This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
My prospects have become less promising
I find it hard to believe in anything
Seems I lost my world and so I lost my faith
And I can't go back to where I've been
A brand new day
It can't get worse
Hear myself say
It can't get worse
I have no lies or truth in what I say
There is no meaning
The words are numb and I am so afraid
There is no meaning
This is another chance or so I'm told
By these who can push themselves at any cost
They bless me with their fingers crossed
My youth is stolen, transformed and sold
I find it hard to believe in anything
Seems I lost my world and so I lost my faith
And I can't go back to where I've been
A brand new day
It can't get worse
Hear myself say
It can't get worse
I have no lies or truth in what I say
There is no meaning
The words are numb and I am so afraid
There is no meaning
This is another chance or so I'm told
By these who can push themselves at any cost
They bless me with their fingers crossed
My youth is stolen, transformed and sold

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”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

“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.
fuck it hurts. its like someone stabs me in the heart with a silversword that is so beautiful, but when its in my heart i cant feel nothing but pain. and this moments lasts just for sekonds but feels like it could take over my hole life. and sentence like "they bless me with their fingers crossed my youth is stolen, transformed and sold" is just overwelming, i doesnt even dare to say those words when im alone. so guess what happend to me....
great song... i think it's about a lost childhood or a traumatizing one...(and I can't go back to where I've been,my youth is stolen, transformed and sold) , from which he now suffers the consequences a (brand new day it can't get worse hear myself say it can't get worse)
i personally think this song is expressing a depressive view on the whole life.in a very simple way without very much getting into details.
"My prospects have become less promising I find it hard to believe in anything Seems I lost my world and so I lost my faith And I can't go back to where I've been"
out of this part what i get is: the goals in life seem too far to achieve and nothing is any more reliable or worth living for and there's no way to return to past when it didn't used to be like this.
"A brand new day It can't get worse Hear myself say It can't get worse"
Most people are used to saying:"tomorrow brings a better day along...".well the song says it won't.because every new day is going to be worse than the previous one. i feel very close to this song
I think this song is about someone expressing regret for their past & the foreboding future. They see that the odds are stacked against them & they are struggling to come to terms with this or even find the words.
so sad -_-
What a fucking great song! And album!
Very great song. This is easily an album highlight. Hell, it's a band highlight.
Best song by Katatonia that I've heard.
I love the line "They bless me with their fingers crossed." To me, that's when people you know say they want you to succeed but really don't because they can't accomplish anything (like quit smoking, etc).
does any one else notice that when he says, "my youth is stolen, transformed and sold"
"sold" is sung kind of like "so old" i think that's a pretty cool play on words ("youth" -> "so old")
