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.
There's so much I want to say now
But it's too late I know
There's no way to heal these wounds now
And my heart bleeds for you
And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me
[Chorus]
So I wanted you to know
That I finally let you go
After all I've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that I know
Is I've finally let you go
Yesterday you were my best friend
But tomorrow took you away
There's not much for me to say now
Just goodbye, farewell
And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me
[Chorus]
And every time I close my eyes
My heart is bleeding deep inside
But now my eyes are open
And I'm never gonna be the one for you
The one for you
[Chorus]
I finally let you go
Let you go
Let you go so this is my goodbye to you
But it's too late I know
There's no way to heal these wounds now
And my heart bleeds for you
And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me
[Chorus]
So I wanted you to know
That I finally let you go
After all I've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that I know
Is I've finally let you go
Yesterday you were my best friend
But tomorrow took you away
There's not much for me to say now
Just goodbye, farewell
And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me
[Chorus]
And every time I close my eyes
My heart is bleeding deep inside
But now my eyes are open
And I'm never gonna be the one for you
The one for you
[Chorus]
I finally let you go
Let you go
Let you go so this is my goodbye to 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

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.
This song makes me cry a lot. He's saying that after so long he finally let go of his ex, and at the same time he doesn't want to let her go but he knows that he would never be the one for her so he kinda has no choice
