This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Just as a bleeding wound dries
I found a road and left home
And as the mountain is high
I took Your tears and went on
Tears sing for sleep
But lonely nights weep
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
And I'll change to see You
Remembering every disguise
I found a way to lead on
Just as my heart has run dry
With blood and bone, I miss home
Tears sing for sleep
But lonely nights weep
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
Falling asleep again, falling asleep again
Falling asleep again
Just as a bleeding wound dries
I took your tears and went on
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
Falling asleep again, falling asleep again
Falling asleep again, falling asleep
I found a road and left home
And as the mountain is high
I took Your tears and went on
Tears sing for sleep
But lonely nights weep
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
And I'll change to see You
Remembering every disguise
I found a way to lead on
Just as my heart has run dry
With blood and bone, I miss home
Tears sing for sleep
But lonely nights weep
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
Falling asleep again, falling asleep again
Falling asleep again
Just as a bleeding wound dries
I took your tears and went on
You know my heart is falling asleep
And You'd paint the sky to see me believe You
And I know my heart has fallen asleep
And You'll still remain and I'll change to see You
Falling asleep again, falling asleep again
Falling asleep again, falling asleep

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.
"Just as a bleeding wound dries I found a road, and left home"
Perhaps this pertains to leaving your home when you're old enough?
"And as the mountain is high I took your tears and went on"
Maybe this is the friends and family being sad about them leaving.
"You know my heart is falling asleep And you'd paint the sky, to see me believe you And I know my heart has fallen asleep And you'll still remain, and I'll change to see you"
A person is grieving about leaving their home, but won't admit it. But the Lord is always with them, even if they have to leave other loved ones behind. "Remembering every disguise I found a way to lead on Just as my heart has run dry With blood and bone I miss home"
Self explanitory if my general assumption about the song is correct. The "falling alseep" part may be about closing their heart to everyone as a pat of thei grieving... I love this song. Brilliantly sung...
There isn't another album quite like this. I think "home" is in place of Fellowship with God.
I can relate to this song. It's like when your heart falls asleep and you no longer abide in God's Presence. You still go through the motions, but without actually allowing God's heart to reach yours.
You realize it's happening, but you don't really do anything about it. You become complacent with where you are. The line "And you'd paint the sky, to see me believe you," is so amazing. Mainly because God has already painted the sky, yet we fail to see God in his majestic creation.
He also notes in the song "And you'll still remain, and I'll change to see you." It's the statement we either profess with our mouth or our hearts. We know that God never changes his stance, so we are the ones that have to change. So we say "I'll change when I'm ready."
These songs really speak to me. They are sort of my testimony.
