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”
eyes are gouged, i cannot see
the mouth that's chewing chunks of me
been ripped apart from ass to head
fed on by the undead
your lips are colored red with gore
i'm bleeding out across the floor
i'm gonna die, i won't survive
but i'll be back alive
he preach-ed & bleed-ed
brain feed-ed's what the bible says
dismembered me with no memory
life, it just aint quite the same
when you are feasting on my brain
you've gone insane
now there's no pain
all that's left is afterbirth
together, we must roam the earth
blood is draining down my back
my brain's an embryonic sac
the chord strangling's umbilical
from sliced up guts you pulled
all of the guts under my heart
you chewed with teeth to tear-apart
the love is all gone from your eyes
your christ was hypnotized
he preach-ed & bleed-ed
brain feed-ed's what the bible says
dismembered me with no memory
life, it just aint quite the same
when you are feasting on my brain
you've gone insane
now there's no pain
all that's left is afterbirth
together, we must roam the earth
the mouth that's chewing chunks of me
been ripped apart from ass to head
fed on by the undead
your lips are colored red with gore
i'm bleeding out across the floor
i'm gonna die, i won't survive
but i'll be back alive
he preach-ed & bleed-ed
brain feed-ed's what the bible says
dismembered me with no memory
life, it just aint quite the same
when you are feasting on my brain
you've gone insane
now there's no pain
all that's left is afterbirth
together, we must roam the earth
blood is draining down my back
my brain's an embryonic sac
the chord strangling's umbilical
from sliced up guts you pulled
all of the guts under my heart
you chewed with teeth to tear-apart
the love is all gone from your eyes
your christ was hypnotized
he preach-ed & bleed-ed
brain feed-ed's what the bible says
dismembered me with no memory
life, it just aint quite the same
when you are feasting on my brain
you've gone insane
now there's no pain
all that's left is afterbirth
together, we must roam the earth

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.
Punchline

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
I believe this song is relaying a messege to not conform to the ideas of any faith. Instead live a life free of any expectations of morality, and find it within yourself rather than the preachings of another man. In the song faith is regarded as a evil thing that will destroy you eventually. Faith could trun you into a monster lacking any sense of humanity, leaving you to feed on and corrupt those who do not follow.
"dismembered me with no memory life, it just aint quite the same when you are feasting on my brain you've gone insane now there's no pain"
The victim is left without a memory of what life was like before he/she was converted, to reduce a relization of the evils within the church. Being attacked by a zombie eating away at what you used to value within your mind makes life dull. the zombie has ravaged through mind and soul of the person leaving them numb to anything else.
paraphrased from Shoplifting From American Apparel:
"This is our attempt at a non-political song. This song is called 'Zombie Christ.' It's about how Jesus was a zombie. That's what he was, he died and came back to life."
