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.
And like a brand new trend,
You’ll be my new girlfriend
We’ll make you back before your brothers even know you left
And every song I sing
Will be your favorite thing
I wrote this one for you
Why aren’t you singing?
We’ll get in my new car
I’ll be a movie star
And I’ll break your heart
Then you fall apart
But I don’t care at all
Who you really are
And when we’re done you get the fuck out of my car
I never told you to
I never think about you
I never holded you
I forget how to
I never cared about you
I never saw that in you
I never loved you
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
x2
(C'mon x3)
This is getting really scary for me
Baby this is how you tell me
Hear you loud and clearly that you really love me
Baby, you’re in love now
And now we’re dug out
And then I’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
I’d stop it if I could
But I don’t think I would
I had no idea
I could look so good
And something’s telling me
Predictability
Hang on, ‘cause I’m a time bomb baby
And we will make it through
If you want to
I’ll get a new tattoo
That says ‘I love you’
And when I find someone new
What am I gonna do?
I’ll just change the name
To what better suits you
I never told you to
I never think about you
I never holded you
I forget how to
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
x2
(C'mon x3)
This is getting really scary for me
Baby this is how you tell me
Hear you loud and clearly that you really love me
Baby, you’re in love now
And now we’re dug out
And then I’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
I'm sick of running from you honey
What are you gonna do?
She said don't make a move
You’ll make the six o’clock news
x2
[???]
You better pull the fucking trigger
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down

This is getting really scary for me
Baby this is how you tell me
Hear you loud and clearly that you really love me

Baby’s got your gun out
Baby, you’re in love now

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
Silent Planet
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
