This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There I knew you once, didn't I?
And the sound of that music traveled
To me from that orphan sky
And pulled it all in my vault
Love hide me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Thought I loved you once, didn't I?
But I wanted the fin, didn't I?
Thought it broke your heart, didn't I?
But that face in the dark wasn't mine
Love hold me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
For I loved you once, didn't I?
There, I loved you once, didn't I?
And the sound of that music traveled
To me from that orphan sky
And pulled it all in my vault
Love hide me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Thought I loved you once, didn't I?
But I wanted the fin, didn't I?
Thought it broke your heart, didn't I?
But that face in the dark wasn't mine
Love hold me away deep in this town and canopy of snow
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
Go, spin me around under the folding branches
Now, is not too late, heaven can wait another year or so
For I loved you once, didn't I?
There, I loved you once, didn't I?

Hayalperest
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.

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.
Amazing

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.
I think it sounds more like 'fame' than 'fin'. Anyway that would make more sense to me. I see it as a song written about a girl he onced loved but then he decided to sacrifice his relationship with her in order to focus on his career (could have been his move to England which she might not have been able to do). Now in retrospect he has decided that he does love her. The line 'spin me around under the folding branches' seems to be a beautiful metaphor for uncovering his feelings for her from back in his memories.
It goes much deeper than that though I think.
