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.
Pumpkin seed gonna get you soon
Couse couse, kitchenware, attitude
Nothing more than an acorn shell
Yeah this is my October
Shadow me accordingly
Nothing more than a bit too fast
Fall down, hit the ground
Not meant to last
Nothing more than a need to yell
That this is my October
Let me die
Since I've been running out of empty
All I have is candy bars
And costumes to defend me
You say
"We used to taste so sweet"
Do I look like candy?
Do I look like candy?
Pumpkin gonna get too quick
Couse couse, kitchen wear, I'm full of shit
And nothing more than a need to yell
That this is my October
Shadow me accordingly
And I never thought
We'd break this ground
Fall down, hit the ground
Don't make a sound
It's been nothing more
Than a big cheep thrill
Yeah yeah this is my October
Let me die
Since I've been
Running out of empty
All I have is candy bars
And costumes to defend me
You say
"We used to taste so sweet"
Do I look like candy?
Like candy
Like candy
Like candy
Ya, da, da, da'm gonna die
Yeah this is my October
Couse couse, kitchenware, attitude
Nothing more than an acorn shell
Yeah this is my October
Shadow me accordingly
Nothing more than a bit too fast
Fall down, hit the ground
Not meant to last
Nothing more than a need to yell
That this is my October
Let me die
Since I've been running out of empty
All I have is candy bars
And costumes to defend me
You say
"We used to taste so sweet"
Do I look like candy?
Do I look like candy?
Pumpkin gonna get too quick
Couse couse, kitchen wear, I'm full of shit
And nothing more than a need to yell
That this is my October
Shadow me accordingly
And I never thought
We'd break this ground
Fall down, hit the ground
Don't make a sound
It's been nothing more
Than a big cheep thrill
Yeah yeah this is my October
Let me die
Since I've been
Running out of empty
All I have is candy bars
And costumes to defend me
You say
"We used to taste so sweet"
Do I look like candy?
Like candy
Like candy
Like candy
Ya, da, da, da'm gonna die
Yeah this is my October

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”

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

“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.
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 was on an Abercrombie & Fitch CD I believe...there's an acoustic version with these lyrics on Mike Garrigan's website.
