In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
She's lost in coma where it's beautiful
Intoxicated from the deep sleep, deep sleep
do you wonder what it's like
living in a permanent imagination?
sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that
Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction
she dreams in digital
´cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal,
she's dreaming in digital
she dreams in digital
And your pixel army can't save you now
my finger's on the kill switch
I remember I used to compose your dreams, (control your dreams)
and don't be afraid to expose yourself before I shut you down
you made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping
Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction
But she dreams in digital
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal
she's dreaming in digital (dreams in digital)
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal
she's dreaming in digital (dreams in digital)
she dreams in digital
(dreams in digital)
she dreams in digital
she's guilty by design
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal that she's dreaming in digital
(she's nothing more than fiction)
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal, she's dreaming in digital
(dreams in digital)
Intoxicated from the deep sleep, deep sleep
do you wonder what it's like
living in a permanent imagination?
sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that
Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction
she dreams in digital
´cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal,
she's dreaming in digital
she dreams in digital
And your pixel army can't save you now
my finger's on the kill switch
I remember I used to compose your dreams, (control your dreams)
and don't be afraid to expose yourself before I shut you down
you made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping
Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction
But she dreams in digital
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal
she's dreaming in digital (dreams in digital)
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal
she's dreaming in digital (dreams in digital)
she dreams in digital
(dreams in digital)
she dreams in digital
she's guilty by design
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal that she's dreaming in digital
(she's nothing more than fiction)
cause it's better than nothing
now that control is gone
it seems unreal, she's dreaming in digital
(dreams in digital)

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.

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 first 2 lines mean that she is brought into this beautiful world of dreams. The second two ask if you know what it's like. The fifth line means you just want to get out of the real world.
The chorus means that she's better than human, and she dreams these unreal dreams uncontrollably
The next two lines mean that she can't protect herself from something, I'm assuming it's the person telling the story.
Then it says that the person telling the story used to compose and control her dreams. It means that he was all she could think of. Then it means that she shouldn't be afraid to have some fun before he does whatever he's gonna do to her. The last line means that she has changed since some incedent happened, probably about the guy telling the story.
Basically, It's about a girl who couldn't get this guy off her mind. Then he did something terrible, and so she waits to go to sleep to escape reality. She left, but the guy still wants her to be with him.
