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.
Now, I need you to catch your breath for me
'Cause you're loosing it
And there's no time left to waste
I promise you I will not leave
But right now I need you to stay with me
Now look at me, look at me
No one's going to die
It's not your time
Not Now
[Chorus]
Don't stop, don't stop
You can get outta of this
Don't be afraid, no, no
Don't stop, don't stop
You can get over this
I'll be your friend, yeah, yeah
So I need you to make me a promise that
You will tell my dad I'm sorry that I
Made him breathe three words
I won't say that, I won't say that
You can tell him yourself when you see him too
'Cause he's coming you just have to
Hold on, don't let go, don't let go
Don't go
[Chorus]
I know you might be scared
But do not be afraid
Flashing lights everywhere
You're safe, you're safe
I know you might be scared
But do not be afraid
Flashing lights everywhere
You're safe, you're safe
Don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't be afraid
[Chorus]
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't you ever stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't be afraid, no no
Don't stop, don't stop
'Cause you're loosing it
And there's no time left to waste
I promise you I will not leave
But right now I need you to stay with me
Now look at me, look at me
No one's going to die
It's not your time
Not Now
[Chorus]
Don't stop, don't stop
You can get outta of this
Don't be afraid, no, no
Don't stop, don't stop
You can get over this
I'll be your friend, yeah, yeah
So I need you to make me a promise that
You will tell my dad I'm sorry that I
Made him breathe three words
I won't say that, I won't say that
You can tell him yourself when you see him too
'Cause he's coming you just have to
Hold on, don't let go, don't let go
Don't go
[Chorus]
I know you might be scared
But do not be afraid
Flashing lights everywhere
You're safe, you're safe
I know you might be scared
But do not be afraid
Flashing lights everywhere
You're safe, you're safe
Don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't be afraid
[Chorus]
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't you ever stop
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Don't be afraid, no no
Don't stop, don't stop

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
In my opinion, this song is indeed about a car crash involving the singer and a loved one, most likely his girlfriend or wife. It's a conversation between the two. The singer isn't injured as much as the girl is. The girl is gasping for air, on the verge of dying, and the guy (singer) keeps telling her she will be okay and it's not her time to die.
Nope. It's a true story about Doug saving a little kid's life. He did an interview about it.
