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”
OVERTURE [Instrumental]
CONCEIVERS AND DECEIVERS
Breathless, we all seek to be focused
on something we cannot obtain
The Dreamers, the Believers
Never gaining just enough ground
We plumb the depths
We search the stars
Endeavoring for Truth
And in the world’s eyes,
we’ll be martyrs of our own minds
Logicians of a past time
Clinging blindly to a good man’s lie
Faceless, we all seek to be noticed
by something we cannot explain
The Conceivers, the Deceivers
And I will be
all that you need
In time, you’ll see
And in the world’s eyes,
we’ll be martyrs of our own minds
Logicians of a past time
Clinging blindly to a good man
TONIGHT
Sing for me now the stone-earth songs
and lift up your lifeless limbs to the sky
And give me your mind, with some love intertwined,
and let these ancient tongues soothe the weary void
Give time and my words
will grow on you
The summers have blurred,
and you sing winter’s hymns tonight
And I close my weary eyes
The whispering of ghosts pollutes the incandescent mind
It strives to recognize when foolishness is touted
and truth is left to wither undefined
Sing for me now the lifeblood psalms
of a lovelorn self that fades away
And give me your mind, with some love intertwined,
and let these alluring tones soothe the weary void tonight
And I will be
all that you need
In time, in time you’ll see
No need for what leaves
Give time and my words
will grow on you
The walls that you build
will fall down at your feet tonight
In courage and might,
I always sink away
You may be right
Under the keel of this hammering folly,
I close my weary eyes
and let this murky water
push me through, push me through
Now I dissolve my tempters
I close my weary eyes
and let this purer water
actuate my life
WITH THESE EYES
Stand on what you love, and I will knock it down
The ruts you dig will disappear so fast
Left behind to see who gravitates toward what will last
The space between her voice and center of myself
Join and wash these wasted thoughts away
The winding trails of earth no longer lead this life astray
And I will find
the renewal of my mind
provides the rescue from this blight
while all is reconfigured to the light
And with these eyes,
I will watch you fall apart and fade away from here
(I’ve become enthralled with Your voice)
This pale moonlight will nevermore
ebb and flow the tides surrounding us
You and I will never coincide
There’ll come a day when we will both collide
This is what you want and this is what I need
The middle ground we sought has disappeared
When last light is spoke, it will shine through the veneer
The heart has come unhinged, now ready to receive
the peace that it's been missing for so long
Endlessly obsessing on the soft hue of the dawn
Starlight, star bright
First thing I’ll burn tonight
This pride, this spite filled mind
And rise out of the ashes of the night
And with these eyes,
I will watch you fall apart and fade away from here
(I’ve become enthralled with Your voice)
This pale moonlight will nevermore
ebb and flow the tides surrounding us
FINALE
And I will be
all that you need
In time, you’ll see
And with the transcendent mind,
we will celebrate a new life
Synapses firing in real time
Firmly rooted in the knowledge enterprise
CONCEIVERS AND DECEIVERS
Breathless, we all seek to be focused
on something we cannot obtain
The Dreamers, the Believers
Never gaining just enough ground
We plumb the depths
We search the stars
Endeavoring for Truth
And in the world’s eyes,
we’ll be martyrs of our own minds
Logicians of a past time
Clinging blindly to a good man’s lie
Faceless, we all seek to be noticed
by something we cannot explain
The Conceivers, the Deceivers
And I will be
all that you need
In time, you’ll see
And in the world’s eyes,
we’ll be martyrs of our own minds

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
