Hope I can make it
Stop it and break it
The doors are all locked down
I'm flying on my feet
gotta reach that corridor

Sirens are blaring
Screams from the staring
as they watch him cry

He's holding on as he's ripped from the room
engulfed in flames, but they'll be out soon

Oh it's such a shame, of all the things to go wrong while out in space

Fire, fire burns much brighter when oxygen is the supplier
Fire, fire is killing his desire to not be cold as he expire

Oh, burning in space
Oh, burning in space

I wake with a cold sweat
how could I forget
I've seen this all before

The red lights are spinning now
'round and 'round as I hit ground

Warnings of pure dread
heard on the overhead
in a monotonic tone

There are men and women trapped in that room
flames scorching them, but they'll be out soon

Oh it's such a shame, of all the things to go wrong while out in space

Fire, fire burns much brighter when oxygen is the supplier
Fire, fire is killing their desire to not be cold as they expire

Oh, burning in space
Oh, burning in space

Fire, fire burns much brighter when oxygen is the supplier
Fire, fire has killed their desire to not be cold as they expire

Fire, fire burns much brighter when oxygen is the supplier
Fire, fire has killed their desire to not be cold as they expire

    I believe the lyrics talk about an astronaut dying in a shuttle explosion

    My Interpretation

    Sounds like drug addiction being compared to a shuttle explosion. The person feels suffocated and is becoming more hopeless, more cold and bitter. The person overdoses or does something drastic and gets hurt. People are watching.

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.
