This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Play with it while you have hands
Dust settles, cities turn to sand
Trespassing this is their land
Time flies, make a statement, take a stand
Come along now

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.

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
Its a simple song by some native american's. Its the pride and knowledge they possess. Inviting you along to find freedom from your life. Not the "new" natives but the original inhabitants that still hold true to the path.
Play with it while you have hands. All life ends, dust settles and cities turn to sand. Live. Be. Do.
Trespassing, this is their land. But what will you do? Time flies, make a statement. Take a stand. Be something. Be someone. Stand for something or fall for anything. Where will you stand and who with? Will you allow them to be destroy us? Or will you join and help protect freedom?
What you own, owns you. Leave it and you are free. Possessions, ideas, people. Some are worth keeping, some not. Come along, come along with me. Come along and you'll see....what its like to be free. Lets seize this day.
The pain you do not even know is their weighing you down. You have carried it so long it has become part of you. You can not see it but I see the pain you are in because of it. Come along with me and I'll ease your pain. Come along and be free.
Stay out. Stay clear. Stay close. Friends, foes, God only knows. Who do you trust? Confusing statements from those that speak as friends but actions speak of foes. Some wish to help, others wish to help themselves.
Lets be the thorn on the rose. The beauty they see, the beauty they take comes with a cost. Lets not be the flower easily taken but the one that should be left and admired from safety. Time flies, make a statement. Speak you mind and who you will stand by. Strike a pose. Defiant or submissive?
