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.
You walk all over anyone who dares to be a friend,
Screen and yell because you deem them unenlightened,
High upon your horse you preach and preach and preach,
Love thy fellow humans all your filthy little creeps.
X-ing off the days,
X-ing off the days
I nearly broke my back as I was handing back for you,
Half the time was hell and half a waste of time,
High upon your horse you preach and preach and preach,
Love thy fellow humans all your filthy little creeps.
X-ing off the days,
X-ing off the days.
I do not know the answer to the universe I fear,
So drown me cold and go and find your perfect man my,
dear,
High upon your horse you preach and preach and preach,
Love thy fellow humans all your filthy little creeps,
X-ing off the days,
X-ing off the days.
Screen and yell because you deem them unenlightened,
High upon your horse you preach and preach and preach,
Love thy fellow humans all your filthy little creeps.
X-ing off the days,
X-ing off the days
I nearly broke my back as I was handing back for you,
Half the time was hell and half a waste of time,
High upon your horse you preach and preach and preach,
Love thy fellow humans all your filthy little creeps.
X-ing off the days,
X-ing off the days.
I do not know the answer to the universe I fear,
So drown me cold and go and find your perfect man my,
dear,
High upon your horse you preach and preach and preach,
Love thy fellow humans all your filthy little creeps,
X-ing off the days,
X-ing off the days.

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
OK well I can relate to this song so well! I think it could be about Katie Jane's attitude to other people. In the Kerrang! interview "Tales of Ordinary Madness" she said that sometimes she feels like she is the only thing that is real and everything else is created in her imagination, so in this life she is either God or nothing..a scary polarity certainly. I think in this song she is saying that no-one else seems to care about things in the same way as she does, no-one else thinks like she does and therefore she finds it difficult to relate to other people. When she starts to open up to people and tell them who she really is she gets scared that they will think she is crazy and closes up "You walk all over anyone who dares to be a friend"...deeming them "unenlightened" is saying that they could never understand her and what it is like to constantly struggle against yourself. "Love thy fellow humans..." that's such a powerful line, all these people telling you that you have to love each other and look out for each other but these people suck to put it politely! Why should you have to love your fellow human when they persecute you and manipulate you so bloody badly? We have a responsibility towards ourselves, if we look out for ourselves people can take care of themselves. A lot of people don't deserve our help, yes it's condescending and narcissistic maybe, but yes it is also true. "X-ing off the days"-originally I was thinking 'till death? After all that is the ultimate release! Alternatively it could be 'till people stop their persecutions ie. never or 'till they change you so much you are unrecognisable. "I nearly broke my back..."-this is saying we put ourselves out for them, we try to change to meet their ideals but Katie Jane knows that really we are never going to change enough, they will never be satisfied. "Your perfect man..." this is irony I feel, at least on Katie Jane's part, I don't think she beleives you can find someone that perfect..you can't always think you're better, someday you're going to have to settle for someone or be very very lonely!
