This isn't about you
Or the life she's leading through you
Just every passing day
Leaves me wondering what is really true
Expecting to find you sleeping soundly

Through and through
Sadness comes misplaced
And ends are means by which to uncover truth
Happiness will come when you are with the one
Who can take you to places you never were

But always knew
I'm coming for the ride
And you can say it's too safe inside
You cannot realize it's taking time

I'm taking it in stride
I'm sure it's safer inside
You just can't realize but you're such a person
Wake up every morning, every morning
With her name in your head, you can survive

But you say I'm not half what I wish
I was so much back then
There is no end and no room for pretend
Feeling only this, I cannot fathom it

There's no escape from uncertain fate
There is no excuse, why did this happen to you
Can our lives be made up
From what's been left in time
You're feeling time crushing at the spine

And you're tired and I'm tired
We're so tired, yeah
You're tired inside
You just can't realize what's wrong

Or what it's like to be something
Oh you've come a long way
And I know everything feels gone
Will you see this through

Or will you say it's through
Everything seems so gone to you

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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
Ed Sheeran
“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 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.

Page
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.
