This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There's a wild thing in the woodshed
And it's keeping me awake at night
A devil in the closet
And a feeling I'd prefer to hide
He is religion
He won't hear me when I cry for help
He has a vision of me
But I am somebody else
We talk the pillow
There are times when I'm tied up to the fence
Only talking sense
There's a mirror lake before me
But I'm frozen when it's time to jump
It's like maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find
When independence comes
You steel my shadow
You make my blood run dry
We are true only when we talk the pillow
There are times when I'm tied up to the fence
Only talking sense
Did you suffer like a child
That's why you want to make me cry
You are afraid of me
That's why you're so unkind
You won't deny it
When your child is tied up to the fence
And I'm only talking sense
Lonely when we talk the pillow
And your child is messed up in the head
I'm only talking sense
And it's keeping me awake at night
A devil in the closet
And a feeling I'd prefer to hide
He is religion
He won't hear me when I cry for help
He has a vision of me
But I am somebody else
We talk the pillow
There are times when I'm tied up to the fence
Only talking sense
There's a mirror lake before me
But I'm frozen when it's time to jump
It's like maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find
When independence comes
You steel my shadow
You make my blood run dry
We are true only when we talk the pillow
There are times when I'm tied up to the fence
Only talking sense
Did you suffer like a child
That's why you want to make me cry
You are afraid of me
That's why you're so unkind
You won't deny it
When your child is tied up to the fence
And I'm only talking sense
Lonely when we talk the pillow
And your child is messed up in the head
I'm only talking sense

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
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
Neil and Tim have produced stunning songs together and this has to be one of the best.
For those not looking, this song will probably evade most as it is tucked away on a non-commercial brothers album of generally very experimental songs. What a shame.
Stunning, understated, deep, raw, musically brilliant and, as the last post said, honest.
It sounds to me like Neil is wrestling with voices from the past. They will always be a close part of him, but have perhaps damaged him in some way. This is a solemn self confession.
If you play guitar, tune 'G' down half a tone and work this one out using B minor (bar) and G minor (bar) shapes. It flows beautifully.
Perfection in every way.
