-si-si-silence

you see I came to save the stage,
I hope I'm not too late
passion called from back behind the curtain screaming,
"sonny this is urgent"

how do I address the letter to my generation?
sonny she said, "save yourself the postage"
how do I address a letter to my generation?
sonny she said, "sing it in person."

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”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
