This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
As the sun comes creeping up the mountain
And the wind blows over from the sea
Hey, we're brought into this land like tiny particles of sand,
Unsure of who we're smarter than, or what we're meant to be
Oh the grains sift coarsely through the hour glass
And collect like their victims in the bowl
The ungodly force of change erodes all sense of earthly gains
While tending to the mundane will terrorize your soul
And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is old and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
Well, I wish that I could tell you it was easy,
Just take the paved road right to paradise
But the truth is my friend, the pain and suffering never ends
Make amends with medicine, amnesia, and lies
The grains sift coarsely through the hour glass
And they pound like boulders on the brain
All those things you did for fun,
Never hurting anyone,
Careless shadows in the sun, just empty and lame
And it's no, it's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is old and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
It's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is dead and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
So now the day races from the twilight
How the fields are enveloped by the shade
And the story that you'll tell,
Inventory of your well,
Crack the shell and find the mortar silted and decayed
And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is dead and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
It's best to hurry on and find your Avalon
And the wind blows over from the sea
Hey, we're brought into this land like tiny particles of sand,
Unsure of who we're smarter than, or what we're meant to be
Oh the grains sift coarsely through the hour glass
And collect like their victims in the bowl
The ungodly force of change erodes all sense of earthly gains
While tending to the mundane will terrorize your soul
And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is old and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
Well, I wish that I could tell you it was easy,
Just take the paved road right to paradise
But the truth is my friend, the pain and suffering never ends
Make amends with medicine, amnesia, and lies
The grains sift coarsely through the hour glass
And they pound like boulders on the brain
All those things you did for fun,
Never hurting anyone,
Careless shadows in the sun, just empty and lame
And it's no, it's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is old and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
It's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is dead and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
So now the day races from the twilight
How the fields are enveloped by the shade
And the story that you'll tell,
Inventory of your well,
Crack the shell and find the mortar silted and decayed
And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong
The past is dead and gone
It's best to move along and find your Avalon
It's best to hurry on and find your Avalon

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
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.
Alright first off I wanna say that this is probably the best song on the new album, (which pwns btw) except for maybe The Resist Stance. And also I don't know if anyone has noticed the drums about 20 seconds into the song, well, they are totally awesome and I thought you all needed to know that. Also I think the drums in this album sound a lot like that of Suffer, just sayin.
Alright about the meaning, Avalon is an island of folklore that supposedly people like King Arthur and immortal people go for paradise or something along the lines of paradise.
I think the song is saying to not live in the past, which is "old and gone." And that the line "it's best to move along and find your Avalon" is sarcasm, because there is no place like that. "The truth is my friends, the pain and suffering never ends" adds more to the idea that finding your Avalon is sarcasm.
I could be way off, if anyone can figure it out better than I can that would be awesome.
I am not sure if avalon is meant as sarcasm in this song.<br /> I read somewhere that avalon is a legendary island featured in the Arthurian legend, wikipedia says it is famous for its beautiful apples - which might be a nice fact to know :P. But it also says that: "It first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 1136 pseudohistorical account Historia Regum Britanniae ("The History of the Kings of Britain") as the place where King Arthur's sword Caliburn (Excalibur) was forged and later where Arthur is taken to recover from his wounds after the Battle of Camlann."<br /> <br /> I would almost think Avalon is used as a methaphor.<br /> <br /> "And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong. The past is old and gone. It's best to move along and find your Avalon."<br /> <br /> It doesn't matter what happened in the passed, just move along and find your avalon to heal your past wounds so you can move on.<br /> <br /> Though from the second chorus it seems to take a some kind of sarcastic turn when it states that: "I wish that I could tell you it was easy, just take the paved road right to paradise." and then it is followed by: "But the truth is my friend, the pain and suffering never ends. Make amends with medicine, amnesia, and lies."<br /> <br /> Sounds like the first chorus is focused on the mythical story where Avalon is described as "Isle of the Blessed", but the 2nd chorus aims at the reality and the fact that there actually is no such place as Avalon within our reality, but only in our thoughts if we actually believe in it.<br /> <br /> I am still a bit confused though.
