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”
Like children they play
I wanna feel at home
I want to feel at home
You know I can't stay
I wanna feel at home
I want to feel at home
At night
In the day light
Broken boys
Let's stay tight
So when the morning comes
And we're all dead
We can live free
Just like my brother said
He said
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
But now the freedom that my brother saw
It's deep down
It in your heart
Freedom that my brother saw
It's deep down now
It's in your heart
The children play like my brother say
And I wanna feel at home
And it's the beautiful sight at the break of day light
That and I wanna feel at home
So to the girls and boys calling out wolf noise
One day you'll find a home
And if the world unites
Sets the mountain alight
Then outside your house will become my home
Like children let's play
I wanna feel at home
I want to feel at home
Come on don't stay
I wanna feel at home
I wanna to feel at home
I wanna to feel at home, home
I wanna feel at home
I want to feel at home
You know I can't stay
I wanna feel at home
I want to feel at home
At night
In the day light
Broken boys
Let's stay tight
So when the morning comes
And we're all dead
We can live free
Just like my brother said
He said
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
"Don't stay, go out and play, you can't live until your, your dead"
But now the freedom that my brother saw
It's deep down
It in your heart
Freedom that my brother saw
It's deep down now
It's in your heart
The children play like my brother say
And I wanna feel at home
And it's the beautiful sight at the break of day light
That and I wanna feel at home
So to the girls and boys calling out wolf noise
One day you'll find a home
And if the world unites
Sets the mountain alight
Then outside your house will become my home
Like children let's play
I wanna feel at home
I want to feel at home
Come on don't stay
I wanna feel at home
I wanna to feel at home
I wanna to feel at home, home

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

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.
Oh my God! This shit is amazing! So intense! עזר×
This shit is unquestionably amazing. Some may perceive it as slightly naive and possibly overly sentimental but for me it is deeply cathartic, passionate and vital.
Awesome live performance of this song: youtube.com/watch
does anyone think this sounds a bit like kings of leon if kings of leon didn't suck? ;)
So few comments for such a glorious song...
