This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Our Eyes are bleeding
Courtesy of everything
That you could ever want to hide
Our veins are dry
Sometimes the truth cuts deeper
Than the sharpest knife, yeah
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around
We just survive
Too busy occupied with dying
To stop and consider life
So many pretty, pretty pictures
On the walls and on your fingertips, well
Let's sew the borders 'round it
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're bleeding down
Ain't no way to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I need, I need, I need, I need
Just one more thing
To be completely blinded
Shoot it up, shoot it in, bleeding
All this callous skin
In a way, I've been feeling incomplete
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem, everyone
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
Now I know real love is for free
Courtesy of everything
That you could ever want to hide
Our veins are dry
Sometimes the truth cuts deeper
Than the sharpest knife, yeah
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around
We just survive
Too busy occupied with dying
To stop and consider life
So many pretty, pretty pictures
On the walls and on your fingertips, well
Let's sew the borders 'round it
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're bleeding down
Ain't no way to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I need, I need, I need, I need
Just one more thing
To be completely blinded
Shoot it up, shoot it in, bleeding
All this callous skin
In a way, I've been feeling incomplete
Losing is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long-term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
'Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long-term problem, everyone
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Oh-oh-oh
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
So define lonely
Innocence is way overrated now
Choking this sober feeling down
Well, I guess you've come over me
Now I know real love is for free

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
What im getting is that he's struggling with his own mortality. We are just temporary being and if that's the case and we have know idea if anything we do is leading to anything, then why try. He just feels beaten down by the realities of life and chases it down with drugs and religion and all those things that we as people do to distract ourselves from the harsh reality.
It's like everyday there are people wasting their lives doing mundane tasks just to get by and even though we all know deep down how we might get to a place where the love is free we just see obstackles and decide instead to pitter around with any distraction we can.
