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.
Hear my cry, my face is numb
Hear my cry, my legs won't run
Hear my cry, I'm ripping at the seems
Hear my cry, if only I could scream
I can taste it, an aching inside
I can taste it, the offspring of pride
I can taste it, I'm drowning in a flood
I can taste it, and it tastes like blood
[Chorus]
Hear my cry when I call your name
I'd give my life to touch your flame
Breathe in me, I'm free
Hear my cry, I'm deep in debt
Hear my cry, in deep regret
Hear my cry, someone save me from me
Hear my cry, and give me back sanity
[Chorus]
You have brought me to my knees
And you have danced in all my dreams
You have stepped through time and space
And in my need you kissed my face
Hear my cry, my legs won't run
Hear my cry, I'm ripping at the seems
Hear my cry, if only I could scream
I can taste it, an aching inside
I can taste it, the offspring of pride
I can taste it, I'm drowning in a flood
I can taste it, and it tastes like blood
[Chorus]
Hear my cry when I call your name
I'd give my life to touch your flame
Breathe in me, I'm free
Hear my cry, I'm deep in debt
Hear my cry, in deep regret
Hear my cry, someone save me from me
Hear my cry, and give me back sanity
[Chorus]
You have brought me to my knees
And you have danced in all my dreams
You have stepped through time and space
And in my need you kissed my face

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.
To me sounds like someone eagerly trying to cry out to the Lord. He will hear you though - He promises.
