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.
It’s love at first sight, I saw her turn right
I saw her heading right for the aisle with ripened apples
I stole a glance as she sorted through her bag but she caught me
Come on, stop being such a pussy . . .
I gotta move closer, go hide by the grocer
Examining naval oranges as I adore her
I know it’s coy, but hey that’s not the point
I can’t help it, and oh man . . .
If you only knew half the things I wanna do
Let’s trade this store for the silence of my room
This is the story of my life
This isn’t healthy, but it’s something
And it’s all that i can get
I saw her heading right for the aisle with ripened apples
I stole a glance as she sorted through her bag but she caught me
Come on, stop being such a pussy . . .
I gotta move closer, go hide by the grocer
Examining naval oranges as I adore her
I know it’s coy, but hey that’s not the point
I can’t help it, and oh man . . .
If you only knew half the things I wanna do
Let’s trade this store for the silence of my room
This is the story of my life
This isn’t healthy, but it’s something
And it’s all that i can get

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.
It's about a guy who works at a grocery store and is following a really beautiful girl. sometimes he talks to himself, like "stop being such a pussy".
then in the song where he actually is talking, he's arguing with himself to get the nerve to go up and talk to her ("there she is, say hello!"), but then she leaves before he can do anything because he's soo caught up in his thoughts.
I love this song. He likes her, sees her around, and keeps trying to get the nerve to go talk to her. I thought it was a good song, alos pretty funny.
this song is so adorable. it makes me smile ^_^
