This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I demand nothing
But I want it all
What privillege do we get under the sun,
That gives us the right to the throne
Species come and go,but the earth stands forever fast,
All river runs towards the sea, but the sea is never full,
To discover the loneliness, and to be proud to show the wounds,
Will forever wander alone through the years?
But I wont let you near,begging for you to understand,
The fear that lives in my soul which is an untouched spring
Read, what is written on the silent mouth,
What is written in the soul,
For which is written in the shining silence,
We all have to read
My body will be bent from the burdens,
When the shaking floor of life force,
Reveals it's chasm underneath,
If only one could be two steps ahead
But I want it all
What privillege do we get under the sun,
That gives us the right to the throne
Species come and go,but the earth stands forever fast,
All river runs towards the sea, but the sea is never full,
To discover the loneliness, and to be proud to show the wounds,
Will forever wander alone through the years?
But I wont let you near,begging for you to understand,
The fear that lives in my soul which is an untouched spring
Read, what is written on the silent mouth,
What is written in the soul,
For which is written in the shining silence,
We all have to read
My body will be bent from the burdens,
When the shaking floor of life force,
Reveals it's chasm underneath,
If only one could be two steps ahead

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
The song starts off questioning the "right to the throne" which "we", the humans, take for ourselves. The author does not exclude himself from this criticism, because he himself "want[s] it all".
Then, the next stanca seems to be a description of evolution - the picture of the river running into the sea fits quite nicely: evolution is an ongoing stream of creatures and species who slowly mutate, die out or become. The "fast" standing earth builds a strong contrast to all this dynamic movement. This is really a relativation of man's position in nature.
The third stanca is where things become a bit fuzzy, I think. The "lonliness" is a very important part of the song - it corresponds to the "silence" and the "untouched spring" mentioned in the refrain. Men are said to be wandering "alone through the years" and maybe the author points to the strength every human pretends to have - nobody likes to "show his wounds", i.e. to reveal his weakness.
Still, the refrain cries for the listener to read "what is written in the soul", to "understand" the authors inner conflict, his "burdens", but without getting "near": the author is himself not able to show his weakness, he is also human.
There is the wish to be "two steps ahead" - even more than just in the future, but really far ahead, leaving all the worldly pain behind. Death is not really seen in a negative way here - rather the time before death, because his body, the material part of his life, "will be bent from the burdens", so maybe there is even a positive view to death and a wish for what will be afterwards.
