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.
Blast oxygen masks, smoke filled cabin
Depressurize, don't be afraid, hold onto me
We're goin down, but not our love
Death don't seem so bad, 'cause I'm with you
My only love, so close your eyes
Kiss me one last time, we're gonna
Die, but not our love, not our love
Depressurize, don't be afraid, hold onto me
We're goin down, but not our love
Death don't seem so bad, 'cause I'm with you
My only love, so close your eyes
Kiss me one last time, we're gonna
Die, but not our love, not our love

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.
Great song. Very emotional. It's so clever - yet simple - built up: Easylistening kinda style @ the beginning, and then "BLAST!".... Too love the way the sliding on the fretboard at the end of the song (along w/the "aaaaaaaaaah") resembles an airplane crashing...
i love this song it is so sweet... best song on the cd i think... tho second to worse of their cds but still great cd....
This song rules ass!!! I love it! To me it makes me think about my old band. I knew it was ending, but I still have my guitar, and I can still play. Thats what I love the most.
If any of you knew anything about NoFX, then you would know that this song is about Fat Mike's friend and his wife that died in a plane crash.
his wife isnt dead......
maybe he means his friend and his friend's wife? regardless it is really a sweet song. though i must admit i don't know much about nofx, i still love them.
This is my favorite off of So Long & Thanks... It's a great song
I didn't mean that Fat Mike's wife was dead, cuz she can't even listen to this song without starting to cry you dumbass.....I meant that his FRIENDS wife is dead.
i LOVE this song!! i always start to cry when i hear it
It's about two people in love going down in a plan crash and their love. It's simple but good. If you don't pay attention and just let the catchy song flow then you might think it's some retarded love song.
