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 am the future
I am metaphor for war
I take my medicine as I'm praying on the floor
We see the future what's going behind our time
I'm synthesis in motion I am freedom and decline
Raise me to shine I cannot define my cracks
Wash me aside when my levees finally break
In opposition we are never free
When our cause becomes our slavery
The poet and the warrior
The future or the way we were
Stand down, rise up, we all know
The secret to the life we chose
So we are
I am not escaping from who I am
I am less than dead, reborn again
We all won't get turned away
All is forgiven when we pray
The poet and the warrior
The future or the way we were
Stand down rise up, we all know
The secret to the life you chose
Stand down rise up, we all know
Stand down rise up, we all know
I am metaphor for war
I take my medicine as I'm praying on the floor
We see the future what's going behind our time
I'm synthesis in motion I am freedom and decline
Raise me to shine I cannot define my cracks
Wash me aside when my levees finally break
In opposition we are never free
When our cause becomes our slavery
The poet and the warrior
The future or the way we were
Stand down, rise up, we all know
The secret to the life we chose
So we are
I am not escaping from who I am
I am less than dead, reborn again
We all won't get turned away
All is forgiven when we pray
The poet and the warrior
The future or the way we were
Stand down rise up, we all know
The secret to the life you chose
Stand down rise up, we all know
Stand down rise up, we all know

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Whoa, these lyrics are messed up in some crucial places. Here's how it should go:
I am the future I am metaphor for war I take my medicine as I'm praying on all fours We sit in fields of rust, Corinthian and time I'm synthesis in motion I am freedom and decline
Raise me to shine like an orchid from the cracks Wash me aside when my levees finally break In opposition we are never free When our cause becomes our slavery
The poet and the warrior The future or the way we were Stand and rise up, we all know The secret to the life we chose So we are
I am law to save me from from who I am I am love spent then reborn again We are orchid torn away All is forgiven when we pay
The poet and the warrior The future or the way we were Stand down rise up, we all know The secret to the life you chose Stand down rise up, we all know Stand down rise up, we all know
