This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
He'd drive a mint green van and watch the Mexicans scatter
Be the first to admit he thought it was funny as hell
Now he's taken to flippin' off hippies at the river
Yeah, I never really liked him but I would never tell
Then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
I have bitten my tongue 'til I can taste the blood
And I scream 'uncle' when you twist my arm
I could say I was just too young
But I haven't yet learned to trust my bleeding heart
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
Come for me and I'll be your canary
And stay 'til then end when it's bad for my health
Yeah, I can can forgive every Tom, Dick, or Harry
But when it comes down to me
I can't forgive myself
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
Just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
I lift myself up for you to wear me down
And I do it every day as crazy as it seems
It's such a little thing like when I catch my reflection
I think, 'Girl don't you know you shouldn't wear those jeans?'
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand
But then again, I never did understand
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
Be the first to admit he thought it was funny as hell
Now he's taken to flippin' off hippies at the river
Yeah, I never really liked him but I would never tell
Then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
I have bitten my tongue 'til I can taste the blood
And I scream 'uncle' when you twist my arm
I could say I was just too young
But I haven't yet learned to trust my bleeding heart
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
Come for me and I'll be your canary
And stay 'til then end when it's bad for my health
Yeah, I can can forgive every Tom, Dick, or Harry
But when it comes down to me
I can't forgive myself
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
Just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
I lift myself up for you to wear me down
And I do it every day as crazy as it seems
It's such a little thing like when I catch my reflection
I think, 'Girl don't you know you shouldn't wear those jeans?'
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand
But then again, I never did understand
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me

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.
Blue

“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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
