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.
As I peel away
All the years of pain
I discovered what's been all along
You were so right
I was so wrong
Every shooting star
They all fall so hard
They all fade like a played out song
Now is the time
Before all is lost
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So I'm coming home
Lost on a road I don't belong
I'll rest my song
I'm so alone
Far from the streets I call my own
I'm coming home
Rushing back to me
As the city sleeps
So afraid of what I will find
Memories they haunt
From deep inside
Every broken man
Comes to understand
that he'll never find paradise
When all that he wants
Was there all the time
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So I'm coming home
Lost on a road I don't belong
I'll rest my song
I'm so alone
Far from the streets I call my own
So I'm coming home
Back to a world left long ago
And now I know
I'm coming home
I'll find my way back
I'm letting go
I'm coming home
We come to find
What we take for granted
Keeps us alive in the end
So don't let time
Leave you empty handed
Reach out tonight and make amends
So I'm coming home
Back to the place where I belong
I'll rest my song
I'm so alone
Far from the streets I call my own
So I'm coming home
Back to a world left long ago
Now I know
I'm coming home
I'll find my way back
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
All the years of pain
I discovered what's been all along
You were so right
I was so wrong
Every shooting star
They all fall so hard
They all fade like a played out song
Now is the time
Before all is lost
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So I'm coming home
Lost on a road I don't belong
I'll rest my song
I'm so alone
Far from the streets I call my own
I'm coming home
Rushing back to me
As the city sleeps
So afraid of what I will find
Memories they haunt
From deep inside
Every broken man
Comes to understand
that he'll never find paradise
When all that he wants
Was there all the time
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
So I'm coming home
Lost on a road I don't belong
I'll rest my song
I'm so alone
Far from the streets I call my own
So I'm coming home
Back to a world left long ago
And now I know
I'm coming home
I'll find my way back
I'm letting go
I'm coming home
We come to find
What we take for granted
Keeps us alive in the end
So don't let time
Leave you empty handed
Reach out tonight and make amends
So I'm coming home
Back to the place where I belong
I'll rest my song
I'm so alone
Far from the streets I call my own
So I'm coming home
Back to a world left long ago
Now I know
I'm coming home
I'll find my way back
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

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.

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.
my favorite b-side of the new album. it could easily find its place in the original line up of the track list.
I totally agree with ColdenScence, could have easily fit into the original track list. Excellent song.
I think the song is about someone searching for their place on earth (their home) when there's no hope and doubt in their life
