This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
The legend brings forth a time to come
No reason to slay the newborn son
The sky is falling
No escape Armageddon
The sky is burning
The end is just the beginning
Burning dead send swirling victims
Ending
Lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Invasions dark armies armed with hate
An ancient world rises once again
Eradication of the mind
Beginning of the end
No escape Armageddon
Ending lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Burning dead send swirling victims
Ending
Lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
No reason to slay the newborn son
The sky is falling
No escape Armageddon
The sky is burning
The end is just the beginning
Burning dead send swirling victims
Ending
Lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Invasions dark armies armed with hate
An ancient world rises once again
Eradication of the mind
Beginning of the end
No escape Armageddon
Ending lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Burning dead send swirling victims
Ending
Lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end

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.
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.
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.
What is this a forum? You're supposed to convery how the lyrics make you feel, what they mean to you, not whether or not the band sounds like a new Iron Maiden, which I might add, they don't.
Anyway...
they actually kinda do... <br /> <br /> anyway great song by a awesome band<br /> <br /> also he says "of the mind" not mankind lol
