This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We took the p out of paradise
just to produce this hell
And all we're going to leave behind is this decaying putrid smell
We've lived in this world
seen her used and abused
That's why god is singing the blues
They felled a great oak over there
they filled a duck pond over here
We've got a glass and concrete monster now that feeds and caters to
our fears
Maybe it's too late
to spoil another view
That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues
Polluted all the oceans
pulped all the trees
Plagued by chronic boredom
we blew a hole in the atmosphere
We tore out her heart
left her battered and bruised
That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues
You may believe in evolution
you may believe in god's great creation
The only thing we know for sure
we got a man made situation
We turned this whole world
into a dying zoo
That's why god is singing the blues
You better live on your feet
than die on your knees
I stole that from some graffiti
lord have mercy please
Living in this babylon
keeps us confused
That's why god is singing the blues
just to produce this hell
And all we're going to leave behind is this decaying putrid smell
We've lived in this world
seen her used and abused
That's why god is singing the blues
They felled a great oak over there
they filled a duck pond over here
We've got a glass and concrete monster now that feeds and caters to
our fears
Maybe it's too late
to spoil another view
That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues
Polluted all the oceans
pulped all the trees
Plagued by chronic boredom
we blew a hole in the atmosphere
We tore out her heart
left her battered and bruised
That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues
You may believe in evolution
you may believe in god's great creation
The only thing we know for sure
we got a man made situation
We turned this whole world
into a dying zoo
That's why god is singing the blues
You better live on your feet
than die on your knees
I stole that from some graffiti
lord have mercy please
Living in this babylon
keeps us confused
That's why god is singing the blues

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.

“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. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
