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.
For a better tomorrow
Forget Remember When
Better not borrow
memories from them
There's a hole in tomorrow
So Forget Remember When
History Hollow
Carved out by them
Deep enough to fit
all of us in
How much time's wasted on
Words and thoughts I know are wrong
There isn't a choice except to stop
thinking there isn't a choice
How strange that there's rain,
but how could you have known?
x4

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”

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.
This song is amazing. I think the title/lyrics are pretty self-explanatory. He's saying when we start thinking about how it was, "Remember when we did this" Remember when we did that," it can't be good for us. Living in the past (even with the good memories) is never a productive thing. It wastes time; when you "borrow memories" you're holding everything up against those memories- it lessens the value of 'now'. Perhaps the "There's a hole in tomorrow" also resonates with what I have interpreted the song to mean...the hole exists because one isn't even living in the present, living in the past allows for no tomorrows.
"There isn't a choice except to stop thinking there isn't a choice," (how amazing is this!?) We keep dwelling on the past and holding on to the hurt, and even the good stuff, but once again that doesn't allow for us to live today, does it? We assume we can't let go...and that thought process needs to be eliminated. We all have choice, he conveys.
I don't get the last bit really, perhaps he means unexpected things happen all the time? Like the rain--who could have seen it coming really? Therefore, how can we base anything (our lives?) of off the past's foundation? Or the rain could represent tears? I'd love to see any other thoughts on this, I'm probably way off.
