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 don't wanna hear about it any more
It's a shame I've got to live without you any more
There's a fire in my heart
A pounding in my brain driving me crazy
We don't need to talk about it any more
Yesterday's just a memory
Can you close the door
I just made one mistake
I didn't know what to say when you called me baby
* Don't say good night(bye)
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh, all the way
Can you take me high enough
To fly me over over yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday's just a memory.
Yesterday's just a memory.
I don't wanna live without you any more
Can't you see I'm in a misery
And you know for sure
I would live and die for you
And I'd know just what to do when you call me baby
* repeat
Yesterday's just a memory away
I was runnin' for the door
The next thing I remember
I was runnin' from no more
* repeat twice
It's a shame I've got to live without you any more
There's a fire in my heart
A pounding in my brain driving me crazy
We don't need to talk about it any more
Yesterday's just a memory
Can you close the door
I just made one mistake
I didn't know what to say when you called me baby
* Don't say good night(bye)
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh, all the way
Can you take me high enough
To fly me over over yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday's just a memory.
Yesterday's just a memory.
I don't wanna live without you any more
Can't you see I'm in a misery
And you know for sure
I would live and die for you
And I'd know just what to do when you call me baby
* repeat
Yesterday's just a memory away
I was runnin' for the door
The next thing I remember
I was runnin' from no more
* repeat twice

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.

Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
