Do you think you're ready?
Let go now, steady.
Everything is taken care of
You're out of dept
It's been paid, the sun is out
And the night fades in fear oh

And it's hard for me to say this
But it's time for this to end
And it pains you to hear it
But the chains are on the floor
You have no control over me anymore

Oh, guards take away the prisoner
Bind him up and never let him go
In this he'll sleep for all eternity
He'll never lay a hand again on me
And when it's all said and done
I'm still the one with unwashed hands
In this he'll sleep for all eternity

And it's hard for me to say this
But it's time for this to end
And it pains you to hear it
But the chains are on the floor

And it's hard for me to say this
But it's time for this to end
And it pains you to hear it
But the chains are on the floor
You have no control over me... Any--Yeah.
I said you have no control yeah.

And it's hard for me to say this
But it's time for this to end
And it pains you to hear it
But the chains are on the floor
You have no control over me anymore

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”

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.

Page
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.
