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.
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Take a gun
Or how you say
That's no way
To behave
But just as long you need the gear
So sing a song that doesn't sin
It grows
Hey, you know
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last to get away
To some another day
Or do we know
Well we know
Doesn't seem to be complete
Are we
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
'Cause all out of song
I got it down wrong
I see myself to get
An all-seeing door now
Can you take us in
The part that comin' on
The coldest man doesn't sing your song
We go to the car
I see you walk to the far
And when you get there do you see
You fit the last you need on me
'Cause we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Yeah we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Take a gun
Or how you say
That's no way
To behave
But just as long you need the gear
So sing a song that doesn't sin
It grows
Hey, you know
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last to get away
To some another day
Or do we know
Well we know
Doesn't seem to be complete
Are we
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
'Cause all out of song
I got it down wrong
I see myself to get
An all-seeing door now
Can you take us in
The part that comin' on
The coldest man doesn't sing your song
We go to the car
I see you walk to the far
And when you get there do you see
You fit the last you need on me
'Cause we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Yeah we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls

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.
in the beginning of the song they ask if they are indeed the last living souls... and by the end of the song.. the seem to confirm that they are the "last living souls"
I take it as a means of giving up and escape from those around you that have no soul (well maybe morally bankrupt is less damning).
"Sing a song that doesn't sin" is a favorite line of mine.. it's like telling one to live a life that doesn't lie
