This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I loved you all like you were mine
Like I birthed you from some greasy crevice on my underside
I hugged you when you were fresh in your new born goo
And tickled your slimy feet
Then I cleaned you with a towel and sat you in a satchel
And placed bug-eyed goggles on your faces
And magnifying glasses in your tiny hands
I slung you from my sling shot, sending you to different places
To get a closer look at foreign lands
So you could tell me what the Ukrainians do in their back yards
And if the ground in Syria looks like it's hard
When you flew over Siberia, did the wolves look harrier?
And did the fish near Newfoundland sleep half an hour earlier?
I slung you from my sling shot so that you could fly like the birdies fly
And peek through your looking glass
So that you could spy
Like I spied
When I was a spy
Like I birthed you from some greasy crevice on my underside
I hugged you when you were fresh in your new born goo
And tickled your slimy feet
Then I cleaned you with a towel and sat you in a satchel
And placed bug-eyed goggles on your faces
And magnifying glasses in your tiny hands
I slung you from my sling shot, sending you to different places
To get a closer look at foreign lands
So you could tell me what the Ukrainians do in their back yards
And if the ground in Syria looks like it's hard
When you flew over Siberia, did the wolves look harrier?
And did the fish near Newfoundland sleep half an hour earlier?
I slung you from my sling shot so that you could fly like the birdies fly
And peek through your looking glass
So that you could spy
Like I spied
When I was a spy

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.
Punchline

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.
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.
