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”
It's been a long time comin'
They wonder why I act like this, ya heard me
That's all I know
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets, can't take it out of me
I'm getting money, getting money that's all I know
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets, can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know
Why don't you criticize me for actin' like I act if I ain't never had a thang
My daddy got locked up when I was 12, my whole life changed
My momma hustled hard and then had to get the bills paid
While you's probably ridin' around the city in yo Escalade
But now that I got money I went and bought me 2 mansions
Jus' to stunt on them niggas who told me I never had it
I walked out the door the other day
And my momma told me you got a lot to learn
She told me jus' because we got all this money to burn
Don't think it can't be your turn
To go feed you to the streets, so I stay packin' some heat
24 hours 7 days of the week 'cause they creep
24 hours 7 days of the week, I'm a beast
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets, can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know
I'm 18 years old and I done seen more drama than a lil' bit
I don't advise you to talk about it unless you lived it
My pedal to the metal while I'm thinkin' 'bout all of my dogs
I lost in the streets, tryna ball like me
And this is for my niggas who used to roll gold D
Poppin' the trunk on them swanggers, hoppin' out in tall tees
So, all my niggas that's ballin' and feel like me
From the struggle, the gutter, to makin' a lotta G
Keep my head up remember who got me right where I'm at today
Long as I got money I give a damn what a hater say
One thang I know for sho' I'm a get paper till it ain't no more
Plus I got a crazy flow, yeah
I know somebody said a hard head make a soft ass
That's why I keep a block on the seat while I'm ridin' in my Jag
51/50 you don't know nothing 'bout it
Homeboy, I don't judge, still ain't learning
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know
I'm makin' money, nigga you can't tell me shit
I'm gon' keep on stuntin'm 'stead of shinin' on these haters
I'm countin' money, doin' my thang I be hustlin'
From Monday to Sunday, doin' what I want I be gettin' it in
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know
They wonder why I act like this, ya heard me
That's all I know
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets, can't take it out of me
I'm getting money, getting money that's all I know
They see I still I got much to learn
But I know I still I got money to burn
I'm in the streets, can't take it out of me
Getting money, getting money that's all I know

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
