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”
So, so, so scandalous
You know you wanna sing with us (baby)
That's why you know you should be scared of us (baby)
Nonstop looks to kill
Straight talk sex appeal
One touch gives me chills and we ain't even close yet
Rough neck all around
Inkin' all over town
Show me how you get down
'Cause we ain't even close yet
You got me feenin' and you got me feelin' weak
Listen as I speak 'cause I'm careful as I creep
You got me goin' crazy and you know I can't sleep
Love watchin' your moves and you hypnotize me
You got me tremblin' like a little baby girl
You're so special, you're like diamonds and pearls
You got me spinnin' and you got me in a twirl
You're my number one, baby, and you come to rock my world
You're dangerous
Just get it up
The way you move so scandalous
It's all about the two of us
A one night stand just ain't enough
I need some stimulation, baby
A little conversation maybe
You got me spinnin' out like crazy
There goes my baby
Scandalous
So scandalous (baby)
Scandalous
So, so, so scandalous
Hot stuff, head to toe
Where you go, no one knows
You smile playin' it dumb and we ain't even close yet
Solid as a rock
How many ways can you hit the spot?
Show me what you got 'cause we ain't even close yet
You got me feenin' and you got me feelin' weak
Listen as I speak 'cause I'm careful as I creep
You got me goin' crazy and you know I can't sleep
Love watchin' your moves and you hypnotize me
You got me tremblin' like a little baby girl
You're so special, you're like diamonds and pearls
You got me spinnin' and you got me in a twirl
You're my number one, baby, and you come to rock my world
You're dangerous
Just get it up
The way you move so scandalous
It's all about the two of us
A one night stand just ain't enough
I need some stimulation, baby
A little conversation maybe
You got me spinnin' out like crazy
There goes my baby
Scandalous (baby)
So scandalous
Scandalous (baby)
So, so, so scandalous
A little conversation

Show a little patience
That you are here to stay
So show me that you're game, oh

The way you move so scandalous
It's all about the two of us
A one night stand just ain't enough

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.
Page

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
