This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
[Best Friend] It's been 10 days
It shouldn't last this long
The doctor’s mystified
Nothing's physically wrong
[Wife] But maybe in his head
he’s struggling to survive
Would it help if we talked to him?
Bring him back to life
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you remember that time?
We were showing off our brand-new flashy bikes
[Wife and Love] You looked so fine
until you both fell over and then started to cry!
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you recall that day?
Fearlessly we climbed the highest tower
[Wife and Love] Then you became afraid
Too scared to climb down, you stayed up there for hours!
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you remember that time?
[Wife and Love] Do you recall that day?
[Wife and Love] Do you remember that time?
Alone at last, naked by the fire
[Best Friend and Pride] Then all your friends came by
They rushed in the room and you had no time to hide
[Wife and Love] Do you recall that day?
You proposed to me and fell down to your knee
[Best Friend and Pride] You didn't know what to say,
so she knelt down too, for she thought you'd lost your keys!
[Wife and Love] Do you remember that time?
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you recall that day?
[Passion] Can you see her light
shining through the black?
She's reaching out to you
What's holding you back?
[Reason] Can you feel her warmth
glowing on your skin?
Don't repress the memories
Let them all in
It shouldn't last this long
The doctor’s mystified
Nothing's physically wrong
[Wife] But maybe in his head
he’s struggling to survive
Would it help if we talked to him?
Bring him back to life
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you remember that time?
We were showing off our brand-new flashy bikes
[Wife and Love] You looked so fine
until you both fell over and then started to cry!
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you recall that day?
Fearlessly we climbed the highest tower
[Wife and Love] Then you became afraid
Too scared to climb down, you stayed up there for hours!
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you remember that time?
[Wife and Love] Do you recall that day?
[Wife and Love] Do you remember that time?
Alone at last, naked by the fire
[Best Friend and Pride] Then all your friends came by
They rushed in the room and you had no time to hide
[Wife and Love] Do you recall that day?
You proposed to me and fell down to your knee
[Best Friend and Pride] You didn't know what to say,
so she knelt down too, for she thought you'd lost your keys!
[Wife and Love] Do you remember that time?
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you recall that day?
[Passion] Can you see her light
shining through the black?
She's reaching out to you
What's holding you back?
[Reason] Can you feel her warmth
glowing on your skin?
Don't repress the memories
Let them all in

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.
American Town

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.
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.
I go back into this album just recently . . . It's different, it kind of makes me think of what it would be like if Pink Floyd had been a really good 80's Metal outfit with some odd folk influences. This song makes me chuckle a little in a sardonic way though:
Wife: But maybe in his head He’s struggling to survive Would it help if we talk to him? Bring him back to life…
I know! Lets reminisce about the most humiliating things we can remember about him! That ought to make him feel better and want to come back!
I suppose it's more of how they look back and think of all the experiences they had to gether, both "Me" and "Best Friend", and "Me" and "Wife", that eventually led up to his future [or his then past].
"Do you recall that day You proposed to me, and fell down to your knees You didn’t know what to say So she knelt down too for she thought you’d lost your keys!"
This is another one of those things I can see happening to me.
Funny lyrics! ^_^
