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”
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightening are crashing and striking us down
Two people shipwrecked
Stranded alone
Praying for dry land to save our souls
Hurricane season just knocked us down
Emotional suicides running the ground
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightening are crashing and striking us
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in love's electric storm
Feels like our last chance to get out alive
Will we survive this treacherous night
Predators waiting circling around
Sky full of fireworks burn without sound
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightning are crashing and striking us
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in loves electric storm
Have we never been stronger?
Have we never been tighter?
But we're close to the wire again
Have we never been safer?
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightning are crashing and striking us down
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home
Tell me how can we find our way home
In love's electric storm
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightening are crashing and striking us down
Two people shipwrecked
Stranded alone
Praying for dry land to save our souls
Hurricane season just knocked us down
Emotional suicides running the ground
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightening are crashing and striking us
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in love's electric storm
Feels like our last chance to get out alive
Will we survive this treacherous night
Predators waiting circling around
Sky full of fireworks burn without sound
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightning are crashing and striking us
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home in loves electric storm
Have we never been stronger?
Have we never been tighter?
But we're close to the wire again
Have we never been safer?
Fighting for no reward
Cold in the rain I'm tossing and turning your words ever burning my heart
Love's an electric storm
Of pleasure and pain
Where thunder and lightning are crashing and striking us down
I won't give up never never
I won't be struck by the weather
Hold on when the wind's so strong
Tell me how can we find our way home
Tell me how can we find our way home
In love's electric storm

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical

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.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
To me, this song is about someone lamenting about a love that's suffering because of a lack of privacy "Predators waiting, circling around" = The media scuffle(s)
"Sky full of fireworks, burn without sound." = The cameras flash like fireworks, but the photos hurt her later on (burning without sound).
Maybe a bit far-out, but she was just breaking up with The Pou (Mark Philopoussis (spl?)) at the time... they had a bad break up, cos he cheated on her with Paris Hilton
