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.
Pretending to remember our last December, and everything it was.
Hoping to fix the broken.
Stood by the fireplace. The flames lit up my face.
And everything I said (walking on glass)
I practiced in my head .
And all that I could do (walking on glass)
Was recite my lines to you.
Pretending to recall the way it was last fall, for lack of better days.
I think this time of year, you see everything too clear,
But still can't understand a thing.
And everything I said (walking on glass)
I practiced in my head.
And all that I could do (walking on glass)
Was recite my lines to you.
I can't forget a word you said, and everything it meant.
Instead of you I fear myself.
Guess all that I can do, is take back everything that I'd given to you.
Pretending to remember our last December, and everything it was.
Hoping to fix the broken.
Stood by the fireplace. The flames lit up my face.
And everything I said (walking on glass)
I practiced in my head.
And all that I could do (walking on glass)
Was recite my lines to you.
I can't forget a word you said, and everything it meant.
Instead of you I fear myself. It's all that I can do.
Cause you're uncomfortable with me.
Yeah you're uncomfortable with me. (Just answer the question.)
Why can't I just understand, what's inside you?
Is it just guts and black stuff? I'll find out soon.
Cause anything that you do or say
Couldn't compare to the pain that I felt...
The day that we said that we'd go our seperate ways.
Hoping to fix the broken.
Stood by the fireplace. The flames lit up my face.
And everything I said (walking on glass)
I practiced in my head .
And all that I could do (walking on glass)
Was recite my lines to you.
Pretending to recall the way it was last fall, for lack of better days.
I think this time of year, you see everything too clear,
But still can't understand a thing.
And everything I said (walking on glass)
I practiced in my head.
And all that I could do (walking on glass)
Was recite my lines to you.
I can't forget a word you said, and everything it meant.
Instead of you I fear myself.
Guess all that I can do, is take back everything that I'd given to you.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The Movie Life is an awsome band and I must say, this song is my favorite. Also, check out CHAMP. Thats a good one by them too.
