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.
In the eye of the sun before the world had begun
Takin' it easy, I was havin' some fun
Loafin' and a jokin' it was all energy
No such thing as you and or me
No time, you are mine
In the eye of the sun before the world had begun
It had been a lot of work the last time around
Needed a rest, a chance to just lie down
Always on the go, no time to kill
A lot of runnin' to and fro hard working in the mill
So it blew up and I threw up
Into the eye of the sun before the world had begun
Well I hung around, don't know how many years
No more troubles, no more fears
Had a lot of rest with nothing to do
But I got kinda bored with nothin' to do
I wanted flesh and blood, skin and bones
Multidimensional, universal home
I was space and time up and down
Live and dead, blood all around
I knew there'd be trouble, but I could pull through
So I thought of the world and humans too.
Takin' it easy, I was havin' some fun
Loafin' and a jokin' it was all energy
No such thing as you and or me
No time, you are mine
In the eye of the sun before the world had begun
It had been a lot of work the last time around
Needed a rest, a chance to just lie down
Always on the go, no time to kill
A lot of runnin' to and fro hard working in the mill
So it blew up and I threw up
Into the eye of the sun before the world had begun
Well I hung around, don't know how many years
No more troubles, no more fears
Had a lot of rest with nothing to do
But I got kinda bored with nothin' to do
I wanted flesh and blood, skin and bones
Multidimensional, universal home
I was space and time up and down
Live and dead, blood all around
I knew there'd be trouble, but I could pull through
So I thought of the world and humans too.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
first of all this song is so chilled and cool i was hoping someone on here would have some comments about its meaning... but it looks like its just me its obviously about creating the world and human beings but the lyrics leave a lot out about who the main character is who is doing the creating either way i just love the lyrics because they touch upon what life is all about--> energy and truth (the sun?)
The site won't let me submit corrections so here are THE CORRECT LYRICS
