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.
It's raining in my house tonight
Roof's leaking everywhere
It's overflowing buckets
And pouring down the stairs
Taking spins around the hallway
Then rambling out the door
Out across the highway
And down the empty pier
Then deep into the river
The water it does fall
I hear the river rising
As I listen through my wall
And everytime it rains
And every time I cry
It's just another current
In that river flowing by
Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home
There's a fire in my house tonight
It's climbing up the stairs
It's tearing through my photographs
And choking off the air
And now the walls are burning too
And the roof is crashing in
And finally there's only flames
Where once my house had been
As embers fall the flame take off
In spirals to the sky
Then turn into the blazing stars
That through the heavens fly
And though I mourn my own four walls
I try to understand
I can see my wooden house
In the ashes in my hand
Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home
Roof's leaking everywhere
It's overflowing buckets
And pouring down the stairs
Taking spins around the hallway
Then rambling out the door
Out across the highway
And down the empty pier
Then deep into the river
The water it does fall
I hear the river rising
As I listen through my wall
And everytime it rains
And every time I cry
It's just another current
In that river flowing by
Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home
There's a fire in my house tonight
It's climbing up the stairs
It's tearing through my photographs
And choking off the air
And now the walls are burning too
And the roof is crashing in
And finally there's only flames
Where once my house had been
As embers fall the flame take off
In spirals to the sky
Then turn into the blazing stars
That through the heavens fly
And though I mourn my own four walls
I try to understand
I can see my wooden house
In the ashes in my hand
Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home

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.
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
