This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Speak here on your cue
Now look in a camera fight
See the slightest hue
In the soft focus lights
I wish this were all over
We're in for a long, long haul
If you won't
Fade away
Fade away
Before this all goes to waste
Your words in backwards prose
You have such a candid tongue
You don't sink like stones
Like all the other ones
Just set the bar so low
You don't have so far to fall
Fade away
Fade away
Before this all goes to waste
I fear that these words may prove fatal
Gonna lay all my cards on the table
Just look how far we've come
And you'll send us ten steps off
You've got it all so wrong
Why don't you go away
Now look in a camera fight
See the slightest hue
In the soft focus lights
I wish this were all over
We're in for a long, long haul
If you won't
Fade away
Fade away
Before this all goes to waste
Your words in backwards prose
You have such a candid tongue
You don't sink like stones
Like all the other ones
Just set the bar so low
You don't have so far to fall
Fade away
Fade away
Before this all goes to waste
I fear that these words may prove fatal
Gonna lay all my cards on the table
Just look how far we've come
And you'll send us ten steps off
You've got it all so wrong
Why don't you go away

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is the most blatantly self-reflexive song on the album, almost a sequel to "Close to Home." In that song, they were lamenting the fact that their hometown would never come around to appreciating what they had made of themselves, and this is a rebuttal of those harshest critics that decry anything but a return to Something to Write Home About. This album is almost defiant in its refusal to align with people's desires for more hooky love songs, and this is the perfect track to end on, ending perhaps their most refreshing and energetic album with a staunch decree: They aren't going to fade away without a fight, so go fuck yourself.
