This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
All these rats are swimmin' for the land
They ain't goin' down with the captain
Same old rats that took a bite outa' me
Darling way back when
The word was mutiny
Nothin' but a raft to carry
Me and my girl
They just wrote us off
'Til we turned up blazing torches on their docks well…
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
And the same goes for those who underestimate
Said the love of my life was just another blind date
You know I hardly had a single word edgewise
Before the true believers started to drop like flies
But I don't see 'em out parading arm in arm
I see 'em dodging cars in harm's way
You think with so many words of wisdom
They could fill up a library
But one night I'd have to burn it down
One night I'd have to burn it down
One night I'd have to burn it down
I can think of at least
Fourteen ways to disappear
No I don't need to be told when it's plain as day I'm in the minority here
But why should all the horrible people have all the cheer
Blue green grass is standing somewhere still
I know it is even if it's over landfill
I got to think that there's still a tiny patch
To raise some hens and watch those chickens hatch
Browsing through the almanac I watch the stars
They plummet now and then
And I'm waiting for a flamin' shoe to drop on us again
One night gonna' burn it down
One night we're gonna' burn it down
We're gonna' burn it burn it burn it burn it down
They ain't goin' down with the captain
Same old rats that took a bite outa' me
Darling way back when
The word was mutiny
Nothin' but a raft to carry
Me and my girl
They just wrote us off
'Til we turned up blazing torches on their docks well…
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
And the same goes for those who underestimate
Said the love of my life was just another blind date
You know I hardly had a single word edgewise
Before the true believers started to drop like flies
But I don't see 'em out parading arm in arm
I see 'em dodging cars in harm's way
You think with so many words of wisdom
They could fill up a library
But one night I'd have to burn it down
One night I'd have to burn it down
One night I'd have to burn it down
I can think of at least
Fourteen ways to disappear
No I don't need to be told when it's plain as day I'm in the minority here
But why should all the horrible people have all the cheer
Blue green grass is standing somewhere still
I know it is even if it's over landfill
I got to think that there's still a tiny patch
To raise some hens and watch those chickens hatch
Browsing through the almanac I watch the stars
They plummet now and then
And I'm waiting for a flamin' shoe to drop on us again
One night gonna' burn it down
One night we're gonna' burn it down
We're gonna' burn it burn it burn it burn it down

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”

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.

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.
