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”
You're blind, baby
You're blind from the facts on who you are
'Cause you're watchin' that garbage
The woman makes the men all pause
And if you got a woman
She might make you forget yours
There's a 5 letter word
To describe her character
But her brains being washed by an actor
And every real man that tries to approach
Come the closer he comes
He gets dissed like a roach
I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
Yo baby, you got to cut that garbage off
Yo! I want to watch the game
Hey yo, lemme tell you a little somethin'
Im'a take all your soaps
And then I'm gonna hang 'em on a rope
You know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause that garbage your watchin' don't make no sense
Hey yo, lemme tell you a little somethin' baby
I'm 'a take your set an' I'm 'a throw it
Out the window
G's
Two, seven, five, four, eight
She watched she said
All added up to zero
And nothing in her head
She turns and turns
And she hopes the soaps
Are for real, she learns
That it ain't true, nope
But she won't survive
And rather die in a lie
Falls a fool, for some dude, on a tube
I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
Yo baby, you think I'm jokin'?
Do it look like I'm jokin'?
I ain't jokin', word up, baby
Yo, cut that garbage off now
Yo, I got the Tyson fight on, you know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, so you can't be comin' here and stagnating like that
You know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, we gettin' ready to watch the Super Bowl
We got a black quarterback so step back
Trouble vision for a sister
'Cause I know she don't know, I quote
Her brains retrained
By a 24 inch remote
Revolution a solution
For all of our children
But her children
Don't mean as much as the show, I mean
Watch her worship the screen, and fiend
For a TV ad
And it just makes me mad
I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
Yo baby, can't you that's nonsense you watchin'?
Look, don't nobody look like that
Nobody even live that, you know what I'm sayin'?
You watchin' garbage, nothin' but garbage
Straight up garbage
Yo, why don't you just back up from the TV
Read a book or somthin'
Read about yourself
Learn your culture, you know what I'm sayin'?
You're blind from the facts on who you are
'Cause you're watchin' that garbage
The woman makes the men all pause
And if you got a woman
She might make you forget yours
There's a 5 letter word
To describe her character
But her brains being washed by an actor
And every real man that tries to approach
Come the closer he comes
He gets dissed like a roach
I don't think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin' for that hero
She watch channel zero
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
She watch, she watch
Yo baby, you got to cut that garbage off
Yo! I want to watch the game
Hey yo, lemme tell you a little somethin'
Im'a take all your soaps
And then I'm gonna hang 'em on a rope
You know what I'm sayin'?

Hey yo, lemme tell you a little somethin' baby

Ed Sheeran
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.
The song is about a woman obsessed with watching soap operas on the tv 24/7. She's so obsessed with the guy on the tube; therefore, she won't pay attention to her man...hence, the channels she's watching could be named "Channel Zero."
