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.
If dreams come true then you and I would make a two
And if I had one more I'd dream that I stayed on your floor
And while my parents were alive
They'd say Rebecca knows the time to play the next card to your chest
You thought about me and you said go
I thought about that and I said no
You couldn't understand why a girl like me thinks the way I do
But I can't stand a boy who thinks things through like you
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights I've been regretting
Now with you I always thought we lived behind a front door
Right now you don't think that you can live any more
And I'll call and call and call and call and call and call and call
Anyone on the phone, so tonight I'm not alone
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
And you say baby a lot in your song
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I met a boy who grew up in the mountains
He really loved God and got me thinking about things
Like appreciating everyone that I can call a friend
Seeing life as a group of tests to see through to the end
But I'm a quitter, I don't think he knew
That I'm still thinking about you
I'm a quitter and I'm ashamed
He said he'd come back for my brain
And you say baby a lot in your songs
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I just wanted to see that new Tim Burton movie
Or hang around with Laura, Jane and Suzy
And I definitely want to be a rapper
But I'm just a northern girl from where nothing really happens
And the bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
It's from all the crunking I've been doing
And if I had one more I'd dream that I stayed on your floor
And while my parents were alive
They'd say Rebecca knows the time to play the next card to your chest
You thought about me and you said go
I thought about that and I said no
You couldn't understand why a girl like me thinks the way I do
But I can't stand a boy who thinks things through like you
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights I've been regretting
Now with you I always thought we lived behind a front door
Right now you don't think that you can live any more
And I'll call and call and call and call and call and call and call
Anyone on the phone, so tonight I'm not alone
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning of the nights that I've been regretting
And you say baby a lot in your song
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I met a boy who grew up in the mountains
He really loved God and got me thinking about things
Like appreciating everyone that I can call a friend
Seeing life as a group of tests to see through to the end
But I'm a quitter, I don't think he knew
That I'm still thinking about you
I'm a quitter and I'm ashamed
He said he'd come back for my brain
And you say baby a lot in your songs
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum
I just wanted to see that new Tim Burton movie
Or hang around with Laura, Jane and Suzy
And I definitely want to be a rapper
But I'm just a northern girl from where nothing really happens
And the bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
It's from all the crunking I've been doing

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Amazing

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.

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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Actually it's about Rebecca's attempt to move on after an upsetting break up. She did an interview about it and talked about how she was trying to move past him but kept returning to the same emotions, the same memories. This is my favourite song, just beautiful.
