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.
Time's rollin' forward
I'm gettin' bored
Layin' on my back
I'm losin' track
Shifting patterns
And nothin' matters
Cause there's no one here
I've lost my fear
Well I've got no place left to hide
I'm runnin' out of time
Moving slowly
The walls are closing
In on me
I can not see
Appearing fine, well
That's all a lie
Cause I'm not alright
Extinct inside
I'm runnin' out of time
My mother says I'm fine
A teenage suicide
No place to hide
Well I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
Well I'm runnin' out of time
No place to hide
Ya, I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
A teenage suicide
I'm gettin' bored
Layin' on my back
I'm losin' track
Shifting patterns
And nothin' matters
Cause there's no one here
I've lost my fear
Well I've got no place left to hide
I'm runnin' out of time
Moving slowly
The walls are closing
In on me
I can not see
Appearing fine, well
That's all a lie
Cause I'm not alright
Extinct inside
I'm runnin' out of time
My mother says I'm fine
A teenage suicide
No place to hide
Well I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
Well I'm runnin' out of time
No place to hide
Ya, I've got no place left to hide
No place to hide
A teenage suicide

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.
The title gives it away. But the movie is sooo sweet. It is like he wants to die but then he is in the life of the party. good stuff, personally favorite.
