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”
We were designed for more.
in an image not our own.
but we've fallen short.
i'm quite speechless and was quite unaware.
of what the capabilities of a weak heart are.
we're cast away.
it'll run through the back of your head until you regain control again.
the sleep lost on these thoughts wasn't worth the time.
we're cast away until we regain control again.
this year of you held near or not at all.
it wasn't worth the wait.
we're all cast away.
we were designed for more.
in an image not our own.
but we've fallen short.
we were so close.
it's just not worth it to stay in this state.
it's just not worth it to keep it.
it's just not worth it to let it go.
i believe in a better condition. i
n one that i have yet to attain.
i believe in a better love.
in one that has yet to change.
the love that i feel from my brothers is the sun in the sky.
i will find my condition in that which is unconditional.
conversation conversation.
ours are never.
you are ever so convincing.
they'll get better.
it's just not worth it to stay in this state.
i believe in a better condition.
in one i have yet to attain.
i believe in a better love.
in one that has yet to change.
fill me with faith. i won't be cast away
in an image not our own.
but we've fallen short.
i'm quite speechless and was quite unaware.
of what the capabilities of a weak heart are.
we're cast away.
it'll run through the back of your head until you regain control again.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Without a doubt one of the best bands I've heard in a while. Think I've listened to the Dreams EP like forty times over.
what I get from this song is... its not worth it to be depressed over someone when you have your friends and that edventually find someone. omg i love this band!!!!!
I'm with you Nomercy. I seriously cannot get tired of these songs.
I think this song is talking about gods creation of man "We were designed for more. In an image not our own." Man was created in Gods image but we sinned "But we've fallen short." Then I think the chorus is talking about heaven and Gods love "I believe in a better condition. In one I have yet to attain. I believe in a better love. In one that has yet to change." Also throughout the song theres alot of other lines that talk about mans sin and gods forgiviness. I would go more in depth but I dont have time right now great band though and awesome song!
the truth is in the puddin <br /> <br /> totally what i got from this song all of their music is just so overwhelmingly emotional without being pouty about it and not to mention up lifting
I respectfully disagree with you. In my opinion, these lyrics reflect Buddhist beliefs much more than Christian beliefs. "We were designed for more. In an image not of our own." possibly reflects the belief that this world and our life is simply a projection and that we are meant to rise to a higher state. I think this song is trying to say that our true "Condition" is the buddha state which is attained through enlightnement, put into their words, "I believe in a better conditon, in one i have yet to attain." <br /> <br /> On the other hand we could both be completely incorrect, because WCAR has recently confirmed that they are not a Christian/Religious band, but are commonly tagged as one due to them being a hardcore band with positive lyrics.
