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”
You just smile at me
You're just on my knee
Bring me coffee or tea
Call me "pretty little bee, bee"
Whisper in my ear lad
You're still my parent friend
Throw me out of my bag
Ask me "Are you dead?"
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
You just smile at me
You're just on my knee
Bring me coffee or tea
Call me "pretty little bee"
Whisper in my ear lad
You're still my parent friend
Throw me out of my bag
Ask me "Are you dead
Dead dead?"
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney yes I'm again
I feel pretty in the chimney yes I'm again
I feel pretty in the chimney yes I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Oh!
Hey, yes I'm again yes I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again
You're just on my knee
Bring me coffee or tea
Call me "pretty little bee, bee"
Whisper in my ear lad
You're still my parent friend
Throw me out of my bag
Ask me "Are you dead?"
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
You just smile at me
You're just on my knee
Bring me coffee or tea
Call me "pretty little bee"
Whisper in my ear lad
You're still my parent friend
Throw me out of my bag
Ask me "Are you dead
Dead dead?"
I feel pretty in the chimney I feel
I feel pretty in the chimney yes I'm again
I feel pretty in the chimney yes I'm again
I feel pretty in the chimney yes I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Oh!
Hey, yes I'm again yes I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again yes, I'm again
Yes, I'm again

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page

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.
I don't think it makes any difference whether Damo 'got' or 'had' religion when he sung the Vocals to Tago Mago - after all does it matter whether composers of older times such as Wagner, or Beethoven or Handel, Hayden or Elgar or Taverner were believers or not, they still made great music, and so did Can.
