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.
Lately i’ve been fooled
Lately i’ve been mislead
Oh, love is trouble
I wish you weren’t so cruel
I wish your words were unsaid
Oh, love is trouble
Everything i learn
I seem to learn in through pain
Oh, love is trouble
For every bridge i burn
My name is taken in vain
Oh, love is trouble
And it feels so cold
Yet it feels like fire
Burning through your soul
When your one desire
Seems so far away
It sure burns like fire
And you’re not ok
When your one desire’s troubling you
I wish i had a guide
I wish i had an answer
Oh, love is trouble
Born with too much pride
I was born a cancer
Oh, love is trouble
Lately i’ve been mislead
Oh, love is trouble
I wish you weren’t so cruel
I wish your words were unsaid
Oh, love is trouble
Everything i learn
I seem to learn in through pain
Oh, love is trouble
For every bridge i burn
My name is taken in vain
Oh, love is trouble
And it feels so cold
Yet it feels like fire
Burning through your soul
When your one desire
Seems so far away
It sure burns like fire
And you’re not ok
When your one desire’s troubling you
I wish i had a guide
I wish i had an answer
Oh, love is trouble
Born with too much pride
I was born a cancer
Oh, love is trouble

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.
I think that the only way to fully appreciate this song is to be able to relate.
I can definitely relate and that's not something I'm happy about. Solid tune.
