Practical, you are not
Break the ice with a cotton swab
A fever that cools us all
Handshake's a contact sport
No one was waiting to throw out the pilot
We float on the back of the winds that you send us
Another tomorrow
Shedding the shade we made yesterday
Disguised as the lightning
Dissolving all of the thunder there
Appeasing our monsters
Under the acrylic sky
Another tomorrow
Another tomorrow
Grab my hand, here comes the crash
I live for the strong impact
That renders both our airbags
Takes every letter you send
Don't fold if you're made to bend
Rekindle the feud again
No one was waiting to throw out the pilot
We float on the back of the winds that you send us
Another tomorrow
Shedding the shade we made yesterday
Disguised as the lightning
Dissolving all of the thunder there
Appeasing our monsters
Under the acrylic sky
Another tomorrow
(Did you recognize your next-door neighbor today? Sure)
String up your harp, play like today will last five minutes
This won't take long - sing us a song that stops the silence
String up your harp, play like today will last five minutes
This won't take long - sing us a song that stops the silence
Another tomorrow
Shedding the shade we made yesterday
Disguised as the lightning
Dissolving all of the thunder there
Appeasing our monsters

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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 is about the atomic bombings of Japan in WW2, which has been mentioned before. But what I haven't seen mentioned is "shedding the shade we made yesterday" as more proof of this. When a nuclear weapon is detonated the shadows it creates are burned into whatever surface they are on, so you quite literally have to shed off the shadows made days before afterwards.
