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.
You don't know me, but I see you
You got your spot light, I got my rear-view
I've seen it all before
I keep coming back for more
You got your finger on the trigger
You got my heart hooked, line, and sinker
It happens every time
You keep messing with my mind
Is it good for you?
Is it good for me?
Yeah it's good for everybody
I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
And everybody wants some, wants some
You got your hardcore, x-rated
You got your dance floor, it's complicated
I've seen it all before
I keep coming back for more
Cause it's good for you
Is it good for me?
Yeah it's good for everybody
I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
And everybody wants some, wants some
I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
And I'm not going to give up, give up, give up
Miracles and fairy tales
The devil's in the small details
I need you know more than before
I know you got the right stuff, right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
Everybody wants some, wants some
You got your spot light, I got my rear-view
I've seen it all before
I keep coming back for more
You got your finger on the trigger
You got my heart hooked, line, and sinker
It happens every time
You keep messing with my mind
Is it good for you?
Is it good for me?
Yeah it's good for everybody
I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
And everybody wants some, wants some
You got your hardcore, x-rated
You got your dance floor, it's complicated
I've seen it all before
I keep coming back for more
Cause it's good for you
Is it good for me?
Yeah it's good for everybody
I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
And everybody wants some, wants some
I know you got the right stuff, the right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
And I'm not going to give up, give up, give up
Miracles and fairy tales
The devil's in the small details
I need you know more than before
I know you got the right stuff, right stuff
You're loaded like a weapon, a weapon
Everybody wants some, wants some

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.
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.
It should be: "You got your hardcore, X-rated. You've got your dance floor, it's complicated. I've seen it all before. I keep coming back for more." and "Miracles and fairy-tales The devil in the small details I need you now more than before"
As to "You've got your finger on the trigger You've got your highlights on the [?] It happens everytime You're messing with my mind"
It sounds like "You've got your finger on the trigger. You've got my heart hooked, line and sinker. It happens everytime You're messing with my mind"
but i'm not sure about the last part
