And what is that branch?
What branch is it?
Account is altered
And nine year olds

Walk around
In debt record
Account is altered
The grim visage

Account is delta
All yours
The web descends
Look to your grey hairs

And back your horses
About a week
A special allowance
Ran out yesterday

The Masquerah
The Masquerade
The Masqueraderie
Like a fish dish

The grim visage
Altered again
And again
The fifty percent interest

Ran out today
Account altered
In succour
All granted

Knew your desperate comrades
Evaporated
And what is that branch?
What branch is it?

That has the pipe
Of Aluminium
Sprawling underneath it?
You rich pig

What the hell's it?
The Masquerah
The Masquerade
The Masqueraderie

The web descends
Look to your grey hairs
And back you horses
About a week

A special allowance
Ran out yesterday
The Masquerah
The Masquerade

The Masqueraderie
Like a fish dish
The grim visage
Altered again

And again
The fifty percent interest
Ran out today
In Bolton

In succour
All granted
Knew you

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.

Punchline
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.

Amazing
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.
