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”
Rather die in your arms, than die lonesome
Rather die hard, than die hollow
The higher that I climb
The deeper I fall down
I'm running out of time
So let's dance while we're waiting
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance 'cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can
Rather live out a lie than live wondering
How the fire feels while burning
For life is like a flame
And the ashes for wasting
So honey don't be afraid
To dance while we're waiting
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers without wind
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance 'cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can
So tired of waiting
Come baby
So tired of waiting
Come baby
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance 'cause you must
Love out of lust
So dance while you can
Love out of lust
Love out of lust
Love out of lust
Rather die hard, than die hollow
The higher that I climb
The deeper I fall down
I'm running out of time
So let's dance while we're waiting
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance 'cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can
Rather live out a lie than live wondering
How the fire feels while burning
For life is like a flame
And the ashes for wasting
So honey don't be afraid
To dance while we're waiting
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers without wind
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance 'cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can
So tired of waiting
Come baby
So tired of waiting
Come baby
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
We can do better than I can
So dance while you can
Dance 'cause you must
Love out of lust
So dance while you can
Love out of lust
Love out of lust
Love out of lust

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
Without a doubt one of the best songs on the album.
Onto the song, I feel that it's very tounge-in-cheek. The lyrics tend to be on an optimistic approach ("Rather die in your arms then die lonesome") side yet the instrumental and her vocals bring on the despair of the track. I'm going to have to agree with ananixon, it's most definitely about everlasting love, beyond the after life and as far as the universe goes.
