This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Hello? Yeah, I just walked in
Yeah, I'm good, you still working?
Tonight, right now? Did I go out?
Yeah, I went out, I went
I went to a couple of clubs
I never went to bed, shit
Wine or water
You said something about a cold drink?
I don't know, I'm delirious
Cups of the Rosé
Bitches in my old phone
I should call one and go home
I've been in this club too long
The woman that I would try
Is happy with a good guy
But I've been drinkin' so much
That I'ma call her anyway, and say
Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he's not around, oh oh
(Are you drunk right now?)
I'm just sayin' you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me
Uh, cups of that XO
All my people been here
I see all of her friends here
Guess she don't have the time to kick it no more
Flight's in the morning
What you doin' that's so important?
I've been drinkin' so much
That I'ma call you anyway, and say
Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he's not around, oh oh
(Are you drunk right now?)
I'm just sayin' you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me
I think I'm addicted to naked pictures
And sitting talking 'bout bitches that we almost had
I don't think I'm conscious of makin' monsters
Outta the women I sponsor 'til it all goes bad
But, shit, it's all good
We threw a party, yeah, we threw a party
Bitches came over, yeah, we threw a party
I was just calling, 'cause they were just leavin'
Talk to me, please, don't have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women that's livin' off me
Paid for their flights and hotels, I'm ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won't say no names
After a while, girl, they all seem the same
I've had sex four times this week, I'll explain
Havin' a hard time adjustin' to fame
Sprite in that mixture
I've been talkin' crazy, girl, I'm lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
"Fuck, I'm sorry"
(Are you drunk right now?)
I'm just sayin' you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me
You not gonna come?
I guess I'm 'bout to just, kick it here then
Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said, "You niggas crazy"
I hope no one heard that, yeah
I hope no one heard that
'Cause if they did, we gon' be in some trouble, yeah
If they did we gon' be in some trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
Yeah, I'm good, you still working?

Yeah, I went out, I went

Hayalperest
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 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.

“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.

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 agree with the comment above about that one special girl. Plus the production is dope and I think in the song he used to have her and something went wrong if you dissect it.
The first part he's all fucked up in the club saying yeah he could have any bitch he wants but to him they're all the same except for one of them that had some affect on him, but she found herself a good guy now and wouldn't be fuckin around with drake anymore.
So he gets so drunk he calls her and says "fuck that nigga that you love so bad" and her response is
"... are you drunk?"
but instead of answering he goes "i'm just sayin you could do better" who knows if she could "do better" but drake's prob just jealous, doesn't know how to deal with it so he gets fucked up off the rose.
In the second part the "bitches we almost had" is prob a reference to her and i think he's saying with the "I don't think I'm concious of making monsters outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad" means I don't think I'm aware that I turn these girls into monsters once shit hits the fan. aka he brings out the worst in them and doesn't realize it till it's too late. But w/e "it's all good", cause it affects the girls more than him. Idk. So the party ends and he "was just calling cause the bitches were just leaving". Kind of like The Weeknd's "I always want you when I'm coming down" song, he calls her because he didn't get any tonight. So he's drunk after the party, hopeless, and miserable with himself since he's ashamed of lending money to women he doesn't care for "after awhile they all seem the same" which also means this girl in the song is "different" to him. And then he just tries to explain himself saying he needs someone there for him and he's apologizing for being so reckless to her but in reality she's already found a good man which explains the "I'm sorry" "... are you drunk?"
line.
"so you're not going to come..." line translates to, i guess i'll just do me then.
I bet he made this into a song too because I could picture this happening and her being like "are you drunk right now?" which would cause someone to think "you don;t really mean what you're saying cause you're so fucked up" but he did and to prove it to her he made the scenario into a piece of music. That's what I thought about when i heard this, drizzy's back. yeee
this song is about his ex alisha...she plays a key part althroughout his music...this song has nothin to do with general girls
Wrong..<br /> And who the fuck cares who exactly it's about.<br /> <br /> But you're wrong because the recording that he was being sued for wasn't Alisha's voice, it was one of his other exes.<br /> <br /> Not everything's black and white. You can interpret shit like this in anyway, and I don't think i mentioned once about this being about "general girls" but "one girl"........
