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”
The driving memories echo hollowly…
No matter how much it continues to draw, it will never fade
The spring's scent hides the scars if you entrust your body to sleep
This land has no end Under the flowing snow You are being colored…
If it wakes up it will disappear, the gentle vertigo
And so being illuminated by the moon I will sleep in the endless dream…
The sun's light begins to blot out memories that have piled up
While I look down many tears are flowing
My fingertips are only frightened
Because you are not here….
Because you are not here….
But I wonder, why can I feel a fleeting worry?
Called out by the season I enter the world of sleep
The eye will close in worry anytime
You were by my side…
You were surely there smiling tenderly for me
The lovely season followed the ripples and gave me love…
The sunbeams that flow in The clear blue sky… being painted by you…
If it wakes up it will disappear, the gentle vertigo
And so being illuminated by the moon I will sleep in the endless dream…
Being shaken by hesitations the memories overflow
However
Is this simply a dream?
Therefore
It does not reach in the fingertips
It does not reach in the smiling face
It does not reach in you
No matter how much it continues to draw, it will never fade
The spring's scent hides the scars if you entrust your body to sleep
This land has no end Under the flowing snow You are being colored…
If it wakes up it will disappear, the gentle vertigo
And so being illuminated by the moon I will sleep in the endless dream…
The sun's light begins to blot out memories that have piled up
While I look down many tears are flowing
My fingertips are only frightened
Because you are not here….
Because you are not here….
But I wonder, why can I feel a fleeting worry?
Called out by the season I enter the world of sleep
The eye will close in worry anytime
You were by my side…
You were surely there smiling tenderly for me
The lovely season followed the ripples and gave me love…
The sunbeams that flow in The clear blue sky… being painted by you…
If it wakes up it will disappear, the gentle vertigo
And so being illuminated by the moon I will sleep in the endless dream…
Being shaken by hesitations the memories overflow
However
Is this simply a dream?
Therefore
It does not reach in the fingertips
It does not reach in the smiling face
It does not reach in you

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.

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.
