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”
To the multi-story car park
With our friends
Drinking from a bottle
Of white lightning
On top of marks and sparks
Roof running
Smoking
Chronic
Hectic
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
We'll convene at mine 3PM to play Sega Megadrive Golden Axe and Sonic all day
Never Played It? (I'll Teach Ya)
Can't Hack It? (I'll Beat Ya)
Whilst Pendell's making rhymes in the corner with a litre of finest Scrumpy Jack,
Whilst PDEX pumps out the latest big club track
We'll take it to Justin's and hit his King Kong
Then we'll gather round the piano for a little sing song.
Oh if I could kidnap that feeling
The one that melts all fear's from your mind
I'd make no demands, no ransom.
'Cause I'd never set it free.
'Cause I'd never set it free.
Oh if I could kidnap that feeling
The one that melts all fear's from your mind
I'd make no demands, no ransom.
'Cause I'd never set it free.
'Cause I'd never set it free.
'Cause I'd never set it free.
All false Halcyon days
And Halcyon nights
Before we began to realize
That these aren't right.
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
With our friends
Drinking from a bottle
Of white lightning
On top of marks and sparks
Roof running
Smoking
Chronic
Hectic
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
And it seems that
Nothing now will ever change.
And it seems that
Were on our own again
We'll convene at mine 3PM to play Sega Megadrive Golden Axe and Sonic all day
Never Played It? (I'll Teach Ya)
Can't Hack It? (I'll Beat Ya)

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
the first verse is something to do with being in a park with your friends, which fits with the reference to drinking from a puddle of white lightening because thats a popular cheap cider that a lot of kids buy cause its so cheap and its part of british youth culture getting drunk in parks.
"and it seems like nothing now will ever change, and it seems like we're on our own again"
the speaking bit is something to do with sega megadrive and playing sonic all day, and making rhymes in the corner with a pint of the finest scrumpy jack, and the latest big club track. so hard to understand though.
this is definitely one of the best songs on the album though, such a great sound and the "we're o-o-on our own a-ga-ain" makes me shiver.
