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.
[Searching]
So the search went on to find where the essence of things lay
Always on the prowl to discover the light of day
Somebody once told me that all good comes to he who waits
Hard to believe when the lung of life deflates
The only thing worse than losing you mind and being
Is to know about the fact that it is happening
So why do we keep on fighting when Death's cold embrace
Brings us nothing but nothingness... Still we carry on...
And my search always ends in Death!
[A Miracle]
Then came the day when it was time
To greet you with a "Welcome to the world"
I saw a miracle unveil before my eyes
The birth of a little baby girl
A picture says more than a thousand words
So here I am - look at me
Try to fathom the love you see in my stare
My blood, my love, my life
I'll fight for my miracle
I'll conquer for my miracle
I'll endure for my miracle
I'll die for you - my miracle
and I'd kill the whole world if I knew it'd made you smile
Down to the last of human kind
They've got supremacy in numbers
But I have an image of you in my mind...
So I look at my miracle and fill with pain
That I ever have to separate from you again
I think of my miracle and tears fill my eyes
As all my frustration fades and dies
I'll fight for my miracle
I'll conquer for my miracle
I'll endure for my miracle
I'll die for you - my miracle
[Fading]
I feel my days are growing shorter
And with that, a battle has begun
To live and breathe every moment with you
To stay with you under the sun
I planted a seed - the image of me
And now that you're here
I wonder about my own mortality
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
So I am not objective, that's true
But you are the sweetest thing to gaze upon
And I bleed inside when I look at you
I planted a seed - the image of me
And now that you're here
I ponder my own immortality
[End(less)]
Now that nature can dispose of me
I ask myself, how can you go on
The answer lies in you
You made me SAFE
My life, my love, my blood...
So the search went on to find where the essence of things lay
Always on the prowl to discover the light of day
Somebody once told me that all good comes to he who waits
Hard to believe when the lung of life deflates
The only thing worse than losing you mind and being
Is to know about the fact that it is happening
So why do we keep on fighting when Death's cold embrace
Brings us nothing but nothingness... Still we carry on...
And my search always ends in Death!

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Blue
Ed Sheeran

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Epic! Full of emotion !
