Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is slowly sinking
They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling
They're all around me,
Circling like vultures
They wanna break me and wash away my colors
Wash away my colors

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay (okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away (away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons

I cannot stop this sickness taking over
It takes control and drags me into nowhere
I need your help, I can't fight this forever
I know you're watching,
I can feel you out there

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay (okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away (away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons

Take me over the walls below
Fly forever
Don't let me go
I need a savior to heal my pain
When I become my worst enemy
The enemy

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay (okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away (away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons

My Interpretation
This song to me is about your inner demons and how they are suppressed by the people who care about you.

theres no hate(need/end), there is no love. And only dark skies that hang above. I call your name ot and woke alone. Send us signals to guide us home.Light the night up.You're my Dark Star and now you're finally awake(falling away).
-but now.found in youwhat is lost in me,in our world so cold and empty.
I could lie awake just to watch you breathein the dead of night, you go dark on us.

My Interpretation
I believe that the song is about someone who needs help or wants help from someone or something. They are fighting their demons (inner demons) and needs saving that they may or may not be getting.
Piece by piece analysis:
Part 1:They feel that their demons taking over but nobody is able to see that they are. "They" representing those demons
Chorus:This could either be someone who is saving this person or a person that the singer is hoping for that can help them escape from their demons
Part 2:Back to talking about the demons again. When they mention that they can see "you" out there, they could be talking about the same person in the chorus, although this may show that the person is hypothetical because of how they say "I can feel you out there" or "I know you're watching". This could also be someone in their life that isn't helping them but knows of his demons. It's kinda complex and ambiguous, but I think it could be either.
Chorus:See above
Part 3:This seems like he is almost fantasizing about a life with someone helping him and no demons to worrying about. Then he transitions back to real life, talking about how he needs a savior or saving from when he "becomes his own worst enemy" and when his demons take over.
Chorus 2x:See above
This is just my analysis and what I see in it. If I'm wrong about something or if you see something different, feel free to comment or correct if I messed something up. This is an amazing song, very deep, very emotional, the song really strikes a chord with me and I connect with the subject matter very much. Overall it's a really great song.

My Interpretation
The reference to becoming his own worst enemy is the key, I think. Something which he's referring to as his demons, is dragging him under, which could be a bad relationship, mental illness, drug abuse, etc. He's terrified of giving in to it.
His one hope is the person (or thing?) he sees as a would-be savior. "We are one in the same" implies a close connection with this savior, the only one who understands his demons and has the power to control them (whereas he does not have the power, even though he recognizes what's happening to him).
Love the way the melodic chorus pops out from the grinding verses in this song.

The Night We Met Lord Huron This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:"I had all and then most of you"Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart"Some and now none of you"Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why" Mountain Song Jane's Addiction Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it.""There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets." Magical Ed Sheeran 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. 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. Plastic Bag 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.
