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.
Far to long now I have been waiting
Waiting for something just to happen
Far too long now I have been thinking
Ive been thinkin' you've got the answer to...
...The question is do you feel like your letting go?
The question is do you feel like you've lost control?
Always waiting
Always faking
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
Far to long now I have been waiting
Waiting for something just to happen
Far too long now I have been thinking
Ive been thinkin you've got the answer to...
...The question is do you feel like your letting go?
The question is do you feel like you've lost control?
Always waiting
Always faking
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
Waiting for something just to happen
Far too long now I have been thinking
Ive been thinkin' you've got the answer to...
...The question is do you feel like your letting go?
The question is do you feel like you've lost control?
Always waiting
Always faking
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
Far to long now I have been waiting
Waiting for something just to happen
Far too long now I have been thinking
Ive been thinkin you've got the answer to...
...The question is do you feel like your letting go?
The question is do you feel like you've lost control?
Always waiting
Always faking
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
This is how it goes, This is how it goes
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive
You and me aren't thinking the same way
And I'm so used to getting my own way
That I'm burning us down tonight
And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive

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”

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.
No one's commented on this yet? Seriously?
Well I think this song is about a fight between the narrator and some other person (girlfriend, parent, friend, etc)
"You and me aren't thinking the same way And I'm so used to getting my own way That I'm burning us down tonight And I swear that no-one is getting out of here alive"
No one's commented it yet becuase you've got the wrong band. This is by some foreign band called "Attack Attack!", whereas the american industrial group is called "Attack! Attack!" There actually is a difference.
