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”
Nobody ever said this would be easy
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
It started out real slow
like a rain on a dreary day
when its hot and the clouds are low
and your miles from home
I never should have gone this way
I started to look back
saw the world in my rear view mirror
i gotta get back on track
when the skies look black
strike a match and clear
up the night sky
never losing sight
Nobody ever said this would be easy
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
With a promise of a new direction
I'll right the wrongs that I made in life
Now I will find
Where I belong
Into the sunset
we went with no real goal
but I've got a feeling that
there's a promised land
where the streets are filled with gold
forever in paradise
drinking down all the finest wine
where all of the lovin's right and the skies alive
with a brighter shade of
blue with spots of white
yellow sunshine light
Nobody ever said this would be easy
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
With a promise of a new direction
I'll right the wrongs that I made in life
Now I will find
Where I belong
Where am I going
Where have I been (8X)
Nobody ever said this would be easy
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
With a promise of a new direction
I'll right the wrongs that I made in life
Now I will find
Where I belong
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
It started out real slow
like a rain on a dreary day
when its hot and the clouds are low
and your miles from home
I never should have gone this way
I started to look back
saw the world in my rear view mirror
i gotta get back on track
when the skies look black
strike a match and clear
up the night sky
never losing sight
Nobody ever said this would be easy
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
With a promise of a new direction
I'll right the wrongs that I made in life
Now I will find
Where I belong
Into the sunset
we went with no real goal
but I've got a feeling that
there's a promised land
where the streets are filled with gold
forever in paradise
drinking down all the finest wine
where all of the lovin's right and the skies alive
with a brighter shade of
blue with spots of white
yellow sunshine light
Nobody ever said this would be easy
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
With a promise of a new direction
I'll right the wrongs that I made in life
Now I will find
Where I belong
Where am I going
Where have I been (8X)
Nobody ever said this would be easy
with my eyes on the lines
I swear that I will find
Where I Belong
With a promise of a new direction
I'll right the wrongs that I made in life
Now I will find
Where I belong

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

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.
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.
