How We Kill Ourselves

The Lyndsay Diaries

We all have our simple ways of killing ourselves and this is yours.
Denying it all by covering it up.
You were never the best at smiling.
So stay up all night.
Just to say you are tired.
I think I'll stay in tonight.
I can't help to think thoughts of home.
I miss the chairs at the coffee shop
Doing nothing for five minutes and talking for hours.
Conversation never ran dry.
We all have our simple ways of killing our thoughts
And this is yours and I have mine.

Amazing
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
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.
