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 hope you don't mind
That I know your life
Because I read it every day
And all of your faults
Make me feel so good
Because the media stole my brain
It's so nice to have someone tell me what to think
What is it for, do we want more, do we want more?
And on and on it goes 'till all of us are sucked in.
So shut it off and see we're missing out on living
I am so done
Listening to you
Time for you to go
Time for you to go, whoa
No more wasting my life
On this world's addiction
Time for me to take
You to find your place
I am letting go
Time for you to go
Isn't it nice to know
That the media will sway our votes
'Cause seriously we've got to see
That they choose what we know
Our morals get thrown away
For the next big thing we've got to see
What is it for, do we want more, do we want more?
And on and on it goes till all of us are sucked in
So shut it off and see we're missing out on living
I am so done
Listening to you
Time for you to go
Time for you to go, whoa
No more wasting my life
On this world's addiction
Time for me to take
You to find your place
I am letting go
Time for you to go
We're missing out on His voice
We've traded God for ashes
We've got to think for ourselves
Where's our passion?
I am so done
Listening to you
Time for you to go
Time for you to go, whoa
No more wasting my life
On this world's addiction
Time for me to take
You to find your place
I am letting go
Time for you to go
That I know your life
Because I read it every day
And all of your faults
Make me feel so good
Because the media stole my brain
It's so nice to have someone tell me what to think
What is it for, do we want more, do we want more?
And on and on it goes 'till all of us are sucked in.
So shut it off and see we're missing out on living
I am so done
Listening to you
Time for you to go
Time for you to go, whoa
No more wasting my life
On this world's addiction
Time for me to take
You to find your place
I am letting go
Time for you to go
Isn't it nice to know
That the media will sway our votes
'Cause seriously we've got to see
That they choose what we know
Our morals get thrown away
For the next big thing we've got to see
What is it for, do we want more, do we want more?
And on and on it goes till all of us are sucked in
So shut it off and see we're missing out on living
I am so done
Listening to you
Time for you to go
Time for you to go, whoa
No more wasting my life
On this world's addiction
Time for me to take
You to find your place
I am letting go
Time for you to go
We're missing out on His voice
We've traded God for ashes
We've got to think for ourselves
Where's our passion?
I am so done
Listening to you
Time for you to go
Time for you to go, whoa
No more wasting my life
On this world's addiction
Time for me to take
You to find your place
I am letting go
Time for you to go

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I absolutely love this song!!! The sarcasm is so awesome!! Not to mention very true. It's no wonder that the only news is bad news, because we keep buying into it. It's the same with movies and music. We need to stand up and show that we are tired of R rated movies!!! That's why it's so important to go to the opening weekends of movies like Fireproof, because box office numbers do make a difference.
