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.
I made tonight a memory
I could walk for miles and miles
I left a shadow at her feet
I can see her all alone
The night itself a reverie
I could dream this out for a while
I keep her lost in lock and key
'Cause she's just my kind of style
She takes my hand and leads me in
It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin
And I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I made tonight a memory
Yeah you took me higher and higher
You make it hard for me to leave
But I'm coming back to you
She takes my hand and leads me in
It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin
And I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind
It's not over, over, over
It's not over, over, over
She takes my hand and leads me in, It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin, and I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind
(It's not over, over, over)
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
(It's not over, over, over)
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
(It's not over, over, over)
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
(It's not over, over, over)
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind
I could walk for miles and miles
I left a shadow at her feet
I can see her all alone
The night itself a reverie
I could dream this out for a while
I keep her lost in lock and key
'Cause she's just my kind of style
She takes my hand and leads me in
It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin
And I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I made tonight a memory
Yeah you took me higher and higher
You make it hard for me to leave
But I'm coming back to you
She takes my hand and leads me in
It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin
And I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind
It's not over, over, over
It's not over, over, over
She takes my hand and leads me in, It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin, and I walk over
She speaks the word to make me grin
Can I please have her
We grab a hold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of

To hear you speak and dream again
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind
(It's not over, over, over)
I crawl my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
(It's not over, over, over)
To touch your lips from deep within
A bit like love and hail the wind
(It's not over, over, over)
Across the grave invite the bands
Carry well when the world ends
(It's not over, over, over)
Across you lay, I loose you when you're in my arms
Just like the wind

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.

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.

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 a relationship that has definitely had it's struggles. "I left a shadow at her feet" meaning he is coming up and talking to her as she is sitting down a little upset. They have their struggles but she is his heroine. He is addicted he keeps going back for her. They had a great night together. He crawled his way back in her head, they got over the fight. And now they are just having a night of romance. Maybe I am way off, but that is how it connected with me. The musical composition with the lyrics I think explains and sets the mood perfectly.
