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.
my searching eyes have never been so intrigued to see you. i guess you found a way to make ten minutes last forever. with each passing moment we drift further away...closer to our chosen paths. but i can't help remembering what was...what might have been. but i have been warned by those who have passed this way before, and to them i am grateful. and as for you i am also grateful...and i pray you find the peace you have been longing for.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
it's already been said probably dozens of times, but this song is just so powerful. i remember first breaking up with my ex and just listening to this song on repeat and letting it encompass everything i was feeling. it's honestly one of the best songs to really let things go; your emotions, your built-up frustrations, and most importantly that person you love. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to stop loving them anymore, because love can also be best expressed during these silent gestures. "i pray you find the peace you have been longing for."
They may not know how much you love them, but at least you can come to terms with yourself.
"but i have been warned by those who have passed this way before, and to them i am grateful."
-Now how often do we truly heed these warnings? but most of the time we end up realizing for those people who stuck by us, or those that came into our lives at that perfect moment to pick us up. This song not only hopes for the best for that person who has drifted away, but it expresses the joy in having those who you still have. and to make sure you love them always because you never know when this song will be dedicated to them.
hopesfall is an amazing band
I love this song right now. I'm dealing with all of this. Me and my boyfriend broke up about a month ago. and Now he's pushing me further and further away. (while moving closer and closer to my best friend) I'm still in shock, and trying to figure out how a person can feel so strongly for another person and yet the next day completely change his feelings? Anyone with an answer please get back to me.
I love Hopesfall. They are amazing.
i really like this song AND uhh i cant believe i wrote before i dont remember i love this song...sounds great absolutely love it....turning an ex into a friend is hard..thats all i have to say man
Perfect song! I love the live version as well!
this song is about how you try to make a friendship after a relationship between a gf and bf and how it seems that their just falling further away by each passing day of silence.
i was happy to see this song posted yesterday, after not finding it here monday. this song is so rad. no matter what its about, its rad.
this song is so much more than just the song itself, god if you have been in the place of what this describes you'll know that it's just the most painful thing your heart can take...
this is the most painful thing your heart can take... i'm going through it right now... me and my ex broke up and everything was going good until i found out that 3 days after we broke up, she was making out with some guy in a hot tub and it's gotten worse from there... we tried to be friends, but it just isn't working... we're just drifinting farther and farther apart...
this song is freakin awesome. nuff said.
