Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Falling into digital code
To escape from the world
I used to know
Starving and struggling
Unhinged and unloved
We live through these devices
That entice us to numb
Choke on your breath
Look at the sky
Swallow your pride
Work 'til you die
System: Failure
Dystopian living
The machines are killing
Any semblance of being
No perfect persons
In an imperfect world
The users, the whores
Who programs these horrors?
In between the bricks
Watching, waiting, eyes are glued
Interrogate the city gates
The line's right in front of you
Escaping and erasing
Any sense of living loved
What we're chasing is fading
I refuse to give up
Choke on your breath
Look at the sky
Swallow your pride
Work 'til you die
System: Failure
Dystopian living
The machines are killing
Any semblance of being
No perfect persons
In an imperfect world
The users, the whores
Who programs these horrors?
Decipher the beauty
While the neon lights fade
The world has been dying
Hidden from our gaze
Black clouds of pollution
Leave you choking and dazed
There's no sense in hiding
Been digging our own grave
Tear down the smokestacks
And monuments made
The world keeps turning
But everything is burning
Tear down smokestacks
And monuments
Everything is burning
To escape from the world
I used to know
Starving and struggling
Unhinged and unloved
We live through these devices
That entice us to numb
Choke on your breath
Look at the sky
Swallow your pride
Work 'til you die
System: Failure
Dystopian living
The machines are killing
Any semblance of being
No perfect persons
In an imperfect world
The users, the whores
Who programs these horrors?
In between the bricks
Watching, waiting, eyes are glued
Interrogate the city gates
The line's right in front of you
Escaping and erasing
Any sense of living loved
What we're chasing is fading
I refuse to give up
Choke on your breath
Look at the sky
Swallow your pride
Work 'til you die
System: Failure
Dystopian living
The machines are killing
Any semblance of being
No perfect persons
In an imperfect world
The users, the whores
Who programs these horrors?
Decipher the beauty
While the neon lights fade
The world has been dying
Hidden from our gaze
Black clouds of pollution
Leave you choking and dazed
There's no sense in hiding
Been digging our own grave
Tear down the smokestacks
And monuments made
The world keeps turning
But everything is burning
Tear down smokestacks
And monuments
Everything is burning

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

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.
love it! lyrics are beautiful, however it's too mellow to pass for hard-core live material. it was hard for me to believe it was a live song when i first heard it, if not for ed's vocals. love where he goes' oh baby..' and yeah id agree. there's definitely sexual undertones in the song.
