Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Every day I recognize
What's deceased and what's alive
But don't repeat what I just said
Until gold has turned to lead
Then all the tales will be told
Whilst you and I are in the cold
But don't think this is the end
'Cause it's just begun, my friend
When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
For every tear cried in shame
There'll be someone else to blame
And every crime that I commit
There'll be a punishment to fit
But I'd accept what's coming round
If I could only lose this sound
That's been ringing in my ears
And tormenting me for years
When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
What's deceased and what's alive
But don't repeat what I just said
Until gold has turned to lead
Then all the tales will be told
Whilst you and I are in the cold
But don't think this is the end
'Cause it's just begun, my friend
When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
For every tear cried in shame
There'll be someone else to blame
And every crime that I commit
There'll be a punishment to fit
But I'd accept what's coming round
If I could only lose this sound
That's been ringing in my ears
And tormenting me for years
When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on
Just find the feeling
Pass it on

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
Gotta be my favourite song that the Coral have released. Pretty self explanatory lyrics I think!
i think that instead of "until boulders turn to lead" it should be "until gold has turned to lead" Alchemists used to try to turn lead to gold so the imagery fits
I think this song is an obvious life plan sort of song. "And all the tales will be told Whilst you and I are in the cold But don't think this is the end 'Cause it's just begun my friend" We miss out on things we would have loved but it doesn't matter "it's just begun"
For every tear cried in shame There'll be someone else to blame And every crime that I commit There'll be a punishment to fit I think the first two lines are confusing, in this seemingly ideal song there's the idea of passing the blame onto someone else for your "shame". However the second couplet seems to fix this because you're going to be punished for your crimes and mistakes. The fact that these two contradict each other confuses me though
And I'd accept what's coming round If I could only lose this sound That's been ringing in my ears And tormenting me for years For this verse I automatically thought of the song by Florence and the Machine "Drumming Song". In that song "drumming" is a clear metaphor for love. I think perhaps the "sound" in this song is also a metaphor for love, perhaps he's wanting to lose the feeling of being in love with someone so that he can just live his life in his way. Or perhaps it's the opposite and he wants to give up on feelings of hate so that he can "find this feeling".
I love this song, I've been thinking of getting a tattoo from this song for years
he could be referring to a spliff or a real feeling. it's something that takes you away from whatevr it is anyway. i love it acshelly. I can imagine if i was ina film and i was sat round a campfire on a beach at night with a load of friends and this playing in the background.
boulders turn to lead?!!!!! what the hell does that mean? check the lyrics on the inside of the album and youll see its "gold has turned to lead" as it should be. boulders turn to lead is well stupid you divvy
i like it it makes me happy n it gets me thikin abt life n how i hurt ppl dnt no y tho :S:S any cluse ?? class song tho ma second favorite ma 1sts the thrills big sur dats class 2
This song is nice....does anyone know the lyrics for In the Morning? Coz they're not up on this site yet, and I wanted to comment on it...
It deff is boulders not gold
That comment would look rather strange out of context, i must use it in a conversation
this song is about stds no dobout about it just listen to the lyrics
