This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
out of the fog comes a huddled shape
cloaked head to toe in crimson flowing robes
it hunts, kills, eats
unseen in sickening mists of night, some evils lurking in the gloom
voracious hunting appetite and piercing demon eyes
a mandrake sets upon its prey, slashing mangled claws
soulstealer strangling terror, in crimson cloak it kills
mortals who cross the path
the phantom hunts and kills
with a swift ferocity
the demons carcass strikes
death is his way, dare not to cross his path in fright
captured by its frozen stare, your body drained of essence
predator of the pure in heart, sending all their soulds to hell
there is no escape from here, phantom horror attack
he must feed
on innocent human flesh
to hold the madness at bay
that torments his eternal march
death is his way, dare not cross his path
the phantom of the crimson cloak stalks the dark and silent night
an ancient corpse
hes trod this worn path
many forlorn years
aeons yet to come
death is his way, dare not cross his path
the phantom of the crimson stalks the dark and silent night
cloaked head to toe in crimson flowing robes
it hunts, kills, eats
unseen in sickening mists of night, some evils lurking in the gloom
voracious hunting appetite and piercing demon eyes
a mandrake sets upon its prey, slashing mangled claws
soulstealer strangling terror, in crimson cloak it kills
mortals who cross the path
the phantom hunts and kills
with a swift ferocity
the demons carcass strikes
death is his way, dare not to cross his path in fright
captured by its frozen stare, your body drained of essence
predator of the pure in heart, sending all their soulds to hell
there is no escape from here, phantom horror attack
he must feed
on innocent human flesh
to hold the madness at bay
that torments his eternal march
death is his way, dare not cross his path
the phantom of the crimson cloak stalks the dark and silent night
an ancient corpse
hes trod this worn path
many forlorn years
aeons yet to come
death is his way, dare not cross his path
the phantom of the crimson stalks the dark and silent night

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”

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.
Amazing

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.

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.
Great song, love the chorus i think this song has a meaning similar to the phantom of the opera concept except hes not in a theatre maybe a forest/park
Just recently started getting more into this band. But this song kind of reminds me of the movie the Village or some mythical banshees or something
