This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I just started singing
I didn't know the tune
I finally left the city
I'm a-going to make it back home by June
Upon my late arrival, by the moon light I could see
The the place I left so long ago
Still looked the same to me
And the flowers still alongside
Buttermilk Grove
And something in the air tells me
The corn has just been sowed
I've been on my last subway,
No more neon signs algow
Oh, I'm headed home to Buttermilk Grove
The sign above the general store
Tells me I'm not alone
And the number written on the wall
Right above the telephone
Will bring my family running
Whether they be young or old
Janey's headed home to Buttermilk Grove
There stands my lady
I missed that woman so
She's coming here to kiss me
I can feel her right through her clothes
Yeah, she looks as good as ever
If not better than my dreams
Aw, it must have been a fever
Made me leave her, that's what it seems
So tonight I'll pick my banjo
It's been so long since I've played
And my lady, she just loves it
At least, that's what she'll say
I'll beat it til my fingers bleed
Until the neck is bowed
Oh, I'm headed home to Buttermilk Grove
And the flowers still alongside
Buttermilk Grove
And something in the air tells me
The corn has just been sowed
I've been on my last subway,
No more neon signs algow
Oh, I'm headed home to Buttermilk Grove
I didn't know the tune
I finally left the city
I'm a-going to make it back home by June
Upon my late arrival, by the moon light I could see
The the place I left so long ago
Still looked the same to me
And the flowers still alongside
Buttermilk Grove
And something in the air tells me
The corn has just been sowed
I've been on my last subway,
No more neon signs algow
Oh, I'm headed home to Buttermilk Grove
The sign above the general store
Tells me I'm not alone
And the number written on the wall
Right above the telephone
Will bring my family running
Whether they be young or old
Janey's headed home to Buttermilk Grove
There stands my lady
I missed that woman so
She's coming here to kiss me
I can feel her right through her clothes
Yeah, she looks as good as ever
If not better than my dreams
Aw, it must have been a fever
Made me leave her, that's what it seems
So tonight I'll pick my banjo
It's been so long since I've played
And my lady, she just loves it
At least, that's what she'll say
I'll beat it til my fingers bleed
Until the neck is bowed
Oh, I'm headed home to Buttermilk Grove
And the flowers still alongside
Buttermilk Grove
And something in the air tells me
The corn has just been sowed
I've been on my last subway,
No more neon signs algow
Oh, I'm headed home to Buttermilk Grove

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.

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.

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
