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.
Yound and wasted look at me now,
I'm the kind of California
Straight out of Tennessee
C'mon baby crash on my couch,
You''ve got that Hollywood nosebleed
You've got that pedigree
But when the seasons change
That's when I'll catch that plane and go
Back to the middle, I'm gonna be high
Back to the middle when I've had enough I will fly
Back to the middle, passengers please stand by
Back to the middle it's a miracle I've escaped alive
In the thick thick electric air
There's a cloud of smoke ascending
Blocking the city lights
Fast and faded, dead in Times Square
I'm not looking for a heartache
I gotta catch a flight
Because the weathers cold,
This scene is getting old
In the freeze I'm dreaming of the palm trees
On the beat I scheme about the city
Why should I go back?
I'm the kind of California
Straight out of Tennessee
C'mon baby crash on my couch,
You''ve got that Hollywood nosebleed
You've got that pedigree
But when the seasons change
That's when I'll catch that plane and go
Back to the middle, I'm gonna be high
Back to the middle when I've had enough I will fly
Back to the middle, passengers please stand by
Back to the middle it's a miracle I've escaped alive
In the thick thick electric air
There's a cloud of smoke ascending
Blocking the city lights
Fast and faded, dead in Times Square
I'm not looking for a heartache
I gotta catch a flight
Because the weathers cold,
This scene is getting old
In the freeze I'm dreaming of the palm trees
On the beat I scheme about the city
Why should I go back?

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”

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.
