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.

if i had the world to make a day for you
i'd fill each hour with praises and shower you
if i held the sun inside my hands
i'd shine it bright inside your heart
and i'd turn my praise and focus to the thought of you
and stand you there
a statue in my soul forever
i dreamed i saw you dancing and i joined you there
and spun we did in the moon's warm light
know I dreamed that they take away everything that you held close and sorrowful for
I will love you like no man can and we will dance at the ide of love
I'll take the moon I'll take the sun from the starry sky
and decorate your nights with light and shadow like no other can, bright
I will dream of stealing you from all the things that bother and hurt you
you my love and only love alone
If I could make another day for you
and shadows taken all of you, and shadows taken all of you
and I can see my heart beat louder and my face grow warm
each time you stand by me my only love, ray on me
so if you your man and family do remember this the time we only caught short view
of each other while in some it shine
I will rake in each day and sell it to you
and sell it to you and sell it to you my love
no captain but you my love
no king but you
if i had the world to make a day for you
i'd fill each hour with praises and shower you
if i held the sun inside my hands
i'd shine it bright inside your heart
and i'd turn my praise and focus to the thought of you
and stand you there
a statue in my soul forever
i dreamed i saw you dancing and i joined you there
and spun we did in the moon's warm light
know I dreamed that they take away everything that you held close and sorrowful for
I will love you like no man can and we will dance at the ide of love
I'll take the moon I'll take the sun from the starry sky
and decorate your nights with light and shadow like no other can, bright
I will dream of stealing you from all the things that bother and hurt you
you my love and only love alone
If I could make another day for you
and shadows taken all of you, and shadows taken all of you
and I can see my heart beat louder and my face grow warm
each time you stand by me my only love, ray on me
so if you your man and family do remember this the time we only caught short view
of each other while in some it shine
I will rake in each day and sell it to you
and sell it to you and sell it to you my love
no captain but you my love
no king but you

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.

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is absolutely gorgeous. It was played during one of the Dave and Tim tours and there are more lyrics a dmbalmanac.com if you're interested.
This song seems to be about a deep and devoted love for someone. The music is almost as pretty as the words :)
