In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Don't leave me now
I must confess
Haven't been the worst
Haven't been the best
Since you came
Don't take me now
I must confess
Found the word digress
And made it a home
Don't leave me now
I must confess
Haven't been the worst
Haven't been the best
Since you came
It's all the same
It's all the same
Don't take me now
I must confess
Found the wor(d digress
And made it a home
It's all the same
It's all the same
Don't come try to find me now
I must confess
Holes in the plot rearrange themselves
with all the rest
Holes in the story
Holes in myself x 3
I must confess
Haven't been the worst
Haven't been the best
Since you came
Don't take me now
I must confess
Found the word digress
And made it a home
Don't leave me now
I must confess
Haven't been the worst
Haven't been the best
Since you came
It's all the same
It's all the same
Don't take me now
I must confess
Found the wor(d digress
And made it a home
It's all the same
It's all the same
Don't come try to find me now
I must confess
Holes in the plot rearrange themselves
with all the rest
Holes in the story
Holes in myself x 3

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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Love this and wish I could told something like that to my lover at the end. Though I doubt. I've always thought it was a break up / heartbroken song. English isn't my mother tongue and while posting the lyrics (btw, a verse's missing, if someone knows...), I read a review where the reporter was talking about a death song. Does it make sense to any of you ? Obviously, there're some verses that cold be understood this way. I'm more for the heartbroken version but I like the idea of the song being ambigous.

@ Wood : Thanks ! <br /> @ Germone : Still "haven't been the worse" makes sense in a break up song. At least to me ! ;-)
To me this makes more sense as a song about death, cause i thought the "haven't been the worst" wouldn't make sense if they were breaking up. but now it makes sense and it sounds like he is rethinking his behaviour and how careless he was not appreciating the time they had together so he wants the person not to die so he has a second chance. now this song makes me cry.
