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”
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
feels alright when i drink to blur the day into the night
and blustery nights in through the rain
it's all aone that i am singing this anguish to you
and you're to blame
i'm still the same, i'm still the same
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
feels alright when i drink to blur the day into the night
in lovely hour and in the room it's into bloom
that i have called your flower for me
and i'm to blame
you're still the same, you're still the same
raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
up girl and be glad you were not born a man
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
and like a star that i have chosen for me
and i have placed one eye on the sky
the sky's the same
the moon's to blame, the moon's to blame
raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
up man and be glad you were not born a god
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
(repeat until end)
feels alright when i drink to blur the day into the night
and blustery nights in through the rain
it's all aone that i am singing this anguish to you
and you're to blame
i'm still the same, i'm still the same
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
feels alright when i drink to blur the day into the night
in lovely hour and in the room it's into bloom
that i have called your flower for me
and i'm to blame
you're still the same, you're still the same
raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
up girl and be glad you were not born a man
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
and like a star that i have chosen for me
and i have placed one eye on the sky
the sky's the same
the moon's to blame, the moon's to blame
raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
up man and be glad you were not born a god
sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
(repeat until end)

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I haven't been able to find any official sources for the lyrics to this song, but this is how I hear it:
Sounds so wrong, but I need to fake the will to get along Feels all right when I drink to blur the day into the night In blustery nights and through the rain, it's all alone That I have sang this anguish to you And you're to blame; I'm still the same I'm still the same
Sounds so wrong, but I need to fake the will to get along Feels all right when I drink to blur the day into the night In lovely hour and in the room, it's into bloom That I have coaxed your flower for me And I'm to blame; you're still the same You're still the same
Raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man Up girl and be glad you were not born a man
Sounds so wrong, but I need to fake the will to get along Sounds so wrong, but I need to fake the will to get along And like a star that I have chose to stand for me And I have placed one eye on the sky The sky's the same; the moon's to blame The moon's to blame
Raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man Up man and be glad you were not born a god
I'm so wrong, but I need to fake the will to get along Sounds so wrong, but I need to fake the will to get along Sounds so wrong, but I need to fake the will to get along...
