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”
Life is easier when one of us is dead
Hey
I will wait a year
No one starts to hear an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll sleep when we wanna
Don't tell your mother
We'll leave when we
We'll leave when we wanna
And I have dreamed about it
Now I read about it
And I can't grieve about it
And I can't hey
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
It's an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll leave when we wanna
Look at your mother
Is that who ya
Is that who ya wanna?
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
And in not too long, won't she start screaming?
What a proud old man, what was she thinking?
I hear her voice sometimes, when I've been dreaming
Tell my lady here what I was dreaming
And in not too long, what was I thinking?
What a proud old man, won't she start screaming?
I hear voice sometimes, when I've been'
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!
I hear her voice sometimes
When I've been
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
Hey
I will wait a year
No one starts to hear an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll sleep when we wanna
Don't tell your mother
We'll leave when we
We'll leave when we wanna
And I have dreamed about it
Now I read about it
And I can't grieve about it
And I can't hey
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
It's an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll leave when we wanna
Look at your mother

Is that who ya wanna?
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
And in not too long, won't she start screaming?
What a proud old man, what was she thinking?

And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!

Tell my lady here what I was drinking
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!

When I've been
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down

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.
