This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Let me introduce myself
I'm a social disease
I've come for your wealth
And leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry
I got here on my own
I won't ask for mercy
I choose to walk alone
Whats yours is mine and whats mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers
What if I do get caught?
What if there is no judgement?
If Im right I loose nothing
If your right I loose it all
I ought to get caught
Because I'm doing something wicked
I'm guilty haunted by my fears
And the only consequences
Are dread and the fugitive mind
You built walls to protect you
So no one will infect you
Pursued by thoise out there
That vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find
What you allready left behind
You don't know when the end is
But it's coming fast
I'm a social disease
I've come for your wealth
And leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry
I got here on my own
I won't ask for mercy
I choose to walk alone
Whats yours is mine and whats mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers
What if I do get caught?
What if there is no judgement?
If Im right I loose nothing
If your right I loose it all
I ought to get caught
Because I'm doing something wicked
I'm guilty haunted by my fears
And the only consequences
Are dread and the fugitive mind
You built walls to protect you
So no one will infect you
Pursued by thoise out there
That vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find
What you allready left behind
You don't know when the end is
But it's coming fast

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.
I think this is being taken a bit too deep. Sort of like Metallica's "Of Wolf And Man" isn't about alcoholism or drug abuse;its just about a werewolf. This song, to me, is outlining what a thief or what a criminal feels in their mind. It outlines their thought processes.
"What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgement? If I ’m right I lose nothing If you ’re right I lose it all"
That part of the song is just the way it looks. If the criminal is deemed to be the correct person in a court of law, they don't lose anything, but if they're prosecuted and say, sent to jail, they lose everything.
