This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The arizona sky
The sky is bigger there
It took my breath away
That doesn't happen every day
Manhattan's music, man
On every avenue
You've heard no greater sound
Too much can get you down
Decorate, paint it for the union
No reson to give up on the illusion
Take confident possession of yourself
No reson to give up on the illusion
Venice is sinking fast
Looks almost upside down
Under a spell we fell
There's more, too much to tell
Decorate, paint it for the union
No reson to give up on the illusion
Take confident possession of yourself
No reson to give up on the illusion
Uptown in (?)
Beneath chicago moon
Spend every dollar saved
As much as we have made
The sky is bigger there
It took my breath away
That doesn't happen every day
Manhattan's music, man
On every avenue
You've heard no greater sound
Too much can get you down
Decorate, paint it for the union
No reson to give up on the illusion
Take confident possession of yourself
No reson to give up on the illusion
Venice is sinking fast
Looks almost upside down
Under a spell we fell
There's more, too much to tell
Decorate, paint it for the union
No reson to give up on the illusion
Take confident possession of yourself
No reson to give up on the illusion
Uptown in (?)
Beneath chicago moon
Spend every dollar saved
As much as we have made

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

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Possibly a kind of ode to the United States by a band touring from the UK, recounting the highlights of their time in the U.S. From the amazing sky in Arizona, to the amazing music on the streets of Manhattan, to a (brothel? bar? nightclub?) in uptown Chicago where they overspent.
"Venice is sinking fast" may be alluding to the fact that they enjoyed Venice, but that it paled in comparison to the excitements to be found in America. "Decorate, paint if for the union" may mean, "paint the scene" of their experiences of America, for the "union" in this case being listeners back home in the United Kingdom, the union of Britain, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In this vein, "Take comfort and possession of yourself" and "No reason to give up on the illusion", are possibly self-affirmations along the lines of, "We can make it here", "We can maintain the illusion of being exotic British rockers", even though we really have imposter syndrome in the face of all this wonder.
Not sure of the song meaning, but having been in Arizona many times there is no doubt that the sky is incredible - it seems to go on forever. I know that sounds ridiculous - how can it be different than the sky anywhere else - but it just is.
@fenwicksfather yes, the band were once on tour with Santana in the 1980s, and whilst driving through Arizona at night, their bus driver stopped and showed them the stars…
