This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
So child, we have to see this through
The choking has you foaming at the mouth
Our bodies convulsing on the floor
Like a fish out of water
The price of wanting more
Epilepsy seems
seems safe enough for me
It's alright girl, it's alright
Contagious, contagious as this seems
And girl, you're catching on to me
Shut down, shut down, break away
And this is slightly what it's meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
A pale smile struggles behind tears
While passion meets you striking at your face
Instantly we bottle our feelings
So tell me why are you crying
The price for wanting more
But then again it seems
You're safe enough for me
It's alright girl, it's alright
Contagious, contagious as this seems
And girl, you're catching on to me
Shut down, shut down, break away
And this is slightly what it's meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
What defines this man
What defines this man finding space in lovers' hands.
[Repeat: x5]
Is this what it seems to be?
Who said this lasts forever?
Who said this lasts forever
Who said this lasts forever
Contagious, contagious as this seems
And girl, you're catching on to me
Shut down, shut down, break away
And this is slightly what it's meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
Contagious, contagious
Contagious, contagious
Contagious (when our bodies align)
Contagious
The choking has you foaming at the mouth
Our bodies convulsing on the floor
Like a fish out of water
The price of wanting more
Epilepsy seems
seems safe enough for me
It's alright girl, it's alright
Contagious, contagious as this seems
And girl, you're catching on to me
Shut down, shut down, break away
And this is slightly what it's meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
A pale smile struggles behind tears
While passion meets you striking at your face
Instantly we bottle our feelings
So tell me why are you crying
The price for wanting more
But then again it seems
You're safe enough for me
It's alright girl, it's alright
Contagious, contagious as this seems
And girl, you're catching on to me
Shut down, shut down, break away
And this is slightly what it's meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
What defines this man
What defines this man finding space in lovers' hands.
[Repeat: x5]
Is this what it seems to be?
Who said this lasts forever?
Who said this lasts forever
Who said this lasts forever
Contagious, contagious as this seems
And girl, you're catching on to me
Shut down, shut down, break away
And this is slightly what it's meant to be
The perfect line, the perfect time
When our bodies align
Contagious, contagious
Contagious, contagious
Contagious (when our bodies align)
Contagious

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Awesome song, one of the better ones on the self-titled, by far.
Could be about a drug-related incident between two people, possibly a couple. ("Convulsing", "The price of wanting more"). Just an opinion, probably way off.

what defines this man finding space in lovers' hands is this what it seems to be: who said this lasts forever
Actually sounds like a relationship to me. Or at least that feeling you get when you start to like someone. "Who said this lasts forever." Their lyrics have definitely improved a lot since they started.
