This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If they tell me that the bees don't make honey anymore
What am I supposed to tell you
If they tell me that the ocean is tired of her shores
Tell me what am I supposed to tell you
When I can't tell you anything but the truth
I can't tell you anything but the truth
What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
How does the mama keep the baby warm
The wind is telling us that it's time
And what if we're not ready to fly
Well, I can't tell you anything but the truth
I cant tell you anything but the truth
Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing
Make it strong, give it wings
But I can't tell you anything but the truth
And I can't tell you anything but the truth
What is this place, who am I
Why did we come here
What is this place, who am I
Why did we come here
I don't know, I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
I don't know, I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
What am I supposed to tell you
If they tell me that the ocean is tired of her shores
Tell me what am I supposed to tell you
When I can't tell you anything but the truth
I can't tell you anything but the truth
What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
How does the mama keep the baby warm
The wind is telling us that it's time
And what if we're not ready to fly
Well, I can't tell you anything but the truth
I cant tell you anything but the truth
Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing
Make it strong, give it wings
But I can't tell you anything but the truth
And I can't tell you anything but the truth
What is this place, who am I
Why did we come here
What is this place, who am I
Why did we come here
I don't know, I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know
I don't know, I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know

Hayalperest
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.

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.
Page

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.
I think this song is about Jack's children. I think it is a narrative of when they ask questions that are hard to answer and are sometimes easier to lie about, but Jack wants to be an honest Dad that loves his children enough to tell them only the truth. The part where he sings "What is this place, who am I, why did we come here?" it is a question one of his children asks him and he responds with: "I don't know, I don't know, but I don't know we're meant to know." Jack knows he needs to be honest with them for their own benefit and for the sake of honesty. He wants to raise them up and make them strong, like when he sings "tree tops they touch the ground, in the morning walk with no sound, hear no birds, hear no planes, through the mud, feel the clay, build it up, make it sing, make it strong, give it wings." This, I feel, describes him raising his children, making them stronger along the way and giving them "wings" so they can later fly on their own. Moreover, I love this song and I think it is beautiful.
Well put Rootsteps! I haven't had time to listen thoroughly yet, but that seems like the correct meaning! Thanks for making this song mean sooooo much more!
