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.
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
You want to know why
I feel so horrified
I let my innocence die
You want to know why
I can't be pacified
You made me bury something
I won't be sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
You want to know why
It seems the passion has died
We've all been living this lie
You want to know why my
Will's been fortified
You made me hunger again
Good luck sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
I was too blinded to see
All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me
You want to know why
I feel so horrified
I let my innocence die
You want to know why
I can't be pacified
You made me bury something
I won't be sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made
Now I've been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You're no immortal, I won't let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man
You want to know why
It seems the passion has died
We've all been living this lie

Good luck sleeping tonight

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid

All my devotion betrayed

I was too blinded to see
How much you've stolen from me

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Oh and I believe in the first sung line it is still "All my devotion betrayed" not "have changed" I could be wrong though, just sounds that way to me.
