I met the day
Feeling cheaper than usual
I guess you could say that I'm on sale
So take what you can while you can
Shop now intensive
I could snap at any moment
And I might feel more expensive
Oh

[Chorus]
I don't owe anything to you
I don't owe anything to you
You don't you know me half as well as you think you do
I don't owe anything
Anything to you

I met the mirror
The plastic hanging from my ear
And in that moment I went unfazed
So take what you can while you can
Less conscious only means more gold
I could snap at any moment and remember
I was not born to be sold

[Chorus: x2]

    If you do a little digging, and look at the live albums that they have from way back, you'll notice that this song has been around since 2003/2004 ish, or, around the time of Crow. Before work really began on A Crow Left Of The Murder, incubus as a band was having legal battles with their current record company, which, incubus didn't think was paying them enough, so they sued. I believe the dispute was settled out of court (check the incubus Wikipedia article, as it explains it better). But because this song was written around then, I feel like it could be about that legal battle. He's feels "cheaper than usual" because the company isn't making him feel like all his work is worth anything. And the line about less conscious only meaning more gold (money), seems to tie in a lot more to my interpretation.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical

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
“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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
