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.
Live inside your head
Get out of your bed
Brush the cobwebs off
Wash your crazy mop
Dry with so much care
Have you thought of this?
The object of your love
Prob'ly don't exist
There's a big hole in the sky where rain falls in
People wasting all my time 'cause time grows thin
They're looking for answers to the same old questions
How, why, where?
They're important, I still love them, but beware
Live inside your head
Get out of your bed
Brush the cobwebs off
Wash your crazy mop
Dry with so much care
Have you thought of this?
The object of your love
Prob'ly don't exist
I will always try to help you, show you doors
Pick a way and walk right through it, make it yours
I know that you're drunk and sometimes
Not in charge of your faculties
Who said that I had the wisdom, had the answer?
Wasn't me
You're in everything
See into our hearts
Like we're made of glass
Fills us full of light
Keeps us living right
In the darkest time
We lean on you to find
Refuge for our mind
I will take the risk
Settle for the bliss
Aim for higher things
Keep my pencil clean
Get down on the floor
Put myself below
You and all of them
Happy serving them
You're hanging by a thread a lifeline to your cloud
Slip into my pocket I won't rat you out
I'll take you to places where they sing their hearts out thundering joy
I'm loving the people who lift up their voices
Strong and loud
Hanging by a thread a lifeline to your cloud
Slip into my pocket I won't rat you out
I'll take you to places where they sing their hearts out thundering joy
I'm loving the people who lift up their voices
Strong and loud
Get out of your bed
Brush the cobwebs off
Wash your crazy mop
Dry with so much care
Have you thought of this?
The object of your love
Prob'ly don't exist
There's a big hole in the sky where rain falls in
People wasting all my time 'cause time grows thin
They're looking for answers to the same old questions
How, why, where?
They're important, I still love them, but beware
Live inside your head
Get out of your bed
Brush the cobwebs off
Wash your crazy mop
Dry with so much care
Have you thought of this?
The object of your love
Prob'ly don't exist
I will always try to help you, show you doors
Pick a way and walk right through it, make it yours
I know that you're drunk and sometimes

Slip into my pocket I won't rat you out
I'll take you to places where they sing their hearts out thundering joy
I'm loving the people who lift up their voices

Hanging by a thread a lifeline to your cloud
Slip into my pocket I won't rat you out
I'll take you to places where they sing their hearts out thundering joy
I'm loving the people who lift up their voices
Strong and loud

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.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
