This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If these walls had words
I'd fear the things they'd say when I'm not around. Crashing image, painting me failure.
Because I've sold myself a slave.
A slave to a cause that holds no end... and still I am nothing short of being broken hearted, thieving wings from innocence departed.
Locking eyes with hopes I just cant kill, staring at shoes that I may never fill.
My wish, I wish, I'm wishing for the day when i can break these chains, and take to the sky. But now it seems my humanity is too much for me, I'm watching freedom pass me by.
We're told that life is learning, but all I'm learning is that life is full of holes.
We're told the past is burning, tides are turning, there is no place we cannot go.
Then why am I stuck here with one foot in heaven a foot in hell and a heart that's in between?
Stomach disgust, mourn inspiration lost.
It's all i have to rise up and stir the war inside of me. A fight that holds no end...
but I'm not dead, no I'm not dead.
I'd fear the things they'd say when I'm not around. Crashing image, painting me failure.
Because I've sold myself a slave.
A slave to a cause that holds no end... and still I am nothing short of being broken hearted, thieving wings from innocence departed.
Locking eyes with hopes I just cant kill, staring at shoes that I may never fill.
My wish, I wish, I'm wishing for the day when i can break these chains, and take to the sky. But now it seems my humanity is too much for me, I'm watching freedom pass me by.
We're told that life is learning, but all I'm learning is that life is full of holes.
We're told the past is burning, tides are turning, there is no place we cannot go.
Then why am I stuck here with one foot in heaven a foot in hell and a heart that's in between?
Stomach disgust, mourn inspiration lost.
It's all i have to rise up and stir the war inside of me. A fight that holds no end...
but I'm not dead, no I'm not dead.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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.
Anyone else feel that this song is about a soldier who regrets joining the military?
"Because I've sold myself a slave. A slave to a cause that holds no end..."
His humanity, his value of human life, is keeping him from performing his "duties" as a soldier, or at least causing serious cognitive dissonance.
"My wish, I wish, I'm wishing for the day when i can break these chains, and take to the sky. But now it seems my humanity is too much for me, I'm watching freedom pass me by."
Plus the title "Gun for Hire"
That's just what I got from it.
