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.
Don't stop here
And don't quit now
Your life may be
The road that leads you to me
And all that I've been through
Was the road that led me to you
You have your health
You have me
And I have my health
We have we
We have each other
We have anywhere right in our mind
We have anywhere right in our hands
We have anywhere right in our lungs
We have anywhere right at the tip of our tongue
You say the word
And it's what we'll do
You love me
And I love you
Don't you ever stop
Exploring our love
The love in our hearts
And the love that you'll find in my arms
We have anywhere right in our mind
We have anywhere right in our hands
We have anywhere right in our eyes
We have anywhere right behind your smile
Your smile...oh what a smile!
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
So take your time
Exploring those dreams
Cause your dreams are oceans
And your days are streams
And don't quit now
Your life may be
The road that leads you to me
And all that I've been through
Was the road that led me to you
You have your health
You have me
And I have my health
We have we
We have each other
We have anywhere right in our mind
We have anywhere right in our hands
We have anywhere right in our lungs
We have anywhere right at the tip of our tongue
You say the word
And it's what we'll do
You love me
And I love you
Don't you ever stop
Exploring our love
The love in our hearts
And the love that you'll find in my arms
We have anywhere right in our mind
We have anywhere right in our hands
We have anywhere right in our eyes
We have anywhere right behind your smile
Your smile...oh what a smile!
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
You used to think that nothing was all right
But everything's all right now
So take your time
Exploring those dreams
Cause your dreams are oceans
And your days are streams

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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
I can't believe no one has commented on this song. It's the best Troubled Hubble Song in my opinion. I think it's about a couple that had some rough patches in the past, but he's trying to tell his other half that he's behind their relationship 100%, and they can do anything as long as they work together.
