The clever make the world weary
To pull it from its moorings
To fawn the young wicked roost
To weather the coming storms

They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside now
Saturnine

How I love to waste your time
Saturnine
Saturnine

Goodbye all you widows
Tearstained underneath
Blessed to the many
Who are seeking some relief

They are inside
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside
You'll always run
But you cannot find
Saturnine

Saturnine
Saturnine
You were waiting all this time
Saturnine
Saturnine

Camera take this picture
The wreckage is outside
Quick may you hurry
We are losing our light

We are inside now
We are inside
We are inside
You'll always run
But you'll never find
Saturnine

Saturnine
How I'd love to make you mine
Saturnine
Saturnine

To the ages I am speaking
To the creatures I am sky
Bloody simple features
Everyone chooses sides

Shatter this faith broken
Walk these summer miles
Leave here while forgotten
Carrying forth this child
Saturnine

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”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
