Come On Mess Me Up

Cub Sport

We were walking on Sparks Street, growing up real fast
I left it behind pretty quickly, still the farthest thing from pretty
I found comfort, I fell in love with avoiding problems

We were riding on Smith Street, we were right on track
I left it behind without sinking, they all said I wasn't thinking
I found comfort, I fell in love with avoiding problems

But I want this, you know I want this
So come on mess me up
And you can break me, if you'll still take me
Ruin me, if you'll let me be
One of the ones you say you won't forget
'Cause I want this, you know I want this
So come on mess me up

I was stumbling on Suffolk throwing up real hard
Inside was kind of misty, I knew not of the history
I found comfort, I fell in love with avoiding problems
And that was the problem!

'Cause I want this, you know I want this
So come on mess me up
And you can break me, if you'll still take me
Ruin me, if you'll let me be
One of the ones you say you won't forget
'Cause I want this, you know I want this
So come on mess me up

'Cause I want this, you know I want this
So come on mess me up

    "I fell in love with avoiding problems And that was the problem"

    How in order to really feel fulfillment in a relationship you must give yourself completely to someone. They can mess you up but they may end up becoming the other half of you in the end.

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.

Amazing
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.

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.
