This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally,
I know now what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics,
You'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort
In what my mind can't comprehend
Finally,
I work out what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go on and follow someone else's lead
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally,
I know now what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics,
You'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort
In what my mind can't comprehend
Finally,
I work out what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go on and follow someone else's lead
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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” 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.

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.
I think this song is about wanting to get away from everything because they are forced to do things they dont want to do like film whatever they were filming in Japan. They think that if they go to Tokyo and forget everthing then thery will be happier (the grass will be greener on the other side). thats what i think anyway.
