This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The howl of artillery passes overhead
Trailing tongues of fire, spelling certain death
Counter battery bursts, raining down on positions
The steel inferno reaps it's deadly harvest
I walk among the corpses of the fallen
Fingers curled into claws of rigor mortis
The wall of fire creeping closer
An infernal crescendo that seems not to end
We left a trail of ten thousand dead
I still hear their screams in my head
Feel the caress of hot lead
Fighting a battle we can't win
Hot steel ripping through young flesh
Our numbers are growing thin
Nowhere to run nowhere to go
Wading through human remains
Comrades in pieces, friends cut to shreds
The violence of warfare we start to comprehend
Trailing tongues of fire, spelling certain death
Counter battery bursts, raining down on positions
The steel inferno reaps it's deadly harvest
I walk among the corpses of the fallen
Fingers curled into claws of rigor mortis
The wall of fire creeping closer
An infernal crescendo that seems not to end
We left a trail of ten thousand dead
I still hear their screams in my head
Feel the caress of hot lead
Fighting a battle we can't win
Hot steel ripping through young flesh
Our numbers are growing thin
Nowhere to run nowhere to go
Wading through human remains
Comrades in pieces, friends cut to shreds
The violence of warfare we start to comprehend

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
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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
