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.
Told her you'd forget
It hasn't happened yet
Oh, you want to know
She said nothing
Nothing, nothing
She said nothing
You'd wanna hear right now
What goes through your head
Better left unsaid, yeah
Oh, you want to know.
She says nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You'd got to hear right now
Nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now, yeah now
It hasn't happened yet
Oh, you want to know
She said nothing
Nothing, nothing
She said nothing
You'd wanna hear right now
What goes through your head
Better left unsaid, yeah
Oh, you want to know.
She says nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You'd got to hear right now
Nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now, yeah now

“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.

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.

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

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."
The singer is talking to a guy who is interested in a girl, but the girl is not interested in him. Either that or the two had a very nasty argument and she's not speaking to him.
