WWhy are you silent?
You can't speak your mind
We are indifferent
Partners in crime

They said it couldn't happen
There's private enterprise
It's all collapsing
Before your very eyes

And they want you to keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Yes, they want you to keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself

Once we were strangers
Comrade and friends
Now it's too dangerous
We don't look, we pretend

The company doesn't need you
It needs an alibi
They're trying to cover up
The scandals and the lies

And, they want you to keep it to yourself
Mmm, they want you to keep it to yourself
Ooh, they want you to keep it to yourself
They want ya to keep it to yourself

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself

You know there's something missing
Your story isn't true
They televised the future
The sights are coming through

And they want ya to

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Mmh, I want ya to
Keep it to yourself
Mmh, I want ya to
Keep it to yourself

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”

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
