One fine day in my odd past
I picked me up a transmission
I turned the fission ignition
Went lookin' for the broadcaster
And when I first touched some ground
They simply told me to leave
Was kinda hard to believe
'Cause there was no one around

This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound

I had a talented wine
That land of classical gas
And on the planet of glass
They send ya skippin' through time
I got to somewhere renowned
For its canals and the color of red
Lots of guys who shook their heads
Rhythmically to resound

This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't no rock and roll town (this ain't the planet)
This ain't no fuckin' around (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)

I met a guy in a rover
He said it's one more over
It's just there where you're bound
This ain't the planet of sound
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)
This ain't the planet of sound (this ain't the planet)

    I interpret this as someone looking for earth, but landing on the moon instead. But when arriving on earth, theres no more decent music around (at least the music he heard in the original sound when searching for earth).

    "I met a guy in a rover, he said its one more over" - One more over being the one next to the moon, being earth.

    The lyric "I got to somewhere renowned, For it's canals and color of red" - is this Amsterdam?? Clearly hes under the influence when writing (when isn't he)

    Written from the perspective of an visitor who picked up our sounds waves, and has travelled across various planets, comes to ours after hearing some awesome sound waves, only to realise there not here anymore

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”

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
