Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
jesus was a terrorist enemy of the state that's what the romans labeled him so he was put to death he died for his beliefs what's changed today? today bible-thumping cannibals reap money from his name buy cable networks & power with old ladies' checks if jesus saw pat robertson what do you think he'd say? tax-free they re-write our laws and sick 'em on you women don't control their bodies tv preachers do censor everything from bathing suits to science books from the schoolroom to the bedroom they want our thoughts - or else they treat us like the romans used to treat the christians even some church going folks are scared modern catacombs of fear built with money, power and threats rock'n'roll is labeled porn sell a record, you're under arrest instead of fighting aids they try to stop us having sex they brag that they won't quit til they take dominion over our lives is freedom of speech such a terrorist act is spiritual peace such a satanic threat believe what you want but we'll fight to keep out heads from being cemented in your sand.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Midnight

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
jesus didn't kill anyone but people did in his name [i think jesus was like gandia-not a god or a divine w/e]
Jesus kills people every single day and he was never even real how fucked up is that shit!
I would say the writer is a believer too, but does not like what the church has done with the gospels.
A believer? Ha! Jello Biafra wrote these lyrics, here's some of his other work if you need any convincing;<br /> <br /> All religions make me wanna throw up<br /> All religions make me sick<br /> All religions suck<br /> <br /> They all claim that they have the answer<br /> When they don't even know the question<br /> They're just a bunch of liars<br /> They just want your money<br /> They just want your consciousness
