This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
On dance floors from London to Liverpool
In the dark of the night, when the air is cool,
Out in the street in the pouring rain
In a concrete jungle that echoes your name,
In a hundred hotel rooms
Where a few hundred sleep
In a thousand cheap boozes, where young lovers meet,
In the million miles of traffic jams, we waste away time,
In a single sad moment, when we say our goodbyes.
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love.
Sing in your bedroom when you go home,
Through the broken door to your broken home,
Sing to the memory of a different past,
Sing to yourself and a bottom of a glass.
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when you're out of love.
Now watch us fall apart,
Oh, here we go,
Now watch us fall apart,
Oh, here we go
Now watch us fall apart
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat,
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
(Now Watch Us Fall Apart)
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go
(Sing when you're in love)
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat,
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
(Sing when you're in love)
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat,
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when your out of love,
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when your out of love,
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
(Now Watch Us Fall Apart)
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
(Now Watch Us Fall Apart)
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
In the dark of the night, when the air is cool,
Out in the street in the pouring rain
In a concrete jungle that echoes your name,
In a hundred hotel rooms
Where a few hundred sleep
In a thousand cheap boozes, where young lovers meet,
In the million miles of traffic jams, we waste away time,
In a single sad moment, when we say our goodbyes.
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love.
Sing in your bedroom when you go home,
Through the broken door to your broken home,
Sing to the memory of a different past,
Sing to yourself and a bottom of a glass.
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when you're out of love,
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when you're out of love.
Now watch us fall apart,
Oh, here we go,
Now watch us fall apart,
Oh, here we go
Now watch us fall apart
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat,
Every beat in your heart

That won't let you let go.
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when your out of love,
Sing when you're in love, you're in love, you're in love, sing when your out of love,
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
(Now Watch Us Fall Apart)
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
(Now Watch Us Fall Apart)
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.
Every tear in your eye,
Every lump in your throat
Every beat in your heart
That won't let you let go.

Holiday

@[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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
I can't believe no-one has commented on this song yet. It is such a class tune! And someone has used the wrong "your" - you're :/
I think it's about going out on the town, and pulling someone. You meet someone hint the hotel room, boozers and then you end up falling in love with them.
The chorus bit is like, be happy no matter what. Life is too short, don't have regrets etc. In the end, everything will all turn out alrate.
"Every tear in your eye, Every lump in your throat, Every beat in your heart, That won't let you let go"
It's all about a break up and trying to move on.
In general, it's such a beautiful song, but personally i prefer Last Goodbye. Haha
