In what mindset does our character lie?
If the stitches that bind the fabric of our soul shrivel up and fall to pieces.
Can one say with absolute certainty,
That he who was once filled with noble virtues,
Might suddenly be converted into a monster so beguiling
That even his own shadow cowers in fear?

I have become that creature.
A charming, vulgar, silhouette of my former self,
Disguised among you as one of your peers,
Waiting for that perfect moment to reach out and procure your soul.

If you cannot view the intentions of a man by the look in his eyes, two single heart beats after your first encounter,
Then you have no business calling yourself a queen.

I know that some of you may balk,
Yet some may find the earnestness of your creation.
The sky will open up and you will indeed be able
To observe a brand new world right before your very eyes.

I have already given you my permission to shag,
And it's my hope that you have used that permission to your advantage.

Ladies and gentleman, what more can I say?
I woke up in a city unfamiliar, I did so out of fear,
On the ground lay my insides.
I picked up the courage, determination and forgiveness
From that pitiful bloody mess,
To find myself and to discover the truth...

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”

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
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.
