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”
I must have read a thousand faces
I must have robbed them of their cause
Sickened thirst, sickened thirst
Keeps it together
Soft white glow in the cranium
A bull's eye made sedated
Beware
Beware
Beware
I must have read a thousand faces
And all these voices won't give up
Sickened thirst, sickened thirst
Glues it together
Catatonic leisure at 1000 miles per hour
Beware
Beware
Beware
So who's in charge in here?
Barking out loud so clear
Because I'd really like to meet him
So who's in charge in here?
In the rear view of this mirror
Because I'd really like to meet him
So who's in charge in here?
Barking out loud so clear
Because I'd really like to meet him
Uproar east
Strike west
Have you ever tasted skin
Sink your, sink your teeth in it
Have you ever tasted skin
Sink your teeth into
Have you ever?

A bull's eye made sedated

I must have read a thousand faces
And all these voices won't give up
Sickened thirst, sickened thirst
Glues it together
Catatonic leisure at 1000 miles per hour

So who's in charge in here?
Barking out loud so clear
Because I'd really like to meet him
So who's in charge in here?
In the rear view of this mirror
Because I'd really like to meet him
So who's in charge in here?
Barking out loud so clear
Because I'd really like to meet him
Uproar east
Strike west
Have you ever tasted skin
Sink your, sink your teeth in it
Have you ever tasted skin
Sink your teeth into
Have you ever?

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.

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.
Plastic Bag

“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.
Dahmer sounds close enough. It is certainly about gaining control of lifes thorns, and killing them, be it a person or any other object. And what better way to destroy something than to kill it eat it and then crap it.
