This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Lead in night at the laundry mat
And I'm staring at you pulling clothes from a dryer
And I'm wondering how I got here
But it seems some how I keep getting stuck in the mire
I needed this more than you I knew
And I let you down and I said I'm sorry
But the light that falls on my castle walls
And my basketballs pelt me with bricks in my dreams
Tonight
Oh, maybe
What you need I hope it finds you
Oh, I might
I might be
Well, maybe
Maybe someday you'll get it right
If I could bottle my hopes in a store bought scent
They'd be nutmeg peach and they'd pay the rent
And I'd ride a horse, and I'd teach a course
On how I got to be a star crossed pimp
Tonight
Oh, maybe
What you need I hope it finds you
Oh, I might
I might be
Well, maybe
Maybe someday you'll get it right
And I'm staring at you pulling clothes from a dryer
And I'm wondering how I got here
But it seems some how I keep getting stuck in the mire
I needed this more than you I knew
And I let you down and I said I'm sorry
But the light that falls on my castle walls
And my basketballs pelt me with bricks in my dreams
Tonight
Oh, maybe
What you need I hope it finds you
Oh, I might
I might be
Well, maybe
Maybe someday you'll get it right
If I could bottle my hopes in a store bought scent
They'd be nutmeg peach and they'd pay the rent
And I'd ride a horse, and I'd teach a course
On how I got to be a star crossed pimp
Tonight
Oh, maybe
What you need I hope it finds you
Oh, I might
I might be
Well, maybe
Maybe someday you'll get it right

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about self esteem and for those who like me, lack it. We are too afraid to approach and makes things happen so instead of doing anything, we just sit back and watch the "pretty girl at the laundromat" and wonder what would happen if maybe, we could speak up.
My fav line is the Star Crossed Pimp. Stephan is a lyrical genius, Kanye can go fuck himself.
i cant believe no one has posted on this! this song rocks. but anyway..i have no idea what it means! the best part is "i'd ride a horse and i'd teach a course on how i got to be a starcrossed pimp!"
yeah, i totally love this song! its so cool. NOT sure what it's totally about . I think its my favorite song on teh cd. I mean its just all there, lyrically and instrumental. Wow.. i love it! I think its about hooking up with a girl, and him being the right guy "maybe"
awsome song
This song is about a guy who cannot commit to a relationship eventhough he knows that it is good for him. I especially like the line "If I could bottle my hopes in a store bought scent. They'd be nutmeg peach and they'd pay the rent."
Chaosfluro makes a good point. For me though, this song is really more about how someone can be timid and unsure of what to do, especially concerning women. I think the line about the "starcrossed pimp" really means that there a ton of girls that like him, but he doesn't know what to do about it. Maybe someday he'll get it right. Pretty much me in a nutshell.
This song has a fricken awesome chorus! It gets me every time! I love listening to this song cause it's so catchy and the lyrics are pretty clever, like most of the stuff Stephen Jenkins writes.
it's about a guy who is afraid to commit to anything because he's afraid he's going to fail. he's living a sort of wild life, and just doesn't think he'll ever be the kind of guy she needs.
I also think this song is about a guy who's want to be with this girl but is afraid to commit. "And I let you down and I said I'm sorry/But the light, it falls on my castle walls" He's built a wall around himself and feels threatened or scared that this girl has this effect on him. I think they have had a relationship in the past and when they'd sleep together he refused to spend the night "No you never say goodnight," and he's having trouble making up his mind to commit fully to this girl or continue to cop out. He's secure in saying maybe forever, never having to actually decide: "an ode to maybe"
actually i can relate to this song, i can never commit to one girl, and 'maybe' is usually my reply to most things that i should commit to. TxBxS + togatora nailed it right on the head of the nail
