This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The lights are off
The wind blows the falling snow
It’s matched by the sound of your breath
And the tremor of your hands
As I’m seated by your bed
Attempting to find the right words to leave the room with
And I don’t know what I believe
As you clutch your rosary beads
All these years, they’re laid out in an evening
With the opening of your eyes
All these things rush through my mind
But the only thing I can say is that which I’m certain…
So sleep, if your tired eyes are closing
Don’t be afraid anymore
Just sleep, if you’re tired of fighting
Let it be peaceful tonight
I’m sorry for all the times
I was selfish and unkind
All these years that I’ve had with you and this is what I’m left with
With the closing of your eyes
All these things clog up my mind
But the only thing we said was that which mattered most
So sleep, if your tired eyes are closing
Don’t be afraid anymore
Just sleep, if you’re tired of fighting
Let it be peaceful tonight
Sleep well
Goodnight, Goodbye
With the lights still off
I study your frail body
And what all these living days has left you with
With your breath across the room
And my hand upon the door
I realize then, that the hardest part will always be leaving
Sleep well
Goodnight, Goodbye.
The wind blows the falling snow
It’s matched by the sound of your breath
And the tremor of your hands
As I’m seated by your bed
Attempting to find the right words to leave the room with
And I don’t know what I believe
As you clutch your rosary beads
All these years, they’re laid out in an evening
With the opening of your eyes
All these things rush through my mind
But the only thing I can say is that which I’m certain…
So sleep, if your tired eyes are closing
Don’t be afraid anymore
Just sleep, if you’re tired of fighting
Let it be peaceful tonight
I’m sorry for all the times
I was selfish and unkind
All these years that I’ve had with you and this is what I’m left with
With the closing of your eyes
All these things clog up my mind
But the only thing we said was that which mattered most
So sleep, if your tired eyes are closing
Don’t be afraid anymore
Just sleep, if you’re tired of fighting
Let it be peaceful tonight
Sleep well
Goodnight, Goodbye
With the lights still off
I study your frail body
And what all these living days has left you with
With your breath across the room
And my hand upon the door
I realize then, that the hardest part will always be leaving
Sleep well
Goodnight, Goodbye.

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.
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.
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.
