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.
I'm tired of this, do I exist?
I'm a ghost and I've been pacing the halls
I'm tired of it
You remind how I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down and it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
I'm tired and sick, I feel haunted
I remember when I knew who I was
Before the fall
You remind how I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down and it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
When I drown, save me
I'm sinking deep, save me
I'm sinking deep, save me
You remind how I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down and it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Save me now
You're the only thing that can save me now
I'm a ghost and I've been pacing the halls
I'm tired of it
You remind how I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down and it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
I'm tired and sick, I feel haunted
I remember when I knew who I was
Before the fall
You remind how I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down and it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
When I drown, save me
I'm sinking deep, save me
I'm sinking deep, save me
You remind how I begin to drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Life has pushed me down and it let me drown
You're the only thing that can save me now
Save me now
You're the only thing that can save me now

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
This is a great song...
