This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
Whoa, yeah
(Aim, shoot, kill your leaders)
(Aim, kill them all)
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
(Go)
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
Whoa, yeah
(Aim, shoot, kill your leaders)
(Aim, kill them all)
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
(Go)

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Something I've noticed that seems very creative is the sound they make at one point in the song; let me try to describe where it is.
After the first "Assassin is born," Matt goes into a "Woaahhhhh" part, and then they build up the tension until finally you hear a "CHING!!" sound, almost like two blades colliding. Now, this is just my personal interpretation, but to me that symbolizes the eventual climax in the conflict between both parties: the assassin striking, or the beginning of violence. Almost as cool is the fact that they had a few smaller, similar sound effects in the background after that one climactic strike, perhaps symbolizing the call to action working and others taking part in the revolution. I then believe the rest of the song has to do with what the revolutionary(s) are thinking as they continue their fight; the ideas drilled into their mind so that they only focus on those thoughts.
Unfortunately, my Windows Media Player counts down the time in the song instead of counting up, so the only thing I can tell you as far as an exact time is that it happened when it said there was 1:24 left. I hope the description helps, though. ^_^
