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.
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
The truth exposed to love is devoured
And the ivory tower is coming down
I felt betrayed and order is broken
The wounds are open and bleeding out
But it's all I can do to carry on
It brings all I fear to life
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
Should you have to throw it all away?
Did you have to shove it in my face?
Did you have to tear my world apart?
Did you have to take so selfishly?
No matter how you hurt the ones you need?
Did you have to fall so very far?
Should you have to throw it all away?
Did you have to shove it in my face?
Did you have to tear my world apart?
Did you have to take so selfishly?
No matter how you hurt the ones you need?
Did you have to fall so very far?
The trigger's warm, the chamber is loaded
Lost in the moment. What went wrong?
There's nothing left this house has been broken
But still I'm holding, I'm holding on
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
You can see it in your love
The wounds are open and I'm bleeding out
It's so real
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
The truth exposed to love is devoured
And the ivory tower is coming down
I felt betrayed and order is broken
The wounds are open and bleeding out
But it's all I can do to carry on
It brings all I fear to life
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
Should you have to throw it all away?
Did you have to shove it in my face?
Did you have to tear my world apart?
Did you have to take so selfishly?
No matter how you hurt the ones you need?
Did you have to fall so very far?
Should you have to throw it all away?
Did you have to shove it in my face?
Did you have to tear my world apart?
Did you have to take so selfishly?
No matter how you hurt the ones you need?
Did you have to fall so very far?
The trigger's warm, the chamber is loaded
Lost in the moment. What went wrong?
There's nothing left this house has been broken
But still I'm holding, I'm holding on
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
You can see it in your love
The wounds are open and I'm bleeding out
It's so real
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?

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 feel more it's not being cheated on, nor exactly being betrayed in some way. I see it more as ignorance in a relationship. One person has had pain in their past, and the other is completely ignoring this and is making these pains worse. That's not the best explanation I can do, but it's the general idea.
