You... you had a choice of life but decided to give in.
Exactly what you were suppose to be, you perfected so you could win.
Now your life's a textbook, a figure, a paragraph.
Striving to be the best, you mock the ones who come in last.
(You always) think yourself up, you're always on patrol.
(You always) think yourself up, your best friend's named control.
(Still laughing) You said you didn't say much.
(Still laughing) You said I think your out of touch.

[Pre-chorus]
It's right, it's wrong, somone's always telling me.
It's right, it's wrong, somone's always telling me.
It's right, it's wrong, somone's always telling me.
It's right, it's right, it's right, it's right, it's right, it's wrong.

[Chorus]
Caught up in a social cutshow,
Hit the lights so I can see.
(Caught up in what a lie.)

My stages, my stages are my steps.
Open to understanding, well if of nothing else.
(It's better) to sit half as long if it's on something that you made.
(It's better) to know yourself self-memory often fades.
Too many doubts, too many worries in your head.
Not ready to solve them your hanging by a thread.
(Still laughing) You said, you didn't say much.
(Still laughing) You said I think your out of touch.

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Pre-chorus]

Keep talking, we don't listen, we don't care.
Your stories fading, your stories fading.
It's too bad you're caught up, it's too bad you're in.
Celebrate your new life in the social class you're in.
And now you got new friends to follow yeah, and now you got better things to do yeah.
You better think about who you're gonna cut,
You better think about who you're gonna cut down this time.

You're cool, and everybody knows.
You're cool, and it shows.
You're caught in a cutshow, caught up in what a lie.

[Chorus]

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”

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.

Magical
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
